Oh, come ON.Sound quality?How can somebody listen to a set as intense and raw and brutally beautiful as this and worry about SOUND QUALITY? Kids, the Gun Club were never meant to seep out of $1000 Bose "home entertainment center" speakers, and if you haven't figured that out yet, then you're beyond hope anyway. The songs on the second disc sound like dirty home recordings because they ARE dirty home recordings, and frankly I'm just thrilled to be able to hear them. Disc One, it's true, is hardly a multi-m…
Sound quality?How can somebody listen to a set as intense and raw and brutally beautiful as this and worry about SOUND QUALITY? Kids, the Gun Club were never meant to seep out of $1000 Bose "home entertainment center" speakers, and if you haven't figured that out yet, then you're beyond hope anyway. The songs on the second disc sound like dirty home recordings because they ARE dirty home recordings, and frankly I'm just thrilled to be able to hear them. Disc One, it's true, is hardly a multi-million dollar, post produced within an inch of its life, Frampton Comes Alive-type affair...and thank god for that. The fidelity ain't nearly as bad as Metallic KO either, and if that record can become an essential part of Iggy's canon I don't see why this one can't become a must-have in Jeffrey Lee's. Because this is the bottom line, people: the performances on this record absolutely scorch. Nobody with red blood, a heartbeat and a love for authentic rock'n'blues should be able to listen to the 1982 live versions of "For the Love of Ivy", "Preachin' the Blues" and "Fire Spirit" and think, "gee, this mix is a little trebly." This is intense, fantastic stuff. Admittedly not as essential a purchase as the first three studio albums...but close enough. Ignore the whining, do yourself a favor and listen to this record. You won't regret it.

Buy Fire of LoveThis is one of those CDs with the home recording, bad tracks and live songs. First of the home records sound like they where taped on a dirty tape recorder. The studio tracks are not on any real album cause they sound awful. Last lets face it Gun Club was one of the greatest bands to ever exist but they suck live. Every time I say them JLP was drunk and made no sense. They are great to watch live but you can not capture that feeling with a poor recording. This is great if you want to hear outtak…

Every time I say them JLP was drunk and made no sense. They are great to watch live but you can not capture that feeling with a poor recording. This is great if you want to hear outtakes and stuff. I gave it 2 stars because it has some historical value. If you really want to hear a great Gun Club album by Fire of Love.
