Head East Live

2013, Head East were one of a number of hard rock bands that enjoyed great success in the Midwest of America whilst barely registering a blip on the East and West coasts. During the 1970s however, it wasn't uncommon to whisper their name in the same hallowed company as heavy hitters such as Kansas, Styx, Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon. Indeed, being big in the Midwest meant you didn't really need to secure the approval of hipster critics or rack up a string of hit singles. So long as you could sell out sports halls and coliseums that was all the acclaim needed. HEAD EAST LIVE! , originally released in 1979, featured tracks taken from their four previous studio albums and breathed new life into their sound, whilst reminding us of their uncompromising approach to performance. Check out the Deep Purple influenced ,,Jefftown Creek", the startling rendition of ,,Never Been Any Reason" and the epic ,,Elijah". Simply an incredible record. Fully remastered, 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork.
