The 1972 live album, augmented with 4 bonus tracks, including 'Boppin' The Blues' and 'Slippin' and Slidin'. One of the most enduring Aussie hits of the Seventies is Blackfeather's September 1972 Number One single: 'Boppin' The Blues'. Blackfeather's timeless hit was also the name of their second album. However, the LP was a actually hastily recorded live album, made to cash in on their recent hit - and for the many people who bought the LP, most were disappointed that the album version of 'Boppin The Blues' was not the same one that had dominated the charts (having said that, the album is actually a fine representation of Blackfeather MK2, with the unusual line-up of bass, drums, vocals & upright piano). Aztec have reciified that! Not only does the remastering (by Gil Matthews) improve on the original album's hollow sound the original hit single version of 'Boppin'...' and the excellent follow up 'Slippin And Slidin' have added, as bonus tracks.
