BEGGARS ST INN - CD MONEY FOR THE DEAD

Popis - MONEY FOR THE DEAD:
This is Beggars Street Inn first Album (2001) recorded by the original Members Bert Katzianer, Alan Hutcheson and Fritz Gregory. Alan died during the sessions, in fact the Tracks 'Leaving' and 'Grooving you' were recorded only a few days before his tragic death. It took almost 4 Years to finish the Album. Recorded in and around Boston MA, mostly by Chris Lannon and Drew Townson. Challanges, no compomise were made, as Analog Studios have been dying like Flys, we were told to start mixing digital, so we did, spent a fortune and finished the Mixes again on 2 inch Tapes. Also the Mastering has been done Analog. The result sounds and feels fresh and raw until this day. When Alan died some Tracks had no Chorus, so we were lucky that Chris´ wife Liz helped us out and the result was mind blowing. The Picture inside of the Booklet shows us in an oldtime Booth in New Orleans where we went, to hang out and write songs. There are only 2 pictures existing with all 3 of us and this is one of them. To explain how crazy we were, was the story that everyone of us three went to New Orleans by different airplains to make sure if something happens, at least one or two will make it and the band will survive! Legendary times indeed. This is a Labour of Love to the Man and to Rock'n'Roll. Enjoy it. Bert Katzianer
