Wham - Previously Unreleased Live Recording Stevie Ray Vaughan's 1983 debut album, Texas Flood, was a phenomenal success, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. The record plays like a dynamite club show, filled with crowd-pleasing originals and covers, all performed with unbridled enthusiasm. Certified Gold on August 13, 1990; certified Platinum on January 22, 1992. Pure Pleasure knocks this album right out of the park! Spread lovingly over 2 full LPs, Texas Flood with Bonus Tracks has never sounded this good ever! Stevie Ray is missed by all of us!
