New 77's & Lost Dogs release info
Lo-Fidelity is proud to announce new releases in time for the Christmas holiday. All the info can be found in this message, and by tomorrow, Nov.30, 2007, all the sites will be ready to take your orders!
The 77's "99"
The 77's & Lo-Fidelity Records present: The 77's, "99".
Recorded in St. Louis MO. by Steve Griffith (Vector) for the 1999 "EP" release, this live CD features a rare glimpse at this great band at the peak of the tour. (The band for this tour was Mike Roe, Mark Harmon, Bruce Spencer, and Scott Reams.) Mike had this to say about the recording:
"When Lo-Fidelity approached us about releasing a live album from our last tour (in 1999) to create a latter-day bookend to our much revered (and long out of print) live album from 1988 called "88", I was dubious. "Well, that's mostly gonna be a crappy album. I have complete recordings of most of the shows on that tour and I don't recall hearing anything I'd want to release!" The keyword here is "most", because when Lo-Fi sent me a copy of this wonderful concert from old pal Brian Quincy-Newcomb's Christ Church basement in St. Louis, MO, I was surprised at not only how good it was, but also by the song selection. I had totally forgotten that we'd even played some of these songs in concert, and it was a delight to hear them again. This album does indeed make a nice bookend to our old "88" album, not only because of the title and identical cover concept, but also because it is remarkably similar in its energy. It's proof positive that 1990's version of the band had a dynamic adventurous spirit that gave us a willingness to stretch out and expand our material in the same kinds of ways that the old-time original 77's from the 80's did. I highly recommend it to both our longtime hardcore fans and to any friends we picked up along the way in the 1990's and later. It's surprisingly fresh sounding even though it's been under wraps for eight years. What else can I say -- it rocks. Hard." - Mike Roe

For years,The Lost Dogs have wanted to release an entire Christmas album especially for our fans. Finally, we present to you "We Like To Have Christmas", a Yuletide album for the entire family. This light-hearted collection of modern holiday tunes and traditional carols is fashioned after the old cornball Christmas record albums our parents bought on the cheap in places like grocery stores and discount department CD bins. We sincerely hope that it will bring you and your family much joy this holiday season as well as in all the Christmases to come. It Includes several tracks originally featured on Terry Taylor's "Songs For The Day After Christmas", now re-imagined and re-recorded by the Lost Dogs, a couple "long out of print" specials, and surprise cameo appearances from Gene Eugene, Riki Michelle, Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor and others.

Like the original, the footage is presented in both black & white and color and features the 6 songs left off of the original DVD as well as previously unreleased Lost Dogs interview and Chicago footage.
- Please note, this DVD is NOT a re-release of the original DVD...this is entirely new music and footage!! -
...Via Chicago... (All We Left Unsaid) has been edited in similar fashion as the original, making for both a touching and entertaining DVD release. As with the original, we are happy to offer a bonus audio CD of the featured songs on the DVD.
"This DVD is a very sweet companion to our wonderful `Via Chicago' DVD from a few years back. Unlike many typical sequels released as an afterthought in the wake of a successful hit, this newly discovered material from the same Chicago concert is rich in song and banter from one of our most memorable tours, bringing a smile to my face with every viewing. No Lost Dogs fan should be without it!"
—Mike Roe
"A beautiful follow-up to the original `Via Chicago'. Every Lost Dogs fan should own this DVD."
—Derri Daugherty
"I must say that I was unexpectedly charmed and delighted by the `all we left unsaid' DVD. Until late last year I didn't even know there was additional footage from the Chicago show, so it was a real surprise to discover that the performances were immensely enjoyable and in some ways surpass the stuff on the first disc. What I really loved, however, were the interviews—they're relaxed, funny and introspective. But above all I think the respect and love we have for one another peeks through, and I must admit I got a little teary-eyed watching it. It would be a shame if the fans miss this one because it really is a little gem."
—Terry Taylor
The DVD features the following:
5.1 surround sound
Format: NTSC/Region Free
