ALEX HARVEY BAND’s Massive Live Box Set To Be Out

For all their idiosyncrasy, both in studio and onstage, THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND were a fantastic proposition in front of audience – unreliable, in terms of any given performance’s quality, but fantastic nevertheless, and the Scottish ensemble’s followers, of which there are surprising multitude, never tire of collecting their recordings. It’s these fans, then, that a forthcoming box set is aimed at, with 21 discs spanning 1973-1977 and preserving for posterity no less than 16 concerts.

Titled “Good Evening Boys & Girls” and scheduled for release on April 10th, it’s a usual Madfish affair, with soundboard and radio recordings enhanced and bootlegs restored as much as possible to sound more than decent and a lot of paper paraphernalia added to enrich the music’s context. A lot of it came from the great late Ted McKenna’s personal archives, and there’s a photo signed by Zal Cleminson and Chris Glen. A highly desirable offering, for many.
