first avenue 35th anniversary cd is available [f-a]
"recordings were chosen to emphasize the club's support of both local and national acts and its unparalleled reputation as minneapolis’ premier nightclub." recordings were also apparently chosen to emphasize the club's inability to find anything older than 1999 in their archives, as 11 of the 16 songs are fewer than 6 years old. good idea, bad execution. (full disclosure: i'll probably still buy it.)
