HERE

As requested, here’s the Rock Candy Records ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ reissue of 4 of the most celebrated FRANK MARINO And Mahogany Rush albums. The hot n’ heavy “Live” from this Canadian band is considered one of the greatest live albums in Rock history, consistently rewarding and is enthusiastically recommended to hard rockers and metalheads of all time.
This fresh remastered reissue include 2 bonus tracks.

The commonly held belief about Frank Marino, leader of Mahogany Rush, is that he was motivated by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. Of course this was a misquote taken from an early interview which persisted throughout his career and, to a degree, still dogs his activities to this very day.
Of course it was a myth utilized to successfully advance his presence in the market place.

Born and raised in Canada, Frank commenced his musical career as a drummer before moving to guitar and forming Mahogany Rush who issued five well received studio albums prior to this live LP.
Harnessing a wealth of strong material the band recorded several dates on their 1977 world tour in order to compile a comprehensive selection of choice cuts including ‘Dragonfly’, ‘The Answer’, ‘I’m A King Bee’, ‘Talkin’ ‘Bout A Feelin’ and the impressive ‘World Anthem’.

Of course Frank’s guitar is the prominent instrument showcasing incredible fluidity and aggression as well as an obvious nod in the direction of Jimi Hendrix, but as a power trio the dexterous support of bassist Paul Harwood and drummer Jimmy Ayoub makes the recordings all the more arresting.

As an authentic live album, one devoid of studio overdubs, the contents are hugely impressive allowing Frank to showcase endless solos.
Rock Candy has added two bonus tracks taken from the band’s performance at the 1978 California Jam II festival held in front of 350,000 fans – wow, that were popular concerts for sure. While these bonus are a welcomed addition, the main album recording blow them out of the water in terms of sound quality.
Live albums are hard to improve with modern remastering, anyway, this FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSH ‘Live’ reissue sounds great.
