Anyone who is familiar with Cosmic Dealer or World In Sound Records, Germany will know that this is an absolute killer release. Consisting of 9 studio recordings, 3 of which are included on "Crystallization" and 4 live tracks from a Dutch television appearance in 1971, this is the companion to the new, 21 January 2013, release of a deluxe 2 cd edition of "Crystallization" on Pseudonym Records, Netherlands. "Child of Tomorrow" is included on the 1993 reissue of "Crystallization" as well as the upcoming 2013 2 cd deluxe edition of the same title. "Sinners Confession" and "You're So Good" are duplicated as well, but that still leaves 10 tracks only available on this release. The sound quality is up to World In Sounds usual standards too! Wolf never puts out an inferior product. The disc is pricy, so look around, check Amazon.co.uk and other suppliers to get the best deal you can, but don't miss out on this incredible piece, available on cd or LP + Live EP. You can't go wrong either way. The 4 live tracks with total run time of about 24 minutes are absolutely essential. Cosmic Dealer have reunited and are playing gigs as I write this review. Ad Vos and Angelo Santoro have been members throughout and vocalist Frans Poots is with the reunited band as well. It is not a case of one member getting together with four or five new people and calling themselves Cosmic Dealer! No, this is a truly reunited Cosmic Dealer playing their classic songs and sounding just as good in 2013 as they did in 1971 when they recorded Crystallization. The live recordings here are from 1971, while the studio tracks are mostly from 1973 although 1 is from 1971. The band has a Facebook page and are very open to interacting with fans and fellow musicians. No huge egos here. Just huge musical talent. This disc has a run time of 67 minutes and includes a 12 page booklet. The 2 cd "Crystallization" has liner notes by Ugly Things owner/publisher Mike Stax, the notes here are by World In Sound owner Wolfgang and the booklet is full of gorgeous photos and has full track annotations. Like all World In Sound releases this is a limited edition release, so grab it now or forever live with regret.
