Phalanx "Aka" George Adams & James Blood Ulmer Quartet - Live In Bremen 1986

While I was checking the discography of Phalanx in preparation of this post I was surprised to learn that obviously this concert have been partially published by James « Blood » Ulmer himself on his own label: American Revelation Music Inc. The only reference about this can be found on discogs:

https://www.discogs.com/fr/Phalanx-Phalanx-Live/release/7629031

But there is no copy for sale on discogs and I searched on the others most famous places where music can be bought and this cd doesn’t even appears. To have searched years ago some references of American Revelation Music, I know that this label have no distribution except by James « Blod » himself, also everything he publish is in a very limited numbers. So if this cd have existed it might be gone for good and very hard to find now. This is the first reason why I have decided to do this post, the second reason is the fact that on the cd, only a part of the concert have been published and the order of the tracks has been changed, here we have the full concert with the correct track order.

 01. Rough

02. Black Rock

03. House People

04. Recess

05. Where Did All The Girls go?

06. A Night Out

07. More Blood

08. Upside Down

09. I Belong In The USA

10. Nothing To Say

11. Pass Time

12. Love And Two Faces

13. Drum Solo

14. Church

15. Funky Lover

-James « Blood » Ulmer: guitar & vocals

-George Adams: tenor sax & vocals

-Amin Ali: electric bass

-Grant Calvin Weston: drums

Recorded live for radio Bremen on February 26, 1986 

This is the first version of Phalanx, the second one who recorded for DIW have seen Amin Ali replaced by Sirone and G. Calvin Weston by Rashied Ali.
