*Original Notes
Vinyl superstar Jack White release the 15th entry in the
Third Man Records’ rarity-excavating Vault subscribers
series, and, of course, the package has an appropriately
weird back story. The big get in this round of exclusives is
Jack White & the Bricks: Live on the Garden Bowl Lanes,
a 12? live LP capturing a 1999 show by short-lived
White Stripes-precursors Jack White & the Bricks, who performed
on a stage set up over lanes 11 through 14 at Detroit’s Garden
Bowl bowling alley. Pressed on (what else) “Bowling-Pin-White”
vinyl, the record features White singing and playing guitar with
his nephew and Dirtbombs member Ben Blackwell on drums,
Ken Peyok from Waxwings and the See-See providing bass, and
future Raconteurs collaborator Brendan Benson helping out with
guitar.
The set — which includes future White Blood Cells tunes
“Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” “The Union Forever,”
“Now Mary,” and “The Same Boy You’ve Always Known,” plus two
Bob Dylan covers and a Meg White-dedicated rendition of
“Ain’t It a Shame” by garage legends ? & the Mysterians —
was committed to four-track reel-to-reel on White’s 24th
birthday, July 9, 1999, by an engineer set up in lane 10.
According to the statement, Garden Bowl, “the longest continually-run
bowling establishment in North America,” was also
“the de facto home of the then-bustling Detroit garage rock scene.”

RE-UP Jethro Tull - A Little Light Music and Conversation With Ian Anderson
It's always enjoyable listening to Ian speak, his wit and story telling always entertains and leaves you wanting more. I recently found the below disc featuring an extensive radio interview from Buenos Aires in 1993. Great comments and insights as usual from Mr.Anderson. One problem however is everything Ian says is being translated, which certainly chops up the flow of conversation. Still very much worth the listen. Just a note on the music tracks, they are all original studio versions except Someday the Sun...and Bouree, which are live in the studio.
I've also added the Monte Carlo BBC Broadcast from 1975 with some fun comments in between songs, and a partially restored Chateau d'Isater Sessions.
Enjoy!

*Original Comments: I recently have been listening a lot to Nightcap and the Chateau recordings.
I remembered about the Minstrel in the Red House bootlegs that includes the raw recording of
what was to be a side of the double album that was reworked as A Passion Play. I then found a
bootleg called "The Lost Chateau Album (A Partial Reconstruction). It is very interesting as an
attempted to recreate to some degree the double album. Of this bootleg I will post only this
piece, it's the track from Minstrel in the Red House remastered, and the guy who did the
remastering did a really wonderful job. I unfortunately don't know his name to credit him here.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

