  1. Excellent recording and share! Thanks also for leaving the recording untouched (or at least what sounds like it.) I like the challenge of cleaning up recordings with the new software I have.

  2. Thank you Riccardo,

    when I was able to obtain the first 360° Music Experience I felt in love with his approach.

  4. Thanks - it's always nice to hear the underrated and under-recorded reedman Ken McIntyre.

  5. Bulkang U. Antibop mentioned this set on a different blog earlier today. Now I'm glad I fount this blog entry here and I wonder if anyone would be able to resurrect riccardo's original flacs. TIA.

  7. Hey Otto! I should've asked if you were interested! I only have mp3 for this (above 300 bitrate), probably riccardo's. Until the flac's recovered, here they are:

  8. There's another one from the start of this '79 European tour I'm going to put up in the "Contributions" sections soon.

  9. Thank you very much, BUA! These mp3 files will be just fine for now. Glad you were able to find them. Now I'll enjoy the music and also practice the correct pronunciation of "Grachan" as modeled at the end of track 2 (although he doesn't seem to play on the track), the intro to track 3-5 (three ballads), and once again at the very end of set 2. Thanks!
