KOCH Records To Release Deluxe Edition Of Classic John Entwistle Band 
Performances This Fall

KOCH Records have announced the November 12th release of Left For 
Live: Deluxe, a 2 CD set featuring over 20 classic live performances 
of the John Entwistle Band compiled from the tour dubbed "Left for 
Dead - The Sequel." The full length set, which features Entwistle 
solo material alongside Who classics such as "Had Enough" "Heaven & 
Hell" and "The Real Me", is being produced by longtime Entwistle 
collaborator and drummer Steve Luongo and will feature extensive 
liner notes, previously unpublished photos and original artwork 
created by Entwistle himself. "John Entwistle was a gift in my life 
the likes of which I will never know again." Says Luongo. "He was the 
most gifted musician I have ever had the pleasure of playing with and 
he was my musical soul mate. A rhythm section is like a musical 
marriage -- we had a great one for 15 years." 
Entwistle, who passed away June 27th on the eve of the current Who 
tour, was perhaps the most celebrated bass guitarist in rock music. 
Entwistle pushed the boundaries of the instrument, transforming it in 
the process from a strictly rhythm instrument to another lead 
instrument in a rock setting.  "John did for the bass what Jimi 
Hendrix did for the guitar."  While known mostly for his unique style 
on the bass, as well as some technical innovations that remain in 
effect to this day, he also composed some of The Who's most well 
known songs, including "Boris The Spider" "Cousin Kevin "and "My 
Wife", and his brass and synthesizer arrangements were an integral 
part of The Who's overall sound. In addition to his own prolific solo 
career, Entwistle also found time for several guest appearances 
including a tour as part of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band in 1996.
