Up for grab is the "Mercury Blues" CD by The Shiva Burlesque. Released in 2003 by Ripple Effect Records, Made In USA. Adding new bassist and future Grant Lee Buffalo member/producer Paul Kimble and cellist Greg Adamson to the group brought a new, somewhat more "organic" and sometimes hard driving sound to the mix. This one is somewhat closer in mood and tone to the first two Grant Lee Buffalo releases and includes the song "Cherry Orchard" with Grant Lee Phillips singing which features just the three future members of that group, also Grant sings a "duet" on the song "Chester the Chimp." This was recorded in a much better room than the first record, the drums especially, sound great with much more varied and professional production. The remastering is excellent which blows away the sound of my original CD. The songs are more wide ranging than on their debut record with the highlights being "Sick Friend", "Do the Pony", "Peace" "Sparrow's Song" and the spy/punk music flavored "Meet Jack Ruby" (you could get shot, shot!) being some of the best, although I don't think there is a weak song on this very good record. There is a hidden track that is a short, funny Beach Boys send up that is quite a gas.

CD is in Mint Condition. There is a sticker residue on the digipak and a small tear which is hardly noticeable on the back portion. I only sell Original / Legit CD! No Copy or CDR!!! Check out my other items for sale and buy with confidence.
