Real Gone Music US レコード& CD

Review: The self-titled debut album from one of the first all-girl rock bands. Fanny formed in 1969 and signed to Reprise records that year. The band had five albums in total until 1975 when they broke up fully. The band is influential for their playing and the lyrical topics the band wrote about with many citing them as an inspiration. The Cream cover 'Badge' got some airplay nationally from this album but otherwise, the album was not a commercial success. There are many historians that point to the lack of success of this band as sexism with the industry at the time for an all-girl rock band. The band gained a cult following from those who remember and kept the music playing. This reissue comes in a beautifully designed gatefold with great looking orange vinyl.

Review: Here is a great example at the power of the reissue market. A series of live recordings were released on CD only starting in 1994 from the band's tape archivist Dick Latvala. When the vinyl boom kicked back into heavy gear with reissues in 2012, some of these Grateful Dead were brought to vinyl for the first time. Like many things with the band, their fans are devoted as much as any in music history. Then you have another variable that adds to the demand: A band known for their live performances that are individually different in many ways over the years. Thus, prices went out of control for these costing as much as a Ferrari monthly payment. Thankfully, these are starting to get a another pressing. Volume two is highly regarded because of the live jam version of Dark Star. An ideal track to show the amazing live ability of the band. This version comes in double vinyl form with a very nice gatefold.
