SURFACE NOISE vol. 2
I can't begin to hurl superlatives at this record. I've been through two vinyl copies. The first one developed a skip right at the best part of 'Irene Wilde'. Couldn't have that.
What could be better than Ian and Mick Ronson with a super tight band running through Mott and Hunter tunes? Not much. The live version of the forementioned 'Irene Wild' is reason enough to own this two record set. Throw in awesome versions of 'just Another Night', 'All The Way From Memphis', 'Cleveland Rocks', 'I Wish I Was Your Mother', 'All The Young Dudes', and 'Rock and Roll Queen', and well, you've got yourself one of the best live records of all time.
Trust me.
I was also listening to this record:
My copy is 29 years old. It sounds at least that old. If I bought a new one, I'd probably still listen to this copy. I'm used to the pops, they're part of the record.

We are fully set up to transfer vinyl to digital and send out AAC's or mp3's. We've done it with vinyl (and cassettes) before.
We'll shoot some Ian Hunter over to Fred. I think he'd enjoy it, and it'll be a good chance to show off our "remastering" skills...

I actually just sent Fred AACs of the 'highlights' which is pretty much the songs mentioned in the post. I recorded them from my vinyl into Digital Preformer, a touch of the Waves Limiter, bounce, convert to AAC in Itunes - Hotmail - gone and done.
I have to say Rod turned me on to that Ian Hunter record, which in turn turned me on to Mott. I can't say the same for Fred, but I wouldn't be surprised if his story was similar.
Yep - the Hotter Than Hell is one the oldest LP's I have. I'd say it's peers are:
Kiss Alive
Kiss Dressed To Kill
Kiss Destroyer
The Beatles Abbey Road (the oldest)
THe Beatles Revolver
That was 1976-7 for Ted.
I also had Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour and the Red and Blue best of packages, but sadly I don't own the same copies of those LP's, I've since replaced them.
I think the first Lp I bought that wasn't Kiss or The Beatles was Aerosmith Toys In The Attic.

Ian Hunter Live was also a record that my brother played incessantly when we were growing up. It's a great record
