http://www.amazon.co.uk/Depravity-New-York-28th-1975/dp/B00JKHYLKO/ref=pd_ys_ir_all_27
just seen this and wondering how legit it is. I was asking the band if they were going to reissue this back in '98 so glad to hear it has finally appeared if so.
THis is them before thy got hold of a drummer and actually advertise for one during the show.
I love her early band live stuff from '75 and '76.

Looks like Applebush is connected to Easy Action who put out Stooges, MC5, Yardbirds, Sonic Renezvous Band etc etc

Fuck! Only one copy left and probably by the time I get more money it'll sell out.

I'm curious. Applebush is an Alice Cooper song, as far as I know.

Covered amazingly by Josef K.

From Pretties For You, good songs but poor production. A friend recently gave me a copy of the doc Super Duper Alice Cooper which was cool...

Couldn't see it on the sub page for the Applebush label when I looked or I might have linked to it myself.

I know its a good set cos I had it as a bootleg cd in the late 90s. & Easy Action seemed to come up with much better sound on Detroit rock live stuff that had been released elsewhere earlier so hope this is a good version.

Can anybody vouch for Sound Quality on this? (I've got an old bootleg and don't want to spring for this if it's identical, despite the improved packaging). The bonus tracks are the same as the bootleg, worryingly.

Could only find this online (using google translate from French):

"If you are a fan of PATTI SMITH or if you want to see him especially flee this CD. It's simply inaudible. Unrecognizable voice inaudible instruments cacophony générale."

"him" - right on!

On the Amazon page there are short clips of each track. Sound quality seems pretty reasonable to me for something recorded off the radio in 1975. I've got far worse quality boots I listen to regularly.
