Day 91 Jerry Lee Lewis "Mean Woman Blues ("Live" At The Star Club Hamburg)"

What's better than finding a vinyl copy of this at Slowboat? Finding a copy of this with a gatefold pop-up map of St Pauli in it, is the answer you're looking for. Throw in a conversation about listening to gay, confessional songwriters while watching the rugby and Hinderwell dissing all live albums, and you've got the perfect shopping experience. You certainly don't get that on ebay.

Anyway, this is ferocious. The backing band (the Nashville Teens) are equal parts hyped up at playing with the Killer and shit scared of him. They race along in breakneck pursuit of Jerry Lee, who sounds about ready to kill. If you like rock n roll in any form, you have to like this...
