 | | Description: | Are you ready to hear the best live band of
the early â??70s? We at Real Gone Music have
been privileged and proud to release Fannyâ??s
four classic Reprise albums, each a tuneful
testament as to why they were the first all-
female band signed to a major label. But there
has always been a piece missing from the
Fanny fable; for while the band hooked up with
big-time producers and engineers like Richard
Perry, Todd Rundgren, and Geoff Emerick,
their studio albums never really were able
to capture the sheer excitement they could
generate in concert. However, buried away
in a vault thousands of miles away from their
Los Angeles base there long lay a recording that
could make the Fanny myth a reality, one that
could provide the emphatic answer as to why
these four ladies were the hottest ticket on the
Sunset Strip during the early â??70s. Now, over
50 years later, its timeâ??and their timeâ??has
come. Live on Beat-Club â??71-â??72 presents the
two sets Fanny recorded for the German TV
show, mastered by Mike Milchner of Sonic
Vision from hi-res mono files taken from the
original videotape. Aside from the incendiary
and incredibly tight performances, what
immediately becomes apparent is that all
four of these women were powerhouses in her own right.
June Millingtonâ??s stringbending Les Paul wizardry, her sister Jeanâ??s
driving, melodic bass lines and Janis Joplin-esque vocals, Nickey Barclayâ??s intricate yet
somehow rocking keyboard work, and Alice de Buhrâ??s precise, piston-like drumming
punctuated by ferocious fillsâ??put together Fanny was an overwhelming display of
talent, Yet somehow, as these shows reveal, live they were greater than the sum of
their parts. Thatâ??s why getting these recordings released has long been a crusade
for Alice, and why June tells the story in the accompanying liner notes (which feature
contributions from June, Jean, and Alice) that the engineer who was assigned to do
the transfers of all the Beat-Club material told her that their material was the best in the
vault, better even than Hendrix. We are releasing this invaluable archival recording on
juicy peach vinyl and on CD with a bonus track of the soundcheck to boot. Essential for a
full understanding of â??70s rock! - CD version with Soundcheck as extra track"Live on Beat-Club '71-'72" is a CD that captures the raw energy and trailblazing spirit of Fanny, one of the first all-female rock bands to sign with a major label and gain international recognition. Recorded for the legendary German TV show "Beat-Club" in the early 1970s, these performances present Fanny at their peak: tight, powerful, and unfiltered. Expect driving rock grooves, soulful vocals, and virtuosic interplay between guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards, all delivered with an authenticity that made the band a cult favorite and a key influence on later generations of women in rock. The sound quality reflects carefully prepared archival material, preserving the immediacy and atmosphere of live television studio sessions while making them enjoyable for modern listeners. This release is an essential document for fans of classic rock, 70s live recordings, and anyone interested in the history of pioneering women in music.
Fanny were groundbreaking in the early 1970s: a fully self-contained rock band whose members wrote, played, and sang their own material at a time when the rock scene was overwhelmingly male-dominated. They toured widely, appeared on major TV shows, and earned praise from critics and fellow musicians alike. Their blend of hard rock, pop sensibility, and funk-inflected grooves, combined with tight vocal harmonies, made them stand out on stages around the world. Over the years, Fanny's influence has been increasingly acknowledged, and they are now rightly celebrated as precursors to many later female and mixed-gender rock acts.
The CD is released by Real Gone Music, a label known for its high-quality reissues, deep catalog research, and respect for musical heritage. Real Gone specializes in bringing overlooked, out-of-print, or hard-to-find recordings back to life, often with restored audio and historically informed presentations. By making archival performances like "Live on Beat-Club '71-'72" available again, Real Gone underlines its commitment to preserving important chapters of rock history and making them accessible to collectors, fans, and new listeners alike. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