* Original notes
Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), better known as Howlin' Wolf, was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.
With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Burnett is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues; musician and critic Cub Koda declared, "no one could match [Howlin' Wolf] for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits." Many songs popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful"—have become standards of blues and blues rock.
At 6 feet, 6 inches (198 cm) and close to 300 pounds (136 kg), he was an imposing presence with one of the loudest and most memorable voices of all the "classic" 1950s Chicago blues singers. Howlin' Wolf's voice has been compared to "the sound of heavy machinery operating on a gravel road". Although the two were reportedly not that different in actual personality, this rough edged, slightly fearsome musical style is often contrasted with the less crude but still powerful presentation of his contemporary and professional rival, Muddy Waters, to describe the two pillars of the Chicago Blues representing the music.
Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter Jacobs and Muddy Waters are usually regarded in retrospect as the greatest blues artists who recorded for Chess in Chicago. Sam Phillips once remarked of Chester Arthur Burnett, "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said, 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies.' " In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #51 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Born in White Station, Mississippi, near West Point, he was named after Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, and was nicknamed Big Foot Chester and Bull Cow in his early years because of his massive size. He explained the origin of the name Howlin' Wolf thus: "I got that from my grandfather [John Jones]." He used to tell him stories about the wolves in that part of the country and warn him that if he misbehaved, they would "get him". As a youth he listened to Charley Patton, who taught him the rudiments of guitar, as well as to the Mississippi Sheiks, Tommy Johnson and Jimmie Rodgers, who was Wolf's childhood idol. Wolf tried to emulate Rodgers' "blue yodel", but found that his efforts sounded more like a growl or a howl. "I couldn't do no yodelin'," Barry Gifford quoted him as saying in Rolling Stone, "so I turned to howlin'. And it's done me just fine." His harmonica playing was modeled after that of Rice Miller (also known as Sonny Boy Williamson II), who had lived with his sister for a time and taught him how to play. He played with Robert Johnson and Willie Brown in his youth.
He farmed during the 1930s, served in the United States Army as a radioman in Seattle during World War II, and by 1948 had formed a band which included guitarists Willie Johnson and M. T. Murphy, harmonica player Junior Parker, a pianist remembered only as "Destruction" and drummer Willie Steele. He began broadcasting on KWEM in West Memphis, Arkansas, alternating between performing and pitching farm equipment, and auditioned for Sam Phillips's Memphis Recording Service in 1951.
According to the documentary film The Howlin' Wolf Story, Howlin' Wolf's parents broke up when he was young. His very religious mother Gertrude threw him out of the house while he was still a child for refusing to work around the farm; he then moved in with his uncle, Will Young, who treated him badly. When he was 13, he ran away and claimed to have walked 85 miles (137 km) barefoot to join his father, where he finally found a happy home within his father's large family. During the peak of his success, he returned from Chicago to his home town to see his mother again, but was driven to tears when she rebuffed him and refused to take any money he offered her, saying it was from his playing the "Devil's music".
1950s
Howlin' Wolf quickly became a local celebrity, and soon began working with a band that included Willie Johnson, and guitarist Pat Hare. His first recordings came in 1951, when he recorded sessions for both the Bihari brothers at Modern Records and Leonard Chess' Chess Records. Chess issued Howlin' Wolf's How Many More Years in August 1951; Wolf also recorded sides for Modern, with Ike Turner, in late 1951 and early 1952. Chess eventually won the war over the singer, and Wolf settled in Chicago, Illinois c. 1953. arriving in Chicago, he assembled a new band, recruiting Chicagoan Joseph Leon "Jody" Williams from Memphis Slim's band as his first guitarist. Within a year Wolf enticed guitarist Hubert Sumlin to leave Memphis and join him in Chicago; Sumlin's terse, curlicued solos perfectly complemented Burnett's huge voice and surprisingly subtle phrasing. Although the line-up of Wolf's band would change regularly over the years, employing many different guitarists both on recordings and in live performance including Willie Johnson, Jody Williams, Lee Cooper, L.D. McGhee, Otis "Big Smokey" Smothers, his brother Abe "Little Smokey" Smothers, Jimmy Rogers, Freddie "Abu Talib" Robinson, and Buddy Guy, among others, with the exception of a couple of brief absences in the late '50s Sumlin remained a member of the band for the rest of Wolf's career, and is the guitarist most often associated with the Chicago Howlin' Wolf sound.
In the 1950s Wolf had four songs that qualified as "hits" on the Billboard national R&B charts: "How Many More Years", his first and biggest hit, made it to #4 in 1951; its flip side, "Moanin' at Midnight", made it to #10 the same year; "Smoke Stack Lightning" charted for three weeks in 1956, peaking at #8; and "I Asked For Water" appeared on the charts for one week in 1956, in the #8 position. In 1959, Wolf's first album, Moanin' in the Moonlight, a compilation of previously released singles, was released.
1960s
His 1962 album Howlin' Wolf is a famous and influential blues album, often referred to as "The Rocking Chair album" because of its cover illustration depicting an acoustic guitar leaning against a rocking chair. This album contained "Wang Dang Doodle", "Goin' Down Slow", "Spoonful", and "Little Red Rooster", songs which found their way into the repertoires of British and American bands infatuated with Chicago blues. In 1964 he toured Europe as part of the American Folk Blues Festival tour produced by German promoters Horst Lippmann and FriIn 1965 he appeared on the television show Shindig at the insistence of The Rolling Stones, who were scheduled to appear on the same program and who had covered "Little Red Rooster" on an early album. He was often backed on records by bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon who is credited with such Howlin' Wolf standards as "Spoonful", "I Ain't Superstitious", "Little Red Rooster", "Back Door Man", "Evil", "Wang Dang Doodle" (later recorded by Koko Taylor), and others.
In September, 1967, he joined forces with Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters for The Super Super Blues Band album of Chess blues standards, including "The Red Rooster" and "Spoonful".
1970s
In May 1970, Howlin' Wolf, his long-time guitarist Hubert Sumlin, and the young Chicago blues harmonica player Jeff Carp traveled to London along with Chess Records producer Norman Dayron to record the Howlin' Wolf London Sessions LP, accompanied by British blues/rock musicians Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and others. He recorded his last album for Chess, The Back Door Wolf, in 1973.
Later personal life
Unlike many other blues musicians, after he left his impoverished childhood to begin a musical career, Howlin' Wolf was always financially successful. Having already achieved a measure of success in Memphis, he described himself as "the onliest one to drive himself up from the Delta" to Chicago, which he did, in his own car on the Blues Highway and with four thousand dollars in his pocket, a rare distinction for a black blues man of the time. In his early career, this was the result of his musical popularity and his ability to avoid the pitfalls of alcohol, gambling, and the various dangers inherent in what are vaguely described as "loose women", to which so many of his peers fell prey. Though functionally illiterate into his 40s, Burnett eventually returned to school, first to earn a G.E.D., and later to study accounting and other business courses aimed to help his business career.
Wolf met his future wife, Lillie, when she attended one of his performances in a Chicago club. She and her family were urban and educated, and not involved in what was generally seen as the unsavory world of blues musicians. Nonetheless, immediately attracted when he saw her in the audience as Wolf says he was, he pursued her and won her over. According to those who knew them, the couple remained deeply in love until his death. Together they raised Lillie's two daughters from an earlier relationship, Bettye and Barbara.
After he married Lillie, who was able to manage his professional finances, Wolf was so financially successful that he was able to offer band members not only a decent salary, but benefits such as health insurance; this in turn enabled him to hire his pick of the available musicians, and keep his band one of the best around. According to his daughters, he was never financially extravagant, for instance driving a Pontiac station wagon rather than a more expensive and flashy car.
Wolf's health declined in the late 1960s through 1970s. He suffered several heart attacks and in 1970 his kidneys were severely damaged in an automobile accident. He died in 1976 from complications of kidney disease.
Burnett died at Hines VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois, USA on January 10, 1976 and was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Hillside, Cook County, Illinois in a plot in Section 18, on the east side of the road. His large gravestone, allegedly purchased by Eric Clapton, has an image of a guitar and harmonica etched into it.
The Howlin' Wolf Memorial Blues Festival is held each year in West Point, Mississippi. Wolf's Juke Joint Jam is another annual Howlin' Wolf tribute festival held in West Point. Some of the artists who have played 'Wolf Jam' include Wolf's lead guitarist Hubert Sumlin, Muddy Waters' back band of Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Calvin "Fuzz" Jones and "Steady Rollin" Bob Margolin, Willie King, Blind Mississippi Morris, Kenny Brown, Burnside Exploration, etc. The festival is held at the 500-acre (2.0 km2) festival grounds know as Waverly Waters Resort, and is sponsored by 2 Brothers Brand barbecue sauce and seasonings.
Burnett was portrayed by Eamonn Walker in the 2008 motion picture Cadillac Records.

