| J-Card Comment | Released in 1993 by the "International Broadcast Recordings" label. Recorded at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA on 3/27/1986. However, the last 3 songs on the CD are actually from a 2/14/1984 show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. The California portion of this recording (often incorrectly referred as being from Los Angeles) was broadcast on "The King Biscuit Flower Hour" on 7/13/1986. This show was rebroadcast by King Biscuit on 8/31/1998, and sent to radio stations on CD (the last 3 songs were not part of the King Biscuit broadcast, and therefore not on this radio-only CD). "Wings Of Mercury" is credited as written by Donald Roeser, Eric Bloom, and Albert Bouchard. However, according to Bolle Gregmar, the song was actually written by Dream Syndicate (Karl Precoda), and given to BOC to use (both Dream Syndicate and BOC were managed by Sandy Pearlman, and Tommy Zvoncheck plays keyboards on at least one Dream Syndicate album). It was planned to be played by BOC on the Hear 'n Aid project (a heavy- metal album project organized by Ronnie James Dio to raise money for the hungry -- the album featured a group of stars singing one song, plus a number of tracks by some of the artists), but was not used. "Wings Of Mercury" was actually played as the first encore of the Santa Monica show, but was inserted in-between "Godzilla" and "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" for the radio broadcast. The recording of "Born To Be Wild" appears to have been edited to remove the "Texas Chainsaw guitar duel". The second verse of "Shooting Shark" is not on the recording -- either the band did not perform the second verse, or it was edited out of the mix. The name of this release no doubt comes from the Celtic Frost song of the same name. |
