I do have a slight bias when it comes to this CD, the pianist is the son of my best friend.
That said, it’s still a very well recorded first album, as you would expect from Naxos Records.
I know. that’s why the recital I have attended is more dear. His down to earth warm personality shone through. One recital it was one of the most miserable night in Chicago with a ton of rain and floods everywhere and half of the hall was empty. He was so gratfull for those who showed up!
from carnival Records, Malvern. latest Gong, continuing with the Gong story and nice 3 cd box set form Grapefruit records (Cherry Red) , loads of rare tracks with informative booklet

From a SQ perspective, the CD is pretty good, just a bit bass light, unless that’s normal for this guy. For me, the bass is pushed way back in the background and should be more prominent.
From the booklet: “Only previously released on 10 inch vinyl,’Opration Radication’ is an overlooked part of Winston Foster’s prolific career…”
Also has a different track order, with an omission and additions. Anyway, this is the version I needed. The music is good, but I have yet to listen to the lyrics properly.
Good on you. I’ve cancelled my original order with Amazon and have placed an order at Badlands, which is selling the two sets for >£7 less. I suspect the Amazon order will still turn up and I’ll have to go through the hassle of the return process.
