Roulette Rock - Yet Another CD Boot Review

["Scott Schrade" <schrade@akrobiz.com>]

This one's called ROULETTE ROCK & the back cover says "Soundboard
1969/70."

Well, it does contain great-sounding stuff, but there are problems.  First off,
"Substitute," "Happy Jack," & "I'm A Boy" are from LIVE AT LEEDS!
Boy, there's some rare shit!

A lot of these songs, while sounding clear, crisp & in stereo, are very sloppy.
Not superb versions for sure.  Some of it sounds like the Washington D.C./
Georgetown University stuff & some of it was new to me.  But like I said,
these aren't great live versions.

But if you're looking for nice quality, mostly stereo live stuff, then, by all means,
buy it.  Be warned though that there are better boots "out there."
