Good Rats
Belmont Park, Elmont, N.Y.
Aug 23rd 1980 FM

Reposted from July 2020

From Long Island NY.
...think Blue Öyster Cult/Ramones/Patti Smith/Dictators etc.
Peppi Marchello is like Eric Bloom, Bon Scott or Dick Manitoba.
Brother Mickey is a guitar hero and Joe Franco is an amazing drummer
and...mega plus point for me is that Flo & Eddie turn up for the encore of Turties songs.

The Chance

Poughkeepsie, NY

December 19th 1987

Remastered audience capture.

Mountain, Cream and Good Rats all rolled into one.

A bit rough around the edges but I like it's raw quality

and I prefer this to the, perhaps more widely shared,

Record Plant recording from December 10th 1987.

The Peppi Marchello Demos

1978-1979

Long Island, N.Y.

These are remastered studio demos

which I believe were acquired from the band's sound engineer.

The live gigs are excellent but I think these recordings

give a different perspective on Peppi's talents.

A little gem for Rats collectors.

Good Rats

My Father's Place

Roslyn, N.Y.

December 31st 1980

Another great show from the Good Rats recorded on New Year's Eve.

Mainly pre-FM but the radio station didn't broadcast/record the whole thing

so an audience source has been used to bring you the full gig.

There are a couple of cuts but now it's mostly intact.

This was the final performance by this line-up.

Good Rats
The Detroit Club
Port Chester N.Y.

Another brillant Good Rats show.
Pre FM sourced.
There was a big drop in volume during Audience
which continued from that point on.
I have fixed this, otherwise untouched.
