Notes: Probably recorded on 1/4/77 just as Takes Tokyo. I don´t have access to my record player at the moment. For some reason it says 1980 on the frontcover which is obviously wrong. One thing you learn is that bootlegs do not always refer to what it really is.

D3.Black diamond
Notes: Again a bootleg with a number of variations of the covers and vinyls. Just as with Destroys Anaheim it exists a extremely difficult edition on colored vinyl.
The purple color are available in different styles, a bit darker and a bit brighter. This is just like Fried Alive own theory about what you think is different,
but of course it differs slightly. Other colors are described as Red, Grey and Light Pink.
The limited colored editions were only released in 100 copies Just like Destroys Anaheim it has a printed stamp on the back cover saying:
"Colored vinyl, only 100 numbered copies" (see picture).
Ruthless Rhymes are among the labels that you can encount more frequently than others in terms of the Regulars release, otherwise it may be white.
The colored editions, I have only seen with the GLC labels.
Just as with Destroys Anaheim Part 2 and First Kiss in Long Island there also exists another version with A4 insert paper. I owned a opened copy a few years ago
with the Canyon labels.
The recordings from L.A Forum are taken from more than one performance. Side four on disc two are taken from Tokyo Budokan Hall performance 1/4-77.
Title: Kiss My Axe (KMA-102 A/B)
Labels: GLC (Great Live Concerts, Canyon Records (A-side, B-Side), White label & Yellow label

Released: 70´s
Recorded: Los Angeles Forum, California, Usa 25/8-77

Comment: Outtakes from the Los Angeles Forum show 25/8-1977.
Tracklist:
A1.I stole your love

A5.Love gun
A6.Hooligan
B1.Makin´ love
B2.Christine sixteen
B3.Shock me
B4.Guitar Solo
B5.I want you
B6.Calling Dr. love
Notes: One thing worth mentioning. Kiss my axe was produced in two different versions of the cover, a more sharp photo and one with less sharpness, like a photocopy. The reason may lie in what Ken Douglas later did, was to produce exact copies from Dub's original stampers with covers that did not keep the same quality. Read Bootleg Labels section.
Examples. Crisp picture insert (Image 1, Image 2) "Presumed first issue", Photocopy insert (Image 1, Image 2) "Presumed 2nd issue".

A5.Love gun
A6.Hooligan
B1.Makin´ love

B4.Guitar Solo
B5.I want you
B6.Calling Dr. love
Notes: I am still asking myself of what is sensible to have a re-release of (War of worlds) that is hardly noticed at all on the market,
I think perhaps the most unseen release together with "Unnecessery Evil".
I have a friend who owns a copy of "War of the Worlds", but nothing at this stage that we can prove to be a so-called re-release.
The vinyl is identical to Kiss my axe, with the same matrix numbers.
The "un-confirmed" copy is located under the category "Bootlegs with question marks?" until we know more.
