The amazingly prolific, endlessly energetic Randy California sure left us a whole lot to still discover. Joined by a booklet with a new essay and period photos, these 6 CDs gather 1979–83 studio and live recordings by the Randy California Band plus live performances by Spirit. Spirit archivist Mick Skidmore compiled the original "The Euro-American Years" box in 2006, but it quickly sold out. Two additional CDs of unissued material have been added for this remastered celebration of this very industrious period for Randy and Spirit. The Randy California Band’s "California Man," "Magic Wand," "Toy Guns," "Easy Love," "Man at War," "Hand Guns" and "Breakout" join live cuts (1979 in Scotland: "Move On Up," "Rebel’s Flight," 1982 at the Reading Festival: "Second Child," "Killer Weed," "Nature’s Way," 1982 at the Glastonbury Festival: "Lisa," "Rebel on Attack," "Don’t Bother Me") plus dozens of live Spirit performances from ’80 and ’81, many previously unreleased: "1984," "Hey Joe," "Hungry Driver," "Animal Zoo," "Mr. Skin," "I Got a Line on You," "Like a Rolling Stone" and more!
