Pentangle - The Lost Broadcasts 68-71



A little beauty I found. No info. I discovered Pentangle a few years back, fell in love, one solid group!!
Downloaded this from ***out there***one night, day, and lost it amongst my MP3 and FLAC library.
Found it (are you fancinated yet?) and decided now to pass it on, (below the salt of course,) to you.

Original Comments:
From a very clean clone of the master cassettes. These tapes are the source for every Bradford release that you have heard. This is a direct transfer from the first generation tapes which date from 1971.

The recording includes all tune-ups and band chatter between tracks. The boys are in a playful mood, as you can tell by their interaction with the audience, which is very quiet during the songs. There is no appreciable hiss. The taper also used 60 minute cassettes, 30 minutes to a side, which is obvious by the breaks.

'Careful With That Axe, Eugene': The recording begins with the first few notes of the song. I especially like Roger's scream since it is--by my count--a full 19 seconds long!

'Fat Old Sun': A great jam session. Vocals are not perfectly clear, but you can hear every word. There are some interesting guitar licks during the tune-ups.

'Set The Controls': The first tape flip occurs during the intro. After the song, Roger introduces 'Atom Heart Mother' then says the band is going to take a break, followed by what sounds like "then we're going to have a drink."

'Atom Heart Mother': During the intro, there are several pops which sound as if they might have been due to a loose microphone lead.

'Echoes': The opening pings to this "new piece" just pierces your skull.  

'Cymbaline': The "footsteps" sequence goes on for quite a while. The third and final tape flip occurs during this sequence.

'One Of These Days': David introduces this new song using its full title. This was the second performance of this song, the first was at the BBC on 30 September.

'A Saucerful Of Secrets': The final break in the tape occurs prior to 'Celestial Voices'.

03. Cymbaline [12:48] %
04. Echoes [15:53]

%: last performance of this song ever
#: longest version ever recorded

total length: 118:34


Original notes:
This is a historic show for many reasons. The first is that this is the last gig of the 
1971 tour, this date was a replacement date for the concert that was originally schedeuled
on October 30th at the Music Hall in Cincinnati.  A couple more reasons (and these are the 
good ones) are that this performance marks the last time the band ever performs 2 songs 
which had been staples of their setlist for quite some time, one song being The Embryo and  
the other one being Cymbaline.
The Embryo contained here is the longest version to have ever been recorded, lasting about
26 minutes... incredible!!!  The band is quite hot this night too and therefore all the 
songs are performed very well in my opinion.  
This is the 1st recorder for this date and unfortunately it is not complete, missing some of 
Echoes and all of the encore, Blues.  This is, however, the better sounding of the 2 
recorders for this date a deserves a very nice EX rating.  
It's something special when you get all these goodies in one RoIO, please enjoy responsibly!

Robin Trower - For Earth Below Rehearsals



ROBIN TROWER:
"FOR EARTH BELOW" (THIRD ALBUM) REHEARSALS AND JAMS
OLD VICTORIAN CHURCH, LONDON, ENGLAND
SEPTEMBER 1974

2CD FLAC FILES

As requested - please do not encode into MP3. Thank you.

****************************************************************************

INFO:
After Robin Trower finished up his UK dates in mid-August 1974, in support of "Bridge of Sighs," he fired drummer Reg Isidore. Trower and bassist/vocalist James Dewar then flew to Los Angeles to audition new drummers. Trower had decided he wanted an American drummer with a distinctively American feel. After auditioning several drummers, Trower got a call from Bill Lordan, formerly of Sly Stone's band. Trower later told an interviewer that Lordan phoned him up and boasted that he was the best man for the job and to look no further. Lordan more than backed up this bold claim during his audition and immediately clinched the gig.
In September 1974, Trower, Dewar, Lordan, and producer Matthew Fisher (keyboardist in Trower's old band, Procol Harum) assembled in London and rented a church to rehearse in and jam. The London rehearsals were designed to work out a new sound for the band, to help the new lineup gel, and to firm up ideas for their third album, FOR EARTH BELOW, which Fisher was producing.
In a very informative interview posted at Steve's Place
(http://members.shaw.ca/stevesplace/BLinterview.htm), an excellent Trower website, Trower drummer Bill Lordan recalls: "I went to England in September of 1974 to start rehearsals . . . [for the third album] FOR EARTH
BELOW, the rehearsals were in an old Victorian Church in London. It wasn't an abandoned church, but it wasn't being used for services. It had a great acoustical sound for us. After rehearsing for a few weeks, we returned to Los Angeles to start recording FOR EARTH BELOW at The Record Plant [Hollywood], with Matthew Fisher producing. We cut the album and it seems like we went right on tour and I remember that the first gig was in Rochester, NY, November 4th, 1974." FOR EARTH BELOW was released in February 1975.
All of the material here comes from those September 1974, jams and rehearsal sessions at the old Victorian church in London. NONE of these are studio outtakes or different mixes from the album. All of the numbers here are jams and rehearsals. They were recorded on a portable machine in the rehearsal room, and are not professional studio tracks. These numbers have a rough, jam feel to them similar to the Led Zep III and Stairway Sessions rehearsals and jams. This material is very special because it shows us a view of the Trower band that few have ever seen. Included are great jazz-rock fusion jams. These present a very unusual side of Trower. Matthew Fisher even joins in and plays keyboards on several of these wonderful jazz-rock and jazz-blues jams.
In this material, we get the treat of listening to the band's creative process, as they work out ideas and experiment, doing some old numbers from the first two albums and working out new ideas for their third album.
This is a rare opportunity to hear this superb, newly formed lineup having fun and letting go in a rehearsal room.
Trower's guitar work is fabulous.
NONE of these jams have been released anywhere, in any form. The quality is EX, similar to the Led
Zep III Rehearsals or Stairway Sessions, and typical of a portable tape deck in the rehearsal room, which is what
this band used to record their ideas in progress. This material comes from a very clean, low-gen tape of those
jams.
