Silver Ginger 5 - Live at The Electrical Ballroom (12-11-01) (2001)

After a recommendation by the great Ginger himself, I've bought a couple of bootlegs from http://wildheartsbootlegs.freehostia.com/wildheartsbootlegs.html . The first is a live with Silver Ginger 5. This is a sorely missed group, which included both Ginger and Conny Bloom (of Electric Boys and Hanoi Rocks). The group is one of the great hidden gems of rock music. Unfortunately, they only released one record, "Black Leather Mojo", but that one is a true masterpiece. Since the group doesn't exist anymore (or are at least resting) the only way getting "new" music from them are by buying bootlegs. The noise on the record isn't very good but acceptable for a bootleg and includes the best tracks from "Black Leather Mojo", Ginger's solo-records, the Wildhearts and Conny Blom's solo records. A nice addition to any Wildhearts collection!

Rating: 6/10