Direct from 2nd Gen Cassettes
Taper: - Henry Boc (needs confirmation)
The original files for this download were a HUGE 4GB! Too much for me. I didn't wish to mp3 them, so I felt that a WAV conversion would preserve the quality without killing file space. All the notes towards the original file size are within. The original FLAC audio files were preserved.
This is a GREAT sounding recording.
*Original Notes
I obtained these cassettes from Nigel Bradder who lives in the UK who was a prolific Pink Floyd collector in the 70's and 80's. He traded with a guy in Canada called Mark Lewkowicz who I believe had obtained copies of the masters of this show from the taper who I believe was called Henry Boc.
If anybody has more information about the origins of this show and who taped it please post it.
On the above basis I believe that it is most likely that these cassettes are second generation from the master.
The transfer was made using the following equipment: -
Playback via Nakamichi ZX-7 cassette deck with manual adjustment to height and azimuth of playback head to match that of the original tape recorder to optimise the sound during playback.
Direct connection to analogue input of Audiophile 2496 soundcard via high quality Clicktronic interconnects with 24K gold plugs.
This is a big download and if you want to listen to it on CD you will need to down-sample from 96kHz 24bit to 44.1kHz and 16bits join the files together
then split up on the sector boundaries.
On my cassettes the tracks are split as follows: -
Tape 1 Side 1 - Echoes, Obscured By Clouds/When You're In
Tape 1 Side 2 - Careful With That Axe Eugene, Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, Time, Breathe (Reprise), The Great Gig In The Sky
Tape 2 Side 1 - The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us And Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse
Tape 2 Side 2 - Crowd, One Of These Days
The only track split is near the end of The Great Gig In The Sky
I tidied up the beginnings and endings and merged all four sides together then split the show into individual tracks and saved them at FLAC level 8.
Track listing: -
01 - Echoes
02 - Obscured By Clouds / When You're In

*Original Notes
Sounds better than the 'Fillmore East (Early Show)' copy circulating. This copy also has the surprise inclusion of a complete 'One Of These Days' which seems to have been missed off of other copies. You can hear the distinctive crowd noise before 'OOtD' on the 'Early Show' recording, but it cuts almost immediately, then goes into 'AHM'. On this recording there's no cut and we get a complete 'OOtD'... It may well be that it's actually not from this show, but it sounds like it should be. It seems strange that's it's not more widely circulated if it is...
Track 6 ('Set The Controls') included a cut in the middle where the tape flipped, at 06:59.62553. This wasn't fixable...

