Vikki Britton [1976] Alive

Tuff backup band with guitar/keyboards/bass/drums recorded live at her club in Texas 1976 with hot vocals by her and issued as a memorial, the word I got was she was killed and the sticker on the shrinkwrap says "Songs She'll Do No More" with an awesome picture of her rising out of the grave on the front, truly a stunning cover. Versions of "Think", "Sweet Inspiration", "Dancing Machine", "Night Life", "Respect", "Me & Bobby McGee" etc. ending with a jammed out 9:25 long version of "I've Got The Music In Me". An especially cool LP for fans of tuff female vocal lounge club rock obscurities. [PM]
