Comment

ELF is:

Ronnie James Dio - vocals / bass
Gary Driscoll - Drums / Percussion
Dave "Rock" Feinstein - Guitar
Mickey Lee Soule - Keyboards


DATE : Late January or early February 1972 for the live tracks, unknown for the demos (most likely 1972).

VENUE : The Bank, Cortland, USA for the live tracks, unknown for the demos.

This was recorded in early 1972, shortly after the band dropped the name "The Elves" and became "Elf", and not long before recording the first album. The sound quality is amazing, a lot of covers as well as unreleased material, and what's more : Ronnie James Dio covering "War Pigs" more than 7 years before joining Back Sabbath!

Notes: Before becoming Elf, Ronnie James Dio and his bandmates were known as Elves - remarkably good sound quality for a recording of this age by a no-name band - loads of covers during the live set including, ironically, War Pigs - 128 Kbps
