Notes:

THE GENE POOLE COLLECTION VOL. 220


Carrying on with our thin association game of the Stones thread from the prior volume, this time we find ourselves at the new Peppermint Lounge, for Robert Gordon with Chris Spedding.
This is Anton Fig's first gig with Robert's band, although they had worked before with Link Wray. The band took the stage at 2 in the morning, so technically it was June 5th, but that's the city that never sleeps for you.

Spedding plays and sings the same numbers as he did at the Lone Star gig we presented way back in Volume 26, and the performances here are just as solid, with little to fault on Gene's tape for this outing. Compared to that set,
you get some more Johnny covers on this one -- Burnette and Cash, that is.
