There is some great music on the Brotzmann mp3's.

Las Vegas Grind Part One (1956-1965)

The concept here is that back in the 50s and 60s, strip clubs in Las Vegas featured bands that played along with the, uh, show. Strip released four LP volumes and two CD volumes compiling vinyl rips of these collectible 45s in 1992. The Part One CD collected most of the tracks from LP Volumes One and Two, with the Part Two CD collecting most of LP Volumes Three and Four. From there, Strip apparently morphed into Crypt Records. These two CDs were rereleased in 1995, along with LP Volume Five, collected on Part Three CD. Confusingly enough, in 2000 LP Volume Six was released with a corresponding Part Six CD. So, there is no Part Four or Part Five on CD...

The mastering on these tracks is pretty mediocre. There appears to have no attempt to clean these scratchy old 45s up. Also, the packaging contains absolutely no information on the tracks or artists themselves. I spent about six hours online researching the various tracks. Six hours! Well, that's what I get for being "detail oriented," I guess! It paid off, though. I was able to find out the release year for all but two of the tracks and specific vinyl release info for all but eight. I placed what vinyl release info I could find in the comment field tag, including original a-side and b-side listing, record company and serial number.

During the research, I discovered that these bands were from all over the US and the original vinyl releases fetch pretty high prices. It occurred to me that this isn't really a compilation of rock 'n' roll bands that played Las Vegas strip clubs (although some of them may have), but more a collection of obscure raunchy and gritty rock 'n' roll tracks from the 50s and 60s. Mostly instrumental, but many of the tracks feature yelling or oddball narrative bits. Tracks three and four were flip-flopped on the CD track listing. I only noticed because the Peter Gunn theme is unmistakable. I ended up making corrections to four of the track titles and six of the artist names. I love finding mistakes. Also, although this is listed as Part 1 on the cover and disc itself, I went with Part One because it is listed that way on the spine.

I mail-ordered this back in 1992 direct from Strip. Even though I enjoyed it, I unfortunately never got around to ordering the later volumes. Too bad, as they seem to all be out-of-print and are priced fairly high as collectibles. I scanned the cover myself. It's slightly different than the 1995 Crypt Records rerelease.
