Just discovered Streetlight Manifesto's acoustic side, It's AMAZING.
The album is the acoustic version of "The Hand that Thieves" by the same group under the name Toh Kay. Their label disallowed the release of the acoustic version, so it ended up being "leaked".
Compare, the track "If Only For Memories" From the above album, to THIS one, the "normal version" which I find equally impressive.
Good choice! Streetlight Manifesto's drama with Victory Records has kept me from buying the non-acoustic version of the album, but I "found" the acoustic version online after members of the band actively encouraged sharing it for free.
Do you have a favorite Streetlight Manifesto album?
I recently sold 188 records - this was one of the vinyl in the pack that i sold off. I sold it to a friend though who lives down the street. So i still get to hear them all the time. I had a lot of really good records in there. Lots of funk and soul - jazz rock fusion. The one i regret the most is the stuff album. A very rare record. You cant even download it. I might ask for it back. I was listeing to it today through some really nice vintage electro stats ¬
Here is a pick of the rig ¬ Also listened to a lot of Sam Cooke today which sounded amazing on those.
