2 CDs + dvd
With a howling and unholy mix of punk rock and the blues, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and The Gun Club exploded on the L.A. club scene in the early 1980s. By 1984, the band had gone through a few lineup changes and expanded their musical palette to deliver “The Las Vegas Story”, their most diverse effort to date.
Pierce’s original Gun Club co-conspirator guitarist Kid Congo Powers returned to the fold after quitting The Cramps to find that Pierce had now become an accomplished guitarist in his own right. Now the album is back as a super deluxe two-CD/DVD set, containing a digitally remastered version of the original 11-track album produced by Jeff Eyrich.
This edition features a bonus disc with 10 live tracks recorded at Scorgie’s in Rochester, New York on August 8, 1984. The CD package includes a DVD of rare footage of the band both on and off stage. This isn’t your typical high-gloss concert footage, but rather appropriately rough and raw footage that’ll make you feel as if you’re watching the iconic band in a club.
