SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND Hot City - The Unreleased 1974 Album (2009 UK 9-track digitally remastered CD album - In early 1974, the SAHB were planning to record their upcoming third album. The band had been constantly touring and were well rehearsed when, in late Janauary, they went into Advision studios in London with legendary US producer Shel Talmy to record their biggest album to date. By April, the sessions were finished and the album was mixed. However, after completion the bandand management had some reservations about the overall sound and amazingly they decided to scrap the entire album. Shel Talmy then returned to Los Angeles with his tapes. Most of the song titles eventually showed up on the official album 'The Impossible Dream' later that year with a different producer on board and the songs changed dramatically. You can now hear how the album sounded with the original versions of these songs, and SAHB fans will be totally surprised and amazed at the different styles, delivery and lyric arrangements of well known SAHB songs such as 'Vambo' & 'Man In The Jar'. There is a previously unreleased song 'Ace In The Hole' which has not been heard even by the band since those sessions in 1974!
