As recently discussed at the @Infectious Groove Vinyl channel on YouTube ( ), Tesla fans can’t understand why “Five Man Acoustical Jam”, a terrific live acoustic album released without the power of the MTV brand during the MTV Unplugged infancy, hasn’t been reissued on vinyl as of 2021. As a big fan of this album, I’d like to get a copy that sounds better than my original Colombian pressing, but the currently available European vinyl copies from 1990 command insanely high prices (according to Discogs, it seems that the album was only released on CD and cassette in the US). This album definitely deserves a proper reissue on vinyl.

In the meantime, here’s “Love Song” taken from my original Colombian pressing of “Five Jam Acoustical Jam”, released in 1991. Recorded live at The Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia on July 2, 1990.
