(NOTE: BRAND NEW/FACTORY SEALED ITEM!) (NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!) "Double album of recently unearthed live recordings from 1974 by legendary Midwestern underground hard rock trio Truth & Janey, captured stretching out on extended jam sessions over several nights in Topeka, Kansas. Celebrated Iowa hard rock trio Truth & Janey are captured here doing what they did best, stretching out into raw extended jams featuring heavy guitar action from BillyLee Janey, booming fuzz bass from Steve Bock, with Denis Bunce locked in the zone behind his drum kit. 'Midnight Horsemen,' originally released as a three-minute single in 1972, is featured here as a side-long 22-minute jam -- and is a prime example of vintage Truth & Janey. Included are several songs otherwise unreleased in any form (live or studio), as well as early versions of 'Down the Road' and 'My Mind,' from their 1976 underground hard rock classic debut album, No Rest for the Wicked. A new pressing of this double album collection of live recordings excavated from the archives of a long-time roadie, made over several nights in Topeka, Kansas in 1974. Limited edition of 500 copies. All previously unreleased recordings." Commentary on Truth And Janey's legendary 1976 independently released hard rock album "No Rest For The Wicked"...: "No Rest For The Wicked is surely one of the greatest hard rock records of all time. It's tightly constructed and tightly played, with more memorable riffs and solos than the entire careers of a dozen other similar bands. The bass playing is monstrous and the drumming solid but, believe it or not, tasteful. This singing in only average, and the band tends to compensate with multi-tracked, highly reverbed lead vocals, not really the worst way to deal with the issue. A song that illustrates the best features of the band is "The Light," which opens with a combination of low and high guitar riffs, a melodic bass line and precise rhythm guitar. Not too many bands could resist the urge to go crazy with extra solos and spastic drumming, but this just works its way through a cleverly composed pattern, creating the right kind of tension and intensity. It's perfect. The best song is probably the nine-minute "Remember," a complete smorgasbord of melodic and dissonant riffs and hooks. The album doesn't have a lot of overdubs, but the production is quite professional, and it's heavy from start to finish; not a wussy moment on it. Guaranteed to blow the mind of any mainstream hard rock fan, and, of course, it sounds equally good to those who enjoy Tin House and Sir Lord Baltimore as much as Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. This is one of those albums where you keep thinking 'the next song can't possibly be as good as what's come before', but it always is." - Aaron Milenski/The Acid Archives Tracks on this Double LP are as follows:A1Midnight Horsemen22:34B1Help Me6:53B2Country Fever6:08B3My Mind7:17C1Trains Must Roll19:54D1Cut And Dried4:44D2Down The Road4:51D3Around And Around4:29 Shipping rates to the following locations at this present time (note: all shipping rates are subject to change.)

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! We are record collectors here, too, and we pledge to package your records (or any other item) in a way in which we would like to have records/other items packaged, sent to us and received by us as well. When packaging up records that are non-factory sealed items (as is standard for many import releases) or are open "used" items for shipment, we remove the LP and inner-sleeve from the album cover and place them on the outside of the cover to protect the cover from being subjected to any potential seam-splitting during transit. When packaging up factory sealed records for shipment, we leave the item sealed, intact, as is. HOWEVER. If a customer REQUESTS that we unseal a factory sealed record to send with the LP and inner sleeve on the outside of the cover (to protect the cover from any potential seam-splitting during transit) we will do so. Please be sure to make this request of unsealing your record for shipment if that is your packaging preference. When packaging up non-factory sealed items (or factory sealed items that have been unsealed at the buyer's request) that have custom company or other manner of printed inner-sleeves, we remove the record from those printed inner sleeves (returning the printed inner sleeves back into the album cover) and place them inside brand new, generic white paper inner sleeves, which are then placed on the outside of the album cover to protect both the album cover AND the original printed inner sleeves from being subjected to any potential seam splitting during transit. We do this for all new AND used items that are in our stock. All LPs, be they new or used, are sheathed inside of new, protective plastic outer sleeves (with the exceptions of space or weight limitations that may occur with packaging your items - such exceptions will take place when they allow for a lower cost of shipping charged for your total order.) We go the extra mile to protect and preserve your items, folks! With but a few exceptions (odd size combined orders or other package configurations and considerations...) All 12" records are sent to you packaged in quality 15" x 1" x 13" rectangular shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 10" records are sent to you packaged in quality 13" x 1" x 13" square shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 7" records are sent to you packaged in quality 8" x 1" x 8" square shaped corrugated cardboard 7" record mailers. All Compact Discs are sent to you packaged in quality 7" x 1" x 5" rectangular shaped cardboard CD mailers. All Cassettes are sent to you packaged in quality 5 1/2" x 1" x 3" rectangular shaped cardboard Cassette mailers (Note: Cassettes sent to international addresses will be packaged in a larger box of some appropriate size configuration to accommodate the size and application of mailing/customs labels sent to international addresses.) All Cassettes and CDs or records that come packaged in odd-sized or odd-custom packaging are sent to you in quality corrugated cardboard boxes of various unspecified dimensions, with various sorts of interior padding (styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, cardboard filler pads, etc.) to protect and preserve your items. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions about any items that we have in stock or anything else, please feel free to inquire with us at any time (we are at your service and will get back to you with answers to your questions as soon as possible.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS (be they first time customers or our many repeat customers) and WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
