• Probably the wrong forum to post this question but......... anyone know how I can get hold of a copy of "On the Wings of a Russian Foxbat"?

    Sorry if I have broken some forum rule about where to post.

  • As far as I know has it been released officially around 1996 or 1997 or so. I bought it in a regular record store at that time. I believe it´s the official version of the long time un-official "King Biscuit Flower Hour" bootleg. Maybe Roberto as bootleg specialist can tell you more. I saw it in various record stores over the past years still available here and there. Dunno, if this counts for all countries though ...

    I saw it online too, at http://www.jpc.de, which is an online record store, based in Germany.

    Look at:

    http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/home/hitlist/-/page/5

    or simply search for general CD´s "Deep Purple" at that website. You can choose english language at the top righthand side.

    Hopefully, I could help.

    It contains the best Tommy Bolin performance that I know from the Purple times. And it is the one which has a wrong title on the booklet. It says "The Grind" would be on it but its actually "Homeward Strut" though.

  • yeah it came out officially a few years back and is taken from the King Biscuit shows. I'll see if i can find it for you.

    Tommy is playing really well. but the full length remixed remastered Last Concert in Japan cd has some great stuff on it too.

    :ghcp: "It's in my blood"

  • This reminds me of a question I've had for a long time:

    Just where is Mistreated on the official release? I've got the vinyl bootleg, and it's there, but for some reason it never made it to the CD. (I have the KBFH version by the way).

    Anyone know the answer to this?

    Hey, Marc,

    good to you see here ...long time no see...;)
    I have a copy of the "King Biscuit..." and the official "Foxbat ..." release and on both there isn´t "Mistreated" on it.
    Not sure if there is another recording of that show going around with that track on it. Personally, I have never heard "Mistreated" with Tommy though. Didn´t know that it was ever inlcuded to a setlist at that time. Would be quite interesting to hear that one...:D

    see ya, Achim
