In 1968 they recorded just one album entitled "Definition" on the MGM label, and then disappeared. On a whim I searched the Web, tracked down the leader of the band from 32 years ago, and sent him an e-mail. I wondered if there were any plans to issue the Chrysalis album on CD. I was thrilled when he replied! He told me he would love to put out a Chrysalis CD but can't get to the master tapes. His best hope is to find a mint or still-sealed copy of the LP and to master the CD direct from the vinyl. Sadly, my copy is just about worn out. I did find a second copy but it has a skip on it. It's pointless to try and make a CD unless he can get a nice clean copy of the LP to work from. Here's where you come in. Do you, or does anyone you know, have an un-played copy of this admittedly arcane album by Chrysalis? If so, can I buy it or borrow it for this project? Feel free to pass this message on to your record-collecting friends and associates. [If you do, I will later write them and their associates and claim I never wanted this information made public, and that it was "kind of rude, really" to do so.] I would be really pleased if I could be part of putting this CD deal together.

I posted about this a month or two ago, but no one seemed to care. WHY DON'T YOU CARE? PLEASE CARE! These travesties affect our listening experience! Okay, seriously, the gist being that Ya Yas was fixed up in the studio and is hardly a true live document. There exists a bootleg of the "real" version, before vocals, guitar parts, etc., were redone in the studio. I saw one on Ebay last year, and it went for a lot of money, as you can imagine. So, anyone out there have one of these? If so, what are some differences? I found something on the web comparing the two versions but I've lost the url.

No, it's the demo for Roto Sound Strings that is out of place. This on top of the way they separated the songs, particularly Armenia City In The Sky from the Monday Tuesday..... Radio London promo. Then there is the total confusion about Mary Anne With The Shaky Hands. Sell Out claims to have the B side version as a bonus track, which it isn't. Well, if it is they have mixed so it sounds nothing like it. They claim it's a version of Young Man from the rare comp, House That Track Built. (that's the cover on the inside tray of Odds) but the version the actually put on Odds is yet another take, and not nearly as good! > - -Linda > > < wrong studio version of Young Man Blues on Odds and Sods; they kept using the wrong version of Mary Anne; > and on Sell Out they messed with he segues and added that demo in the middle of the album!>> > > - -Linda > > ------------------------------ > > > From: Sknoof@aol.com > Subject: Re: Shel Talmy on eBay > > Just saw this: > > < on e-bay?>> > > > 'Cause it was an "un-named third party" offering the item for sale.....and, > copyright ownership being what it is, the odds were good-to-excellent that > any successful bidder would not be able to release the material. > > A real expensive collectible! > > Mike F. That didn't seem to bother Paul Allen, who bought the multi tracks of the Band Of Gypsies recordings. When it came time to reissue that album, they had to use the original roughs, as they Allen wanted too much to let them remix from his tapes. In a similar case, someone I know has boxes of multi tracks from Woodstock. They can't do anything themselves, only hope some artist would like to pay them to release their stuff off the masters. I don't know what the story is, but I do know they have the Who set. > > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 10:01:23 -0500 > From: "Sam Elwitt" > Subject: Re: Tommy Lives At Leeds > > Aaaaghhh...don't get me started on how messed up all the Who reissues are!

I had just happened to have pulled out my Mono copy of Quick One on Backtrack #8. What a pleasant surprise. I remember when I first heard the stereo version, after listening to the mono for a few months, how different it was. Speaking of the Backtrack series( those were cheap Who, Hendrix, and compilation albums in generic sleeves) there is one called The Ox, (#14) which is an album of John's stuff up through Tommy. There are some very different mixes or versions on this. Dr Jekyll has an extended ending, and the Tommy stuff seems to be from the UK mix of the album, which is different from the American mix. > > > > For anyone who cares, the Isle of Wight performance is noticeably worse than > most of the other 69-70 shows, so Leeds Complete (or one of the other > gazillion boots from the period, including the Fillmore show Ron mentioned) > is worth getting if you're interested in hearing a tight show. I don't know if IoW is "worse", it's just that they were playing much different from the '69 tour. The '68 tour was sort of the same. The show I saw was a weird collection of odd tracks like Daddy Rolling Stone, and lots of singles: Pictures of Lily, I'm A Boy, Little Billy, and then long jams. It was sort of weird seeing Pete trying to work that out. He sure was playing different from the '67 show I saw. In 69 he'd tightened it up and found his own guitar sound. > > > > > Ron, speaking of Our Love Was, do you know how the stereo version got to be > the one with the overdubbed solo, not the mono, as is usually the case? Good question. I think they just changed their mind at some point and wiped the solo that's on the mono version.

Alan W. > Quad is interesting, because the went back to the original elements of Townshend's demos, which are the basis for the album, and remixed it using the 1st generation material. Sounds good to my ears. But then are Who Are You they used some alternate solos so it no longer accurately reflects the original album. Sounds good though, and the bonus stuff is very interesting. That's the case with so many of the cd reissues. Once they start remixing, it's never going to sound like the originals, you just never know what you are getting. Remember how David Crosby added a new snare drum to Lady Friend as it appeared on the Never Before release? In one of the worst cases ever, Zappa added a modern jazz fusion rhythm section to Ruben And The Jets. Totally ruined a very charming and thoughtful record. > ------------------------------ > > Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 10:42:23 -0800 > From: "nipper@thestranger.com" > Subject: Re: Shel Talmy's Who on eBay/Leeds > > In regards to all the Who reissues/comps being wrong how in the hell does > this happen...is it lame ass staff producers who just don't care?

They are all done by Jon Astley, Pete's brother inlaw, and all are approved by Pete. It's the usual case of just not sitting down with original albums, and then running it past any number of knowledgeable Who fans. > And the fuck ups happen not only to > the Who, for example, THEM's (w/V.'brown eye'Morrison) 'complete' 2CD, the > UK version had a few "issues"...which "they" said were corrected on the US > vers...whatever...ugh.

The Who did have to seek out the bootleggers who'd got the tapes for some of the Who's Next stuff. It had been dumped on a building site by Richard Branson, who'd bought the studio and cleaned it out! Moral of the story? Hang on to your original recordings because it's never going to be the same again. And if you know anyone with uncirculated live tapes, tell them if they are not going to share them, at least get them digitized so the old reels don't self destruct in the basement.

If you've seen his other major works (Civil War, Baseball), this one follows the same format: tons of old photos, celebrity voiceovers and somewhat portentous narration. So far it looks like it will focus on Armstrong and Ellington as the prime forces behind the music with everyone else relegated to a secondary position, but that may be a premature reading of it. After seeing the first two episodes (out of 10), it looks to be starting off strong, but I'm a little disheartened to see the insufferable Wynton Marsalis get so much airtime. -- Rick ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 09:20:10 +0100 From: Jan.Roerhorst@prismant.nl Subject: January 10 Hi y'all, A quick one before I go to work!
