Mountain Animal Trainer and Toad Auld Lang Syne - Mountain, Burns, Robert [2]
Album Type: Import rick (4 out of 5 stars) "Good live stuff! Material is from the first three Mountain albums, sounds like it was recorded right off the soundboard, well balanced sound (in stereo). Steve Knights' keyboard playing is heard on most of the recording but could be more pronounced...a must for any real Mountain fan..."Play it Loud!"" 101 reasons to buy this disc... and one not to... running_man (4 out of 5 stars) "This Mountain 'Millenium Collection' features 101 minutes of superb live recordings from the band circa-1970 (more on that later...), but unfortunately it appears to be a bootleg release. The tell-tale signs that this is less than an 'Official Bootleg' (which Leslie West and his minions have frequently released) are all over this one... beginning with the misspelling of the word 'millennium' on the cover, and Felix Pappalardi's name in the liner notes, and continuing through the absence of songwriting credits, the unsigned liner notes, and the fact that the identified distributor, 'The International Music Company AG' exists, but only dabbles in classical releases.
