COMPLETE
1978 LIVE CONCERT RECORDING - FIRST TIME ON VINYL The two-time
Edison-Award winning blues band Barrelhouse from The Netherlands will
release their complete live recording with Albert Collins for Record
Store Day 2021. The year is 1978 and Barrelhouse invited Albert Collins
to join them for a TV show. At the time he was not as well known in
Europe as he would become in the eighties. It became his first
appearance on national TV outside of the United States. He returned to
the Netherlands later that year for a short tour and the recording of
this live album.“Albert Collins and his manager Dick Shurman arrived on
the airport, he brought a flightcase with his Fender Telecaster, a
packet of spare strings and a suitcase. On stage he was a star, off
stage he was one of the band, wanted to travel in the Barrelhouse 9
seater.” This Record Store Day 2021 release contains the extra – never
on vinyl pressed before - track ‘Things I Used To Do’ and is a 1LP 180
grams colored vinyl (transparent red / solid white / black).The extra
track completes the total live concert by Albert Collins on December
28th in 1978. The pressing is limited to 1500 copies worldwide.
