| Naked Empire source: Empire Burlesque outtakes Tracks: New Danville Girl Tight Connection To My Heart (3) Clean Cut Kid (2) I'll Remember You Seeing The Real You At Last Something's Burning Baby Trust Yourself Emotionally Yours When The Night Comes Falling (3) Never Gonna Be The Same Again (3) Waiting To Get Beat (3) Straight A's In Love (2) The Very Thought Of You (2) Driftin' Too Far From Shore (2) Who Loves You More (2) Go 'Way Little Boy (1) Review: This Godfather release was issued in a folding cardboard package in late 2007. The back cover insert linked above was created from the package back that pays tribute to the first release of this material, Clean Cuts, with the cover photo. The cover is a great looking take off of the official 1985 CBS release Empire Burlesque album cover. This material has been released before, but this is the best release to date both visually and sonically. The material here was copied from the Tempest Storm release of a decade earlier, but the recording has been digitally processed to remove even more tape hiss. It is most evident on the quiet passages of Emotionally Yours. Cranked up, the listener will find it hard to dispute that they're hearing anything other than the original analog master noise. This set is simply a must have for anyone who doesn't own one of the previous releases. Another highlight is New Danville Girl. It's an earlier version of Brownsville Girl with altered lyrics. This song, as well as Driftin' Too Far From Shore were album outtakes, but appeared the following year on Knocked Out Loaded. This set contains alternate takes of every official song on the album except for my favorite. The addition of the eight outtakes attempts to placate. The blues soaked Who Loves You More is nice, as is the previously mentioned Knocked Out tracks, but it's not too hard to see why the others remained outtakes. © 2008 CD Pinkerton - bobsboots.com |
