Leslie West music

Electric Ladyland Studios 1975

As I really believe that Leslie West is one of the very best Rock Guitar Slingers to ever come out of the USA, this Two CD Set of Leslie in the studio {with a small audience} and live on stage in Detroit while on Tour promoting the "Great Fatsby" LP, was made to order for me.
