Finally after 5 years patience it's finally there: SM's long awaited title: COLD ENGLISH BLOOD RUNS HOT. This 2cd Set captures the second show from MSG 25 July 1972.
Before 2004 we only had two songs in soundboard from the Dick Cavett show from the first show. But last year the magic moment was there: Torn & Frayed discovered both shows from 25 july 1972 ! And you know how ? Simply by asking !!!! A guy who recorded every show he saw in MSG for a period of 3-4 years holded these shows in his archive but never circulated them. And you know why not? Because simply nobody had ever asked him about those stones shows !!!!!!
Torn is STP's arch angel who brought these shows back to earth. He circulated the shows first through Rolling Stones Boots and then soon al bootleglabels picked up this title. VGP's Cold English Blood Runs Hot/Exile's Five englishmen etc / other jap[anese issues etc etc .
We were happy as can be but still we knew there was something out there................ Sister Morphine had a tape but didnot release it. They released SB titles which were remastered by their CCH and found a market for Soundboard loving fans. Lucky for us 72 adorationals, SM finally took the effort to restore the tape they had in hands for many years and here it is : SM's Cold English Blood Runs Hot!

Which show is it ? The last months SM was spreading the news that VGP's 2nd show was bogus. Wel read and see=>
The show is exactly the same as VGP's second show (issued on a 3 cd set with both shows on them).
Markers: Mick singing Yeah Yeah before starting with BS. Same inbetween chatter from Jagger but edited ; missing from the intro "Ladies and Gentlemen" ; missing some words from Jagger (for instance before Love in Vain).
Tape Source: It's a different audience tape source than VGP; different screams out the surrounding. On SM tape you hear Keith hitting the strings one time before BS ; it's missing on VGP ; SM is more bright ; more distinction between the instruments. Bitch has a lot more Keith's guitar then VGP's ; It's a definite upgrade. The Show is much more "In your Face" than VGP's and makes you feel you are in the audience!.
How good is it? One of the best audience tapes from 1972 => YES.
But as good as Charlotte ?? NO.
Do people who have VGP's CEBRH/Exile's five englishmen spend 5 days bla bla / Etc Etc need this SM disc ? Yes they do. It's the best version of this second show.
Usually the Stones second shows on 72 tour are a kind of tired / sloppy / lazy compared to the "breakfast" shows. But this one is uptempo energetic good real horroshow 72 stones. SM brings it in the best quality.
Buy this title !!
Yours sincerely.