Magna Qualitas Records is proud to present "Since We Were Teenagers", this fully restored and remastered recording from Santa Monica as our fourth release. Due to our continuing work on everything related to Zabriskie Point, which led to the new revision of the Omayyad album, we've decided to complete the restoration of this excellent recording. GBC torrented this recording (provided by Rudy and M.M.) originally a while back, and his notes reflect the many instances of dropouts, damages and cuts in the tape. All this has been restored here using pieces of other shows or relocating pieces from this show.
Originally Grantchester Meadows only ran about 30 seconds. Apparently that is where the taper started recording. We have patched the majority of the song in from the previous show in San Francisco on April 29, but since the very beginning of that fades in we decided to restore that as well from the KQED tape. We wanted the birds before the song to be there. The 30 seconds of the song that existed on the tape for this show are all there, but now the whole song exists in a form that is nearly impossible to tell its from more than one show. from 0 to 0:34 April 30 - KQED. From 0:34 to 7:13 April 29 - Fillmore East. From 7:13 to 7:37 (end) May 1 - Santa Monica
Astronomy Domine had a small part missing due to a damaged portion of the tape. This was patched with a piece from slightly earlier in the song. The buildup was a bit oversaturated and was all at one continuous loud volume, so this was readjusted to better reflect the gradually increasing intensity of the song.
The original little patch from Santa Monica 1970-10-23 is still in place in Cymbaline. It was done so well I can't even tell where it is, so why mess with perfection?
A dull spot in the tape at about 14 minutes into The Amazing Pudding was repaired.
The missing part of Careful was spliced in from Port Talbot 1969-12-06, curiously this concert was during the Sessions for Zabriskie Point. We searched long and hard through dozens of shows to find a tape where the performance was similar enough to the one at Santa Monica (and with similar sound quality) to fill the missing section. Quite a lot was missing, so it had to be done. The patch exists from 2:33 to 3:48.
Drop-outs and other anomalies were cleaned up or otherwise repaired. The volume of the whole thing was adjusted in various places to make the dynamics more pleasant, and because the tape sounds like the taper was adjusting the gain on the fly as the show went on in order to compensate for very quiet passages. A lot of the between song banter and tuneups and the tape effects during Cymbaline were very quiet, so they were brought up a bit. The distorted sections of the show were carefully restored to avoid a lot of the oversaturation they originally contained. Several spots where the high end dulled down a bit, likely from deterioration of the master, were EQd separately and patched in in order to compensate for the tonal changes. Noise Reduction was carefully applied in three stages, and the whole thing now appears for the first time in stereo due to the usage of a very sophisticated and well sounding (although freely available) stereo processing plugin. The tape flips were all patched by relocating audience from different parts of the show so the whole thing is now a continuous piece for each set.
This release is certainly not perfect. Many wrinkles and crumples were present in the master tape, and although we did our best, there's not a lot that can be done to fix them. It is, however, probably the best it has ever sounded since we were teenagers, maybe even as it ever will...

Quality: XXX -EDEN
Comments: An excellent performance. Roger is in rare form this night, talking to the
audience as I've not heard before. He does an interesting introduction to Green Is
The Colour, doing some brief CWTAE sounds. Before Set The Controls, he does some
German ranting to the audience. Prior to Saucerful, he does some humorous bantering.
Musically, the main draw of this release is the inclusion of Corrosion and a
Grooving With A Pict type jam. This is one of only two performances of Corrosion
that I currently know of (the other is included on, among other places, Stranger
Than Fiction - this is definitely a different performance).
The Grooving With A Pict is a semi structured jam that features Roger's Scottish
ranting and guitar/keyboard meanderings (it's been 10 years or so since I've
listened to my Ummagumma LP, so I cannot give a detailed description on how closely
this performance matched the studio song). The remaining song performances are
strong.
The recording is decent, though not nearly as clear as Smoking Blues or
Remergence. Recording quality aside, I find this performance to be more engaging
than Smoking Blues and would quickly recommend it over Smoking Blues, which occurred
just 7/8 days after this. If you value unique performances, or just love the
1970-1971 shows, this title is rated as essential collection material. If sound
quality is more important, however, definitely go with Smoking Blues, which is still
a very good and somewhat unique performance. However, my performance standards run
contrary to most of the Floyd reviews I've read (based on performance I prefer the
Brutish Temptation show to Smoking Blues, and find the Montreux 1971 show to be
relatively boring). So, you may need to take my opinions with a grain of salt. -EDEN

