GOODBYE CHICKEN SHACK SDL 8008 (-74) GERMANY

After existing ten years and releasing six LP:s through a large number of different settings, this became the last original issue as "Chicken Shack" before the three year recess 1974-76. Stan Webb was only remaining member - with Dave Wilkinson, Rob Hull and Alan Powell exclusive to the issue. It's a live concert recorded at Brunel University, London, October 1973 using a Pye Mobile Studio and produced by Barry Murray. Two songs from "Imagination Lady" mixed with a couple of Stan Webb guitar numbers and some classic rock. Although I miss some of the original band atmosphere, it's still a very good rock/blues album with accomodative backing and great guitar parts. The audio and ambiance are remarkable, giving that "being there" feeling I like so much. Favorite tracks - "You Take Me Down" and "Webb's Guitar Shuffle". A UK Deram release was planned, but postponed. To my knowledge this German was the only original issue. Japan 1976 vinyl on London (GP-175). German 1994 CD on Deram (844 240-2). UK 2013 CD on Esoteric (ECLEC 2379). First German had label as shown here and matt fold/out cover. (LYBÖ*) (GÖXÄ*)
