Shakin’ Street – Scarlet: The Old Waldorf August 1979 CD

1979 live album from hard rock band that featured female singer Fabienne Shine & Ross “The Boss” Friedman (The Dicattors, Manowar) on lead guitar

In 1975, alongside guitarist Eric Lévi, she formed a group in Paris that eventually became known as Shakin’ Street. After releasing the debut album Vampire Rock on CBS Records in 1978, Shakin’ Street relocated to San Francisco to cut a follow-up LP. Shine asked Sandy Pearlman to produce, impressed by the hard, metallic sound he routinely captured for Blue Öyster Cult.

In 1980, Shakin’ Street embarked on “The Black and Blue Tour” as openers for the Ronnie James Dio lineup of Black Sabbath, alongside Blue Öyster Cult. Scarlet: The Old Waldorf, 1979 was recorded during the same period as the Automatt sessions for 1980’s Shakin’ Street LP. The group was opening for the Jim Carroll Band and the show was captured by KALX radio deejay and producer Terry Hammer.

The title track, “Scarlet” was never previously released anywhere, fans loved it when performed live during the 1979 American tour with Sandy Perlman. This release is extremely special for fans of Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Joan Jett and The Plasmatics.
