A huge debt to Vintage Vinyl News for posting the track lists of the upcoming batch of Setlist compilations from Legacy Recordings.
If you haven't been following these titles, Sony's reissue label is releasing 11 budget-oriented live compilations (basically a live counterpart to their successful and sometimes collector-worthy Playlist series) on July 13. Happily, VVN's post (the information of which comes from Legacy itself) shows the discs seem rather forthcoming about recording information - and a few of the discs boast some rare or unreleased content!
Hit the jump to check everything out.Setlist: The Very Best of Alabama Live gets things off to a great start, with seven previously unreleased tracks (all sourced from the folks at Wolfgang's Vault, interestingly enough). The rest derive from Alabama's other two live LPs, Alabama Live (1988) and Gonna Have a Party...Live (1993).

Setlist: The Very Best of Cheap Trick Live has no new tracks, probably since there are so many live albums to draw from.

I should have known they would just trot out stuff that was already issued by Cheap Trick. Too much to hope for that this was anything more than a "cheap trick"!
