Crawling From The Wreckage by Rockpile. Live 1979. Kampuchea Concert.

This is Crawling From The Wreckage by Rockpile featuring Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Taken from the album The Concert For The People Of Kampuchea. I have a question...why is this album not released in box set form or even on a regular CD? It is out of print for some reason. There is only some of the finest bands to ever walk upon a stage here...The Who...The Clash...The Pretenders...Elvis Costello...Rockpile...Robert Plant...Paul McCartney and Wings...Queen...and a supergroup called Rockestra. It is one of the greatest live albums ever and it cannot be found on CD for some reason. I would imagine they would raise some serious money for the cause if they released this concert in a box set featuring the complete sets of each band. Lord knows I would scoop it up in a heartbeat. The Clash alone would make this a must have collection for any serious music fan.

Anyway, that's what I think.

[Staggerbaroque]

Damn! I'd forgotten how ferocious this version is. Listen to the way Nick Lowe and drummer Terry Williams bear down in perfect sync on the hairpin turns of the chorus !!

I'm not sues, but it may be rights issues that prevent its release on CD/DVD.

Wore out my vinyl of this concert. My fave Dave Edmunds/Rockpile song!
