JustDave's Notes:
- As always a big Thank You to Draftervoi, Sam Elliot's Mustache & avnut for help & inspiration

Editing Notes:
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials, and voiceovers.
- All editing done in 24bit/96khz
- Declicked manualy and some noise reduction used depending on what best served the situation.
- A 60k high pass filter was run to reduce some needle noise

About The Show:
- The host never identifies himself during the program, it doesn't happen often.
- The Twisted Sister portion of the show is the famous MTV Concert from The Orange Pavlion, San Bernadino California, May 19, 1984.
- Twisted Sister included a free DVD of The MTV Concert in full with the Double CD 25th Anniversary Edition of Stay Hungry. The DVD was only available at Independent Record Stores. The DVD was given away for free to anyone who bought the 25th Anniversary Stay Hungry Double CD.
- The Stevie Ray Vaughan portion of the show had a bit of a mystery about it's date. It has been bootlegged a lot with the wrong date and location.
- Commonly dated as The Country Club, Reseda, California October 26, 1983, because Westwood One's host says that is the location. This fact however is wrong. Stevie Ray Vaughan was on the East Coast of America opening for The Moody Blues at that time.
- Westwood One, King Biscuit and the rest do make mistakes when it comes to the date and location of shows
- Newspaper articles found by Draftervoi and contained in the News Coverage folder, show the concert took place at The Hollywood Palace, Hollywood, California, August 22, 1983.
- The cue sheet track listing for Stevie Ray Vaughan is so wrong, it is almost laughable.

Other Notes:
- This was one of the most expensive Pre-FM record sets I have purchased to date. I thought this was due to Stevie Ray Vaughan being one of the artists. Actually it's due to the inclusion of Twisted Sister. Not a lot of Heavy Metal were on the original Westwood One programs. This makes them more "valuable" to collectors so more expensive when sold. Stevie Ray Vaughan may have played a small role in the price of the show, Twisted Sister were the main cause.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #1

This compilation is made up of 2  King Biscuit Flower Hour performances from Twisted Sister's days on top of the Heavy Metal World. Twisted Sister started off as a more Glam Rock band, then Dee Snider joined bringing a heavy Alice Cooper influence to the song writing. Twisted Sister soon gained popularity as the New Wave w Of British Heavy Metal was causing stirs in the underground. Twisted Sister's harder edge and non pretty boy image separated them from the rising Hair/Glam Metal scene, making them more popular with the "True Metal" crowd. The band broke up after taking a more commercial turn after pressure from their record label, but reunited in the 2000's. We lost A.J. Pero March 20, 2015 at the age of 55 from a heart attack. Twisted Sister have disbanded after a farewell tour dubbed "40 And Fuck It", Dee Snyder is working on several solo projects. The band is sited as an influence by numerous Metal Artists of all genres.

A nice recording and a great performance from Twisted Sister while on tour for their major label debut, You Can't Stop Rock And Roll. Formed in Long Island New York as Silver Star, the band was meant to be the Long Island answer to the New York Dolls. Jay Jay French or Johnny Heartbreaker as he was known then, pushed for a name change and the band became Twisted Sister. Many line up changes later and Danny "Dee" Snyder would come aboard and a move towards a heavy metal direction started. Twisted Sister came from the underground in a time when glam wasn't a bad word in metal. A fan of Anvil or Raven could also be a fan of Hanoi Rocks or Motley Crue. Twisted Sister was accepted due to the heaviness of the music, despite the horror transvestite image. The Glam tag didn't become a bad word until the hair spray and eyeliner content became more than the musical content. A good example would be say Britney Fox. Twisted Sister was a major metal success story killed by their own labels stupidity. When Dee Snyder recorded a solo album the label insisted that it be put out as a Twisted Sister album. Dee was the only member to actually play on the Love Is For Suckers album but the label credited all the members and slapped the Twisted name on it. Fans hated the ballads and drum machines and the band folded on tour due to internal fighting.
