A lot of time it wasn't live in the early 70's. It was very hard to get a decent sound in that particular studio so bands would re-record elsewhere.

Fucking enjoying this.
At the risk of sounding like a codger, this is a world away from the over produced, sterile, corporate shite you get now.

Roxy music on now , I used to think they were shit . But my mate was playing the Viva album when I visited him about 15 years ago and I had another go eith them.
one of the most under rated bands - my mate went on their world tour as Manzanera's guitar tech circa 2002 too

'God gave Rock and Roll to you, put it into the soul of everyone'
Christian Rock is the invention of Satan - well, I find it an incentive to murder, anyway

Argent failed to substantiate their claim that God gave rock n roll to you with even a single shred of evidence, Bobby Byrd made the same mistake with I know you got soul.
