Tickle Me (FTD)
TICKLE ME
Belive or not, FTD has now released a version of the "Tickle Me" album. It is done in the same manner as the rest of the soundtrack albums.

This must be done for the sake of completeness, I assume. There are nothing of interest content wise. The only interesting piece from this movie is the soundtrack version of 'I Feel That I've Known You Forever', which is not included...

Big Boss Man
BIG BOSS MAN
Big Boss Man contains a soundboard recording from March 28, 1975. Unfortunately FTD has wrongly dated it to come from the dinner show two days later.

We have already heard three songs from this concert on the Las Vegas box. The soundboard is almost complete. In addition several bonus tracks from other March concerts have been added.
