I have the first one with Carl Palmer. I used to have one called Death Walks Behind You that I liked a lot. I wish I still had it.

i stumbled across the first album once - but i have all the songs on it anyway.

made in england is pretty good too - and there is an Atomic Rooster dvd which is a 30 minute dutch studio concert i think - thats damn good for its time 8)

dont be too hard on people "just discovering" bands. BTW.

i "just discovered" Rory Gallagher a couple of years ago and i was very chagrined to discover he was dead :shock:

I couldn't agree more. I hope the day never comes when I've "discovered" everything that's out there, even when it's 30 - 40 years old.

Ive got Irish Tour 1974 by Gallagher, and Its one of my favourites. There's also a film that goes with it of several irish concerts that is also fantastic.