Pink Floyd – 1972.02.20 - In Celebration Of The Comet (The Coming Of Kohoutek) - LP Vinyl Transfer
Venue: Rainbow Theatre – London, UK
*Original Notes*
Many listings state the date of this performance was 1972.02.17, when reportedly the actual date was 1972.02.20.
Lineage: Audience (details unknown) > Original Vinyl (TAKRL 1903) > NAD 5120 turntable + Nagaoka MP-11 Cartridge > SP-2 Stereo Phono Preamplifier > CD Spin Doctor > aiff > flac level 6 > you. Sound quality is B+ or better.
This is a popular and widely circulated bootleg album from Pink Floyd. The performance featured a musical piece referred to at the time as "The Eclipse Suite," which would later become "Dark Side of the Moon."
Note the song titles: “The Travel Sequence,” “The Mortality Sequence,” and “The Scat Sequence,” which later evolved into “On The Run,” “The Great Gig In The Sky,” and “Any Colour You Like.”
I purchased this album in the 1970’s & with little wear it has maintained its luster, although some snap, crackle & pop exist. I did no post-transfer treatments. The center hole of the vinyl is a tad bit off center, which may add a bit of wobble.
I have provided 2 versions of this vinyl transfer. One option is Sides 1 & 2 without track other breaks. Another option is 10 individual track breaks. Scan composite of the cover is included also.
Enjoy.

This beauty comes directly from the master tapes, while the MoLM release is an FM Broadcast of a 1st gen. This was obtained directly from the taper, and it's a remaster of his master tapes (made by himself), but whatever he did, it sounds wonderful. Amazing show, you are not to miss this one.

9 November 1975
Soundboard recording
Unknown transfer
*Original Notes
COMPLETE and UPGRADED
COMPLETE: because this release includes "Master Builder" in its entirety. The first release had only a 3 minutes truncated version.
UPGRADED: because this version comes from a much lower generation tape than the previous release. Even though the sound quality was rated "excellent" on the first release, it was dull compared to this one! Sound quality is amazing on this new version.
Although it's from a lower generation tape, it's still not the master. There were no more digital clicks, no hiss, but a few of the cuts found on the previous tape were still there (and were equally repaired). And very surprisingly, a new cut was in "Chandra" (at 7'50) yet this song was complete on the previous tape; and a longer cut was found on "Wingful Of Eyes" (still at 2'22). So these songs were patched with the previous version (a slight change of sound can be heard).
The introduction was also missing on this new tape, so it has been restored here using the previous version.

During the second half of 1975, GONG was in a transition phase: Daevid Allen had left the group, and Steve Hillage was seen as the new leader of the band, true to the spirit of its founder and its Pot Head Pixies. However, Gong was already moving towards a more instrumental music and a sophisticated jazz-rock. Many new songs were created on stage during these few months, but when it came to record them for the album Shamal, Steve Hillage had decided to quit.
This is what makes live recordings of this short pre-Shamal period with Hillage all the more fascinating.
This concert is a rare document too, in many ways.
- Pierre Moerlen, absent because of multiple musical activities is replaced exceptionally by Laurie Allan.
- The band plays a lot of pieces not yet released on album. In addition to the future Shamal titles, they play an early version of "Lunar Musick Suite and "Electrick Gypsies", which would be later recorded by Steve Hillage for his solo album "L" in 1976. This first version played by Gong is quite exceptional.
- Similarly, the song "I'm Beginning to See The Light" played here, remains unreleased to this day.
- The "Isle of Everywhere" is not completed by the theme "Get it inner" as was the case for all other Gong concerts from this period (including the officially released "Live at Sherwood Forest" recorded November 25, 1975)
- Finally, we note the presence of an unusual riff in "Shamal", which Steve Hillage would later use for "Searching for the Spark" in 1977.
Enjoy!
