THE FEBRUARY 1977 TOUR



THE FEBRUARY 1977 TOUR - An audiovisual documentary vol. 1

(full colour hardcover book + CD, ROCK LEGENDS)

Once in a while a bootleg label releases one of the best products in the "import market". This one is definately one of them!

A fantastic release from the Rock Legends which will be released in about 2 to 3 weeks from now. 

This time the label releases a very limited edition book the size like the FTD books with a bonus CD, 192 full colour pages with many never before seen photos.

The flyer describes pretty much what will be next Rock Legends product. This will come in superb quality and definitely an excellent companion to the FTD series of the same type ex: Flashback, Rockin' Across Texas and the like . This is the beginning of a new thematic audiovisual documentary series and fans won't want to miss them as they come out.

I personally think that this is a beautiful release, although there's no info what's on the CD. But it is a february 1977 tour book, thus it's obviously that the recording on the CD is similar to the bootleg "Coming On Strong". This is NOT confirmed for so far. We'll just have to wait for more info on this.
