THE GOOD RATS- GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC VINYL RIP
Here's a rip from my collection of the Goodrats Vinyl LP, "Great American Music"
The best unknown band in the world! It appears this is out of print but available used. So if you like it go to Amazon or e-bay and get it!

Bruce Kulick - Lead Guitar, Joe Franco - Drums, Peppi Marchello - Lead Vocals, Mickey Marchello - Guitars, Vocals, Schuyler Deale - Bass Guitar.
Naming their seventh album Great American Music may be the only way veteran Long Island bar band the Good Rats will ever call attention to the fact that they've been making terrific American rock & roll for over a decade. By forging songwriter-lead vocalist Peppi Marchello's snappily offbeat hooks and wolfish howls on a neo-heavy-metal anvil of raucous guitars and robust rhythms, the Rats have developed a formidable and intoxicating sound that's one of rock's best-kept secrets.
Commercially, Great American Music might succeed where recent Good Rats records like From Rats to Riches and Birth Comes to Us All haven't, because the group has finally captured on vinyl both the hardy rock & roll spirit of its songs and the combustible crunch it musters in concert. "Julie" moves to a strident 6/4 beat, while "Audience" is built on a remarkably catchy hook hung on the rather unwieldy phrase "two-hankie tear-jerker." "On My Way to School" is a simple tune of childhood past. These numbers are cranked out with the same urgency as the hamfisted raver "New York Survivor" and the celebratory "Great American Music Halls," in which Marchello manages to catch the entire touring experience in a four-minute microcosm. Even the LP's one ballad, "Oh So Good," holds its own on the strength of Marchello's fiery vocal and the aggressive guitars of his brother Mickey and new recruit Bruce Kulick.
What comes through loudest and clearest on Great American Music is the Rats' unshakable commitment to the music they play. As Peppi Marchello shouts in "Rock and Roll Point of View": "It's a way of life for a lucky few/It's a love affair and It must be true/It's rock & roll good-time Point Of View." (RS 347)

What This Is All About
I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.
I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.
I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........
Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.
Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!
If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!
I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
