The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

This top-selling double live album demonstrates what a phenomenal catalog of songs Skynyrd accumulated. As a travelin’ band, Lynyrd Skynyrd made their fame and fortune by being good in concert, so it made sense that they released a double-live, entitled One More from the Road, in 1976, months after the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. That might have been rather quick for a live album — only three years separated this record from the group’s debut — but it was enthusiastically embraced, entering the Top Ten (it would become one of their best-selling albums, as well). It’s easy to see why it was welcomed, since this album demonstrates what a phenomenal catalog of songs Skynyrd accumulated. Street Survivors, which appeared the following year, added “That Smell” and “You Got That Right” to the canon, but this pretty much has everything else, sometimes extended into jams as long as those of the Allmans, but always much rawer, nearly dangerous. The consistency of Skynyrd’s work falls into relief, and they clearly tower above their peers based on what’s here… it’s damn hard to take this album off after it starts.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the greatest southern rock band in the world & this album contains the best Skynyrd Live recordings ever -- Essential!! The original classic album, featuring over 80 minutes of the best sounding Skynyrd Live recordings ever! Lynyrd Skynyrd was the greatest southern rock band in the world, until that fateful day on 20th October, 1977. Singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines perished (along with Cassie Gaines, manager Dean Kilpatrick and two pilots) when their rented tour plane plane ran out of fuel and crashed into a swamp in Gillsburg, Missouri. While there is still a Skynyrd band around today (fronted by Ronnie's younger brother, Johnny) -- this is the real McCoy. 'One More From the Road' contains the ultimate live recordings of their best songs, including the rock anthems "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". It's clearly evident by the strong performances on these two records that this is an excellent band in their prime!
