New Box Set

[afgee108]

Recently announced, new 6 CD box set, to be released 28 July: "Wildflower", consisting of several radio broadcasts and live recordings.  Main contents appears to be the previously released CDs - "Willin' In LA", "Transmission Impossible" and "Sausalito '73" plus a few other odds and ends on disc 6.

bootleg . . .sounds like it

Where was this box set "recently announced"?

[afgee108]

It was on UK website www.spincds.com, where you can find full track details etc.  They are also listing a similar collection of radio broadcasts by Emmylou, due out next week, though it has been put back a couple of times already.

From the Spin CD site, two other Linda albums (sigh...)

Not only are these most likely bootlegs, that isn't even Linda on the cover.

Some of this, if not most of it, could be laid at the fact that Linda herself never did a full live album in her career, just two tracks on the FM soundtrack in 1978 (recorded at the Summit in Houston in November 1977), and the live tracks recorded at the Troubadour during the summer of 1971 for her self-titled album. Still, for these people to take advantage of that fact with bootlegged recordings where the sound quality is likely not all that great is way below the belt (IMHO).

Linda did us one better. She gave us a few high quality live concerts of video quality. The HBO Mad Love special, the Canciones special and the What's New special. She also gave us many television appearances which I have yet to see by any number of other rock artists in her day. I am sure there must be others and am happy for the effort and money it must have taken to do those things by Linda.  From what I know she paid her people quite well and she got quality work from all of them.

Like the Emmylou set mentioned above, which is now scheduled for release on 18 August (this is like waiting for the Trio box set), the Linda set has been pushed back and is now due (possibly!) to be released towards the end of September.
