Rocktopia: Thunder - 'Rough & Ready' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Ant Heeks: As Thunder have released more official live CD's than they have studio albums, when I first heard that they were releasing another one I initially wondered if we really needed it? But this one is slightly different from the norm. This is a 4-disc pack containing 2 shows recorded on the 2005 'Magnificent Seventh' tour, but varying in sound quality. Discs 1 & 2, 'Rough' were recorded directly from the mixing desk at Club Citta, Kawasaki, Japan, and obviously contain no overdubs or mix tweaks – to all intents and purposes it's a bootleg, and because of this there is minimal crowd noise. Discs 3 & 4, 'Ready', were recorded at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, and is a full multi-track recording. Read the review on Rocktopia. http://ping.fm/s5NXv
