  Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivors (Deluxe Edition) - Geffen/MCA/Universal Records - CD
The tragedy that surrounds Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Street Survivors was devastating to the band, occurring just as they were beginning to support the release of this album in 1977.
For this new 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Street Survivors, the once controversial cover has been restored to reflect the originality of the album, a respectful tribute of sorts to the band and their creativity.
On this newly released version of Street Survivors, the two-disc set offers not only a clarifying brand new remaster version of the original album (Disc One), but also the unused Criterion sessions recordings of the album, noted for the fact that those recordings were the first creations of songs that you’re completely familiar with.

Street Survivors, Lynyrd Skynyrd's fifth album, was the last album before the 1977 plane crash that claimed guitarist Steve Gaines and lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant.
The album, obviously, was not intended to be their swan song, but a new beginning for a band that had become a bit repetitive.
Street Survivors is a picture of Skynyrd as they were in 1977, and, perhaps, a glimpse at what could have been.

 Lynyrd Skynyrd : Street Survivors - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Street Survivors appeared in stores just days before Lynyrd Skynyrd's touring plane crashed, tragically killing many members of the band, including lead singer and songwriter Ronnie Van Zant.
Consequently, it's hard to see Street Survivors outside of the tragedy, especially since the best-known song here, "That Smell," reeks of death and foreboding.
If the band had lived, however, Street Survivors would have been seen as an unqualified triumph, a record that firmly re-established Skynyrd's status as the great Southern rock band.

 Album Rock - Street Survivors [Expanded Edition] Lynyrd Skynyrd / CD / 2001
A closer examination reveals that Street Survivors actually bears very little in the way of filler material, considering the cut-and-paste methodology used to complete the disc.
Although a majority of the bonus tracks were issued on subsequent compilations, here they are given both historical perspective as well as presented in a way that highlights the improvements and directions that the band was attempting to steer the music into.
On October 20, 1977, three days after the release of Street Survivors, Ronnie Van Zant (vocals) and Steve Gaines (guitar) were killed when the chartered aircraft the band was using ran out of fuel near Gillsburg, MS.

Sadly, STREET SURVIVORS would prove to be the final Lynryd Skynyrd album of the Ronnie Van Zant-era.
Only three days after this, the band's fifth studio album (sixth overall) was released in 1977, the band boarded the tragic plane flight that killed singer Ronnie Van Zant and new members guitarist Steve Gaines and background vocalist Cassie Gaines.
The fact that STREET SURVIVORS was one of Skynyrd's best albums only intensified the tragedy--it appeared as though the band was peaking artistically.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Street Survivors
Gaines' two songs (and two co-writing contributions) were the kick in the ass that began shifting Lynyrd Skynyrd from a Southern boogie band to a group that could be appreciated at all levels by all sorts of fans.
Possibly one of the most surprising and most beautiful moments on Street Survivors is "One More Time," a song which began to break Lynyrd Skynyrd out of the boogie band classification.
This was a band that was at the top of their career when the unthinkable happened; one is left to wonder what new plateaus they would have reached had they been given the chance to follow Street Survivors up.

 8-Track of the Moment: Lynyrd Skynyrd "Street Survivors"   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This particular tape -- Street Survivors -- is one of those interesting collector's items with a morbid tale behind it.
Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister, Cassie, a backup singer, died in the private plane that crashed while carrying the band between shows in Greenville, SC and Baton Rouge, LA. Three days earlier, their sixth album Street Survivors had been released.
The cover showed the group standing amid flames, and inside was an order form for a ``Lynyrd Skynyrd Survival Kit.'' (I assume there was no "Survival Kit" with the 8-track release.) The album was quickly recalled and the cover was replaced with a similar shot from the same photo session.
