Kevin Gray Mastered at Cohearent Audio
Pressed at Pallas on 180 gram vinyl
High Quality Pure Analogue 180g Vinyl LP!
This live album was recorded in August 1980 during a five-day residency at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California. The performance featured two new original songs, "Stand In the Fire" and "The Sin" alongside one new cover of "Bo Diddley's A Gunslinger", and of course the hit song "Werewolves Of London".
This live album — put together from a five-day residency at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood — entered the annals of vinyl history as one of the best live albums of all time and was awarded four stars by the magazine Rolling Stone. Ambiguously titled by the comprehensively educated Zevon, who had been confronted with the tough side of show business, Stand In The Fire delivers genial simple pure and straightforward rock right from the start, which hit the public with a vengeance. Full of vim and elation, the band pours out the significant, biting verses with fire ("Jeannie Needs A Shooter") and fuels the emotional inferno with high-speed bursts of rock ("Excitable Boy"). Zevon proves his skills as a singer and songwriter in the ballad-like yet powerful "Mohammed's Radio." In a direct comparison to this number we have the forthright, no-nonsense hit "Werewolves Of London" with its close harmonies. Just how Zevon manages to succeed in getting his delicate voice and lyrics over to the public is shown in the powerful mix of heavy and honky-tonk ("I'll Sleep When I'm Dead") and finally in the thunderous final number — "Bo Didley's A Gunslinger" — with its percussive and metrically complicated antiphony.

This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
