Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live Cover Versions, 1987-1992

Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers played well over a 100 cover songs in concert over the years. I'm moving chronologically through the years and I've already posted two albums. Here's the third.

(Note that I'm not using the full name of this artist due to concerns about copyright issues.) 

For the first two albums I've posted, the vast majority of cover songs were 1960s rock and soul hits. With this album, P*tty branches out some more. He still is rooted in the 1960s, but he does a few country songs, two Bob Dylan songs, a song associated with Elvis Presley ("Milk Cow Blues"), and songs from the 1980s by the Clash and Van Morrison.

The sound quality is variable. Only three of the 15 songs are officially released. Of the remainder, many of them come from audience bootlegs instead of soundboard bootlegs. Happily, the vast majority of the time, I felt the sound quality was good enough for inclusion. However, three of the songs sounded iffy enough for them to be included only as bonus tracks.

This is probably the roughest sounding out of all of the albums in this series. But if you're a P*tty fan, I think you'll want to get all these albums, including this one.

This album is 42 minutes long, not including the bonus tracks.

I'm not including the track list due to copyright issues. But you can find it in the mp3 download file.

For the cover art, I used a concert poster from 1989. I had to do some drastic cropping to get the rectangular artwork into a square shape.
