Wrapping up this fine box set with CDs 9 and 10.
The Beatles - Help! - CD (2009 Stereo box set)
Having watched the film last night, giving the songs a proper listen.
Emmylou Harris - 1975 - Elite Hotel - Label - Reprise - OG Vinyl.
This is Emmylou’s third studio album. It produced three singles Together Again, One of These Days & Sweet Dreams.
Another beautiful Sunday morning album.
She is stunning live – if she plays a show near you, make sure you go along!
All The Days - The Devlins
Their recent release following a period of hiatus, hopefully they will hit the road to support it.
I have hundreds of Pink Floyd bootlegs, on vinyl, CD and on a hard drive. My favourite live era is 1969/70, when they were still improvising and experimenting, every gig was different and lots of weird tunes and curveballs featured in their sets.
This CD was recorded on 28th November 1970 at the Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken, West Germany (although there is some uncertainty about whether it was recorded on this night at that venue). Sound quality is excellent for the time, and the band’s performance and setlist is fantastic:
Fat Old Sun – 14min
Atom Heart Mother (no orchestra but lots of tape FX) – 19 min
Libest Spacement Monitor (a title almost certainly invented by the bootleggers; also sometimes titled “Corrosion”, this was a long improvised instrumental, a bit similar to “Moonhead” and the middle freak-out section of “Interstellar Overdrive”, that they performed 1969-71) – 10 min
Embryo - 12 min
Green Is The Colour – 3.5 min
A Saucerful Of Secrets (a really good, noisy version) – 19 min
