I have my pre-order in for Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy on MOFI as a 2LP 45rpm. I don’t have many MOFI releases but the Ry Cooder paradise and Lunch and the Sinatra - where are you (mono) have been amazingly well done so I can imagine there will be big smiles when I get the Dylan :slight_smile:

There is a rumour coming from Steve Morse that Deep Purple may be doing another album in 2019 followed by a tour. So if proven true I look foward to it.

Indeed that would be interesting…

Beginning of March - very much looking forward to this. Hope to also see her live in the future.

Bert, jazz? Classical? Good cover photo either way.

I know what I will be listening to when I am reading this - published 30 April.
It will help compensate for not being able top get to some of the upcoming European tour

She has so far been jazz, so I guess she will stay their with her new album. She had always also a tendency to cover a couple of other songs in a different context - like Metallica…

My personal styl if that’s your implied question is from light classical to progressive metal…, so broad… while most in jazz, classical and progressive rock…

For us here in the UK, we are indeed wondering what sort of big one is due 29th March.
Either way the day will have some good with a new JC set to listen to.

For 22nd of February…

I heard a track from Head First by John Turville a couple of weeks ago on radio 3 and have ordered a copy of the forthcoming album.

Tales of America, J. S. Ondara. No idea what this is but it looks interesting. Lovely photograph.
Sort of links in my mind to MITH, Lonnie Holley -

From the old man to the young man …

James Guthrie has remastered the mono version of the Floyd’s second album for Record Store Day 2019. Can’t wait for this!

PINK FLOYD 1968 ALBUM GETS 180-GRAM VINYL MONO

RE-RELEASE FOR RECORD STORE DAY 2019

SATURDAY 13 APRIL 2019

To celebrate Record Store Day 2019 (Saturday 13 April), Pink Floyd will re-release the band’s second album A Saucerful of Secrets on vinyl. Remastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman from the original 1968 analogue mono mix, the release is the latest from Pink Floyd Records , which has supported Record Store Day since the label’s launch in June 2016.

The limited-edition Record Store Day release is delivered on premium 12” 180-gram black vinyl, with a black poly-lined inner sleeve, and a faithful reproduction of the original sleeve, including the ‘Columbia’ logo, under which imprint (via EMI) the early Pink Floyd released in the UK. (The ‘Columbia’ logo has been used by kind permission of owners Sony Music Entertainment).

Originally released in June 1968, A Saucerful Of Secrets represents a change in line-up and direction. Co-founder and original songwriter Syd Barrett contributed only one song to the album and his live appearances became more erratic. So unreliable were Syd Barrett’s live appearances that fellow founder members, Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason decided to draft in David Gilmour, a friend of Syd’s, also from Cambridge. Roger Waters and Richard Wright contributed for this album four and three songs respectively.

The album reflects this transition, containing a mixture of material, from the almost ‘music hall’ Corporal Clegg through Richard Wright’s dreamlike and melodic See-Saw and Remember A Day to the title track – an 11-minute, four part instrumental excursion that both harked back to their UFO freakouts and looked forward to the longer, more anthemic instrumental sequences that were to become one of their signature elements.

In spite of the band having to wait a further 11 years for a UK hit single, the album reflected Pink Floyd’s popularity by charting at No. 9 in the UK. Produced by Norman Smith at London’s Abbey Road Studios, it features songs that remained on the band’s live setlist for many years, such as Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun by Roger Waters and the title track, composed by Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and David Gilmour. Corporal Clegg features a rare lead vocal on a studio album by Nick Mason, who otherwise appears with spoken word contributions to One Of These Days on Meddle, and two tracks on A Momentary Lapse of Reason .

The album’s cover artwork was the first ever sleeve design for creators Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson of the Hipgnosis design team, and was to lead to a ground-breaking career for them in the visual arts, including of course many more iconic Pink Floyd album sleeves, amongst them The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here .

A Saucerful of Secrets in Mono follows the successful release of Pink Floyd’s debut album The Piper At The Gates of Dawn in Mono in 2018, and is released via Record Store Day participating stores on 13 April 2019.
