LOVE "FOUR SAIL" THUNDERBOLT CD -ALTERNATE MIX

More Love! This is an ancient c.d. (1986) from England that for some reason featured an alternate earlier mix, by Arthur himself. Some of the mixes show up as bonus tracks on the current reissue so I thought you might enjoy the complete disc. http://rapidshare.com/files/34149349/Four_Sail__UK_THUNDERBOLT_CD-ALT._MIXES_.zip.html

In Time the roto-toms (tom-toms tuned by rotating drums on a pivot to stretch the head) were spread across the back channels while most of the remaining instruments were distributed across the front. The recording technique and studio layout for the basic backing tracks were nothing especially unusual except that maximum possible separation was attempted. Poor separation for a quad remix of this type could prove very disturbing. This was no problem in most cases, as many instruments were overdubbed rather than laid down on the basic track. The Kepex system was used as a noise gate on all the 16 tracks for the reduction, and also in the earlier stages to improve separation between individual drums on the basic recording. Further use of Kepex enabled decay times of various tracks to be altered; the heartbeat on the introduction to the album was, in fact, a Kepexed bass drum.

LOVE's FOREVER CHANGES MONO LP

This arrived yesterday via the US mail and I wanted to post it asap: the elusive monophonic pressing of Love's classic "Forever Changes". It is a U.S. Elektra, not one of those "common" U.K. jobs! I have never seen one during all my years of digging thru the stacks, so grab it while you may.....

(Look what I found in this weeks Austin Chronicle!)

In my memory, it was the very next night that we went to a Greenwich Village club to see Loudon Wainwright III. I'm guessing it was the Gaslight but, whatever: It was a very small club in the cellar of a building on Bleecker Street.

Now, we were there to see Wainwright and quite excited at the prospect of actually getting to watch him perform live. We hadn't really paid any attention to the rest of the bill. Keep in mind that this was a very small folk club.

The opening act was a British band about which I really didn't know much: It was Soft Machine, featuring Robert Wyatt, Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean, and Mike Ratledge. The music turned out to be a wall of sound (though not in the Phil Spector sense) as well as being very, very loud. In a very, very small club. Think of the advertisement of the guy in the chair being blown back by his new stereo. Our ears were ripped open, and our bodies pinned to the wall.

Wainwright came out and did a set. Frequently his tongue would be hanging out of his mouth. "Dead Skunk" had not yet come out, so the material was mostly from his first two albums.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to find this gem at Waterloo Records here in Austin. Legend says that only 50 of these promos were made. Not sure about that, but this is the crown jewel of my mono psych collection: true alternate mono mixes... rough and ready...The 13th Floor Elevators and Easter Everywhere Mono Promotional l.p.!

More Piper!

Another chapter in the eternal quest of arcane "PIPEROLOGY" we present for your listening pleasure an ancient Korean pressing of Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The track line up is the same as the U.S. Tower lp, but the mix seems oddly reverb enhanced (especially "Emily"). I have split the sides and they are straight high sample rate MP3s !
