Hi All , Thanks for the nice comments . Al Ditrich mentioned this post to me . My name is Michael Vidale , I produced this album with help from Ralph Cooper in 1975 in Sydney , Australia but Al and I would like to know who is selling "Snakes Alive" because we never authorised it . Can someone tell us ? In 2000 I spoke with a music store in New Jersey USA that was selling it ... they sourced it from Poorboy Records in Japan ... but how did Poorboy Records get our album ? who know ?
Email me stjam@helloworld.com
Hello, I was just writting to A thank you e-email to Al Ditrich, and i noticed that comment. The album i sent to the this site is one of my friend's friend vinyl rip. I have no idea about that it was selling. But unfortunately this is a common problem and there are many unathorized reissues around.
In my opinion this album is a real hidden treasure, and needs to be reissued with a good remastering.
here is one of the most respected reissue wishlist in the net for many prog/fusion lovers:

and "snakes alive" also mentioned in this list.hope to see an athorized reissue of this album one day.
We are very happy that you find our tiny home. Regards & All the Best :)
Beautiful LP ! What a perl ! Thanks for sharing that forgotten album.
Thanks to Al Ditrich for his comment and detailed album line-up.
Hi from Australia. The Snakes Alive album was a private press album from a Sydney band,released in 1974 on EMI, with a plain blue label. There was no sleeve made up at the time. The album consists of several long Jazz/rock tracks with a high quality of musicianship. In some places the album is a bit like the Lizard album (also from Sydney Australia) though much more rarer. A true lost gem
Hi,
Any chances for reposting of this lost treasure? It's not available anywhere else and the RS link is gone.
