Seemingly while working in Frisco on the album Rory went to winterland
for the now infamous Sex Pistols gig so impressed with the energy of the Pistols on stage Rory decided he wanted to get back to the 3 piece line and so he scrapped the band got the 3 piece together and wrote 'Brute Force and Ignorance" as a homage to the energy of the Pistols. Notes from San Francisco the lost album was to be the one to break Rory in the states using a brass section and other instruments on the album to make the sound bigger. Rory attended at least one mixing session for the album commenting "I dont like the Hi-Hat sound" left the studio and never returned to the album. All I know is its new and its Rory BRING IT ON Cheers, Pat james |

Rory Gallagher - Notes From San Francisco (2CD)
In November 1977, after completing a 6 month world tour, Rory Gallagher and his band flew straight from their last show in Japan to San Francisco to begin working on a new album, with famed American producer Elliot Mazer (Neil Young – 'Harvest', Janis Joplin – 'Cheap Thrills', The Band – 'The Last Waltz'). Mazer recalls that the sessions grew “tense”, as Gallagher wasn’t happy with the mixing process, describing them as “too complicated”, and by the end of January 1978 he shelved the whole record and broke up his band of the past 5 years. This lost studio material is to be released for the first time this year on "Notes From San Francisco," a representation of the album that would have been released between ‘Calling Card’ and ‘Photo Finish.’ The new mix of the material was overseen by Rory's nephew, Daniel Gallagher. CD 2 is a blistering live album taken from four nights at The Old Waldorf, San Francisco December 1979, performed by Rory's three-piece lineup including Gerry McAvoy (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums). Daniel Gallagher chose to add the live side to highlight why Rory chose to shelve the studio album and reduce his band back down to a three piece. ------------- There is a crack in everything ...... that's how the light gets in |

noooo! just saw this, missed it
should have it in the post soon though 
*Edit - just heard Fuel To The Fire, and first impression: Love it. Hearing the first few bars, I thought it the track was going to be over produced or very different, but no, that's Rory and his Guitar. Love the production, and that's only one track! Looking forward to Bullfrog Blues, recorded December '79, when I retired from the Grove. Probably my favourite track that Cecil finished with on the Sunday nights.. (from '72 Live in Europe) |

On 6 June a legendary, long lost Rory Gallagher record finally sees the light of day - and we're celebrating by giving away copies of the album. NOTES FROM SAN FRANCISCO is a remarkable 2CD set containing the "lost" album and a spectacular, also unreleased, live album recorded in 1979 when Rory was at the very peak of his powers. 
Here's the story of the "lost" album... In November 1977, after completing a 6 month world tour, Rory Gallagher and his band flew straight from their last show in Japan to San Francisco to begin working on a new album, with famed American producer Elliot Mazer (Neil Young - 'Harvest', Janis Joplin - 'Cheap Thrills', The Band - 'The Last Waltz'). Mazer recalls that the sessions grew "tense", as Gallagher wasn't happy with the mixing process, describing them as "too complicated", and by the end of January 1978 he shelved the whole record and broke up his band of the past 5 years. Fast forward to 2010 and Rory's brother and manager, Donal, allowed his son & Rory's nephew, Daniel, to recover the album from the Gallagher archive and begin the process of mixing it with his engineer. Rory said in 1992 he hoped the album would surface one day but only if it were remixed and now we finally get to hear this never before issued studio album from a key period of Gallagher's career, an album that would have been released between 'Calling Card' and 'Photo Finish'. 
CD 2 is also another fabulous discovery, a blistering live album taken from four nights at The Old Waldorf, San Francisco December 1979. In the audience Van Morrison, on stage Rory Gallagher (guitar/vocals), Gerry McAvoy (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums). Incidentally, the album's sleeve image is an original postcard Rory Gallagher posted to his mother while on tour. Gallagher would always send postcards back home to Ireland from wherever he was in the world. The Limited Edition Deluxe Edition of 'Notes From San Francisco' will include a set of personalised Rory postcards complete with 'Rory Stamps' which have been sourced from the original US company that produced them. Here's the tracklist: CD1 1. Rue The Day 2. Persuasion 3. B Girl 4. Mississippi Sheiks 5. Wheels Within Wheels 6. Overnight Bag 7. Cruise On Out 8. Brute Force & Ignorance 9. Fuel To The Fire BONUS TRACKS 10. Wheels Within Wheels (Alt version) 11. Cut A Dash 12. Out On The Tiles CD2 1. Follow Me 2. Shinkicker 3. Off The Handle 4. Bought And Sold 5. I'm Leavin' 6. Tattoo'd Lady 7. Do You Read Me 8. Country Mile 10. Shadow Play 11. Bullfrog Blues 12. Sea Cruise  ------------- There is a crack in everything ...... that's how the light gets in |
