Description
This auction is for a two record set of Johnny Cash's live album 'Strawberry Cake ' from 1976. The first record is the white label promo copy of this live album and the second record is the original 12 inch Columbia acetate of this live album. It took me years to find this combination of one of my favourite live album of the Man in Black. The acetate have some different mixes. It's difficult to find a white label promo copy and its very difficult to find the acetate. It's almost impossible to get the promo copy AND the acetate together! This is your chance to have a unique combination of a wonderfull live album of one of the greatest artist of all time.
The condition of the two records is excellent! No vissible scratches or hairlines. You don't find better copies.
The sleeve is in VG+ condition, there is a little wear on the upper spine.
The acetate is 100% authentic! Comes from Heritage auctions.
Heritage Auctions is the largest collectibles auctioneer and third largest auction house in the world.
Don't let this wonderfull set go!
While this may not be the best Johnny Cash live album (that distinction goes to either Folsom or San Quentin depending on who you ask and on what day), it’s certainly the most interesting. Interspersed with stories and dialouge and pure interaction with the audience. This album makes you realize that Johnny Cash’s career did not suddenly end in 1970 and pick back up in 1994 as some would like to believe. No, The 70’s were a fruitful time for the Man In Black, while certainly not as classic and legendary as his 50’s and late 60’s performances and albums, he was certainly at the top of his game as a performer.
This album is a testament to that, and it’s a wonder in this day and age how an album like this remains out of print. If you are looking for Johnny Cash singing the hits, look elsewhere, no Folsom Prison Blues performed at this show (could this be the only Johnny Cash live album to NOT have Folsom on it?). Only hits to speak of are Big River and possibly I Got Stripes (with the band yelling out between verses). Includes an amazing rendition of Rock Island Line which he plays for Lonnie Donogan (who had a hit in the UK with Rock Island Line) who is in the crowd.
The most interesting part of the show however is when June starts to sing Church In The Wildwood but is interrupted as the theater (the London Palladium) must be evacuated for an IRA bomb threat.
