First up, what I think is one of the most insanely perfect collection of songs ever compiled. This CD, "Shakin' Fit" has inspired me more than twice. No longer in print, "Shakin' Fit" takes some of the most raucous and groovy tracks from the unsung heroes of rock and soul and never relents. A good handful of these tunes may have been introduced to you by bands like The Detroit Cobras and The Dirtbombs. But here, we have the originals in all their grimy glory.

As a bonus, courtesy of the incessantly generous Don at ASH, is this short but absolutely killer Graham Parker set featuring Mick Ronson on guitar, and originally broadcast on Swedish radio in 1991.
From ASH:
"Mick had finished the Hunter/Ronson tour and been diagnosed as having cancer. This was his last tour. He hooked up with Johan Wahlstrom and The Yobs. The first set had Johan and Mick playing a combined set. For the second part, the band including Mick would back Graham Parker."

Wow to both.
And thanks...
mick ronson---what a geetar god---slaughter on 10th avenue always make me think about how nasty 10th avenue was and always will be.
This one's great, but "At The Party" is my choice for best compilation ever! We got "Viddle Diddle Baby," the IMMORTAL "Emulsified," and "Camel Walk" (if I remember the titles correctly) among a number of other gems. Hint. Hint. Hint.
If Sal doesn't mind me posting a link, it's not the greatest, but here is some artwork I found for the GP/Ronson show. It is for a 2 cd boot with an audience recording of Stockholm 20/10/91 as disc 1 and this show, listed as Gavle, not Stockholm, 25/10/91. If anyone in eyeshot has that 20/10 show please let me know, here or find me at my blog therarestuff.blogpsot.com
Thanks Sal for the awesome double header!
