What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?

For me, that song is a live version of "Chest Fever" by Humble Pie. My guess is that it's a vinyl bootleg that is virtually impossible to find. So, if anyone knows anything about this recording, please provide some details. In the meantime, maybe one of us knows something about a rare song and/or recording that some of you are looking for.

@ozzy , check out the website for Culture Factory Records. Around 10 years ago they released remastered CD's of the first 4 Rod Stewart solo albums. I have all 4 of them and they sound very good (96 Kz - 24 bit). An extra bonus is that they use a cardboard sleeve to recreate the look and feel of the original vinyl album cover. Some of the other artists included in this series of remastered CD's include Rare Earth, Wishbone Ash and Walter Egan ("Not Shy").

The Walter Egan album comes from the same time period as "Bombs Away Dream Babies" by John Stewart (previously mentioned in this thread by Rocky Santoro), where it seems everything that Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks touched turned to "gold."

I'd love to get my hands on Billy Joel's live cover of Take This Job And Shove It.

I found a copy of Bubble Puppy "Wheels Go Round" on One Big Guitar, cat # OBGLP 9004 from a German seller. Hot Smoke And Sassafras opens side 2. It was part of a larger order for me, so was able to spread the cost. Bubble Puppy appears on some compilations from the 60's Austin scene, like Live At The Continental Club on Profile Records, PRO-1214. Hot Smoke And Sassafras opens side 2, recorded live at The Continental Club back in the day. Good luck

So, I do have an Ultra Disc of Every Picture Tells A Story, that I haven’t played in a few years since downloads became so convenient. I just took it out and it does sound way better than the Quboz 24-192hz. download.

So, there are better recordings of this album.

@ozzy Read your post which prompted me to dig out my long-unplayed Ultradisk of this Rod Stewart masterpiece. Will play tonight!

Thanks for the inspiration.
