NRBQ Scraps Companion

[DanG]

Someone mentioned interesting Q stuff was available at Deadnet.com, so I went to see. Wow! Ordered the companion immediately. I love Scraps, so this was an automatic. Click here: Link (http://store1.dead.net/site/store.cgi?invoice=&cat=Music&t1=1012074793&t2=580115)

Anyone got this already?

Yes, that was I who mentioned the NRBQ connection with www.dead.net.

And I have had that disc since it's release. It is very good. It is basically a live session from 1972 (that was broadcast on the radio in Memphis), with 6 outtakes (alternates) from the actual Scraps sessions. Essential 'Q listening.

And the new album "Atsa My Band" is very good also - better, IMHO, than their last release.

MikeT, thanks for the original heads-up, and the added info. :)

I will see if I can't listen to a few cuts from Atsa My Band on the web. Can't wait for the Companion to arrive. What's with Deadnet's 1-4 weeks shipping estimated time of arrival for lowest cost shipping? Odd.:confused:

Actually, Dan, that time frame is to cover themselves since the US Mail can sometimes be unpredictable. Most of the time, since I ordered all Dicks Picks and now the new 'Q stuff from them, the item will show within 1 week - 2 at the most. When I ordered "Atsa My Band" it took exactly 1 week from time of order to show up in my mailbox.

Grateful Dead Merchandising would get tons of calls/e-mails if alot of their orders took longer than 1 - 2 weeks. So by giving themselves up to 4 weeks, they can offset any inquiring customers that may be having problems caused by the postal service and not Grateful Dead Merchandising.

Good Listening.

MikeT, I see this thread has only 45 views at the time of this posting. A little disappointing, we've got to get the word out on the Q!

NRBQ is great!

You owe it to yourself to listen to a few tracks on the web!

Try "Scraps", you won't be disappointed!
