    A spectacular collection of rare and unreleased recordings from famed guitarist of Deep Purple, James Gang and the Billy Cobham band, Tommy Bolin!

    Features rare material of Bolin's jazz-rock band Energy, an epic 26 minute version of Marching Powder (here called Marching Bag) from the album Teaser as well as songs Bolin was preparing for his third solo album before his untimely death in 1976!

    :thumbup:

    its not being released in Europe and will only be available as an import.

    the "rare" tracks look like they've already come out on TBA stuff already.
    i reckon i've 9 of those tracks - Heartlight is clearly the version on "The Unreleased Tommy Bolin Volume One" that came out a few years ago :(

    Even the TB official site doesnt say which are previously unreleased :mad: :( :confused: :huh:

    Energy's 'Heart Light' appeared on the 1996 'From the Archives vol. one' release (track 5) RPM records

    It also appeared on the 1999 TBACD-13 release 'Energy 1972' (track 2)

    In 2008 it appeared again, in a slightly better remastered version' on Disc 1 (track 6) of 'The ultimate redux' , a 3CD Tommy Bolin Archives compilation on Friday Music.

    The 2CD 'Energy radio broadcasts 1972' on TBACD 10 & 11, disc 1- track 7, has a 15 minute, different, version of Heart Light, but sounds more muddled and is less poignant.

    I'll try to come up with a complete list when I get my hands on 'Whirlwind'.

    Love the Peaches t-shirt Tommy had on. A good portion of my vinyl collection came from the Peaches that used to be here in St. Louis.

    This 2CD set is only interesting for 'Spanish lover (Disc 1) Red Skies and Sleepwalker' (Disc 2), as they are unreleased demos, recorded in Miami FLA in 1973 prior to Tommy joing James Gang. Most of the rest previously appeared on various Tommy Bolin Archive releases which were not nationally or globally released.
