The first five songs > being very heavy, while the rest is much lighter. I know what you mean, though I am not sure that -- in tone, anyway, if not density of power chords -- "Blue ?yster Cult" (the reworked "Subhuman" -- is so much lighter than the almost jaunty "Del Rio's Song". Likewise, "Magna of Illusion" is not fast, but neither is it really that lightweight. The only song (from the released album) that I am never really been able to square myself with is "Imaginos" itself! You can hear a few of the others via the "Imaginos Demos" bootleg that floats around the Internet. (Not that, of course, I would wish to be understood as encouraging or condoning illegal downloading -- I just note, in the name of science, what is in theory possible ....) An "unplugged" tBS version of "The Girl That Love Made Blind" cropped up on _Malpractise_, though my sense (cough) is that the original version had a somewhat unpluggy vibe, too. "Gil Blanco County", I understand (cough), seems more mid-tempoish and like perhaps a more "stately" sort of "Del Rio" vibe ....

Fat Hairy in no way meant to sound bossy, nor does he operate under the pretense that a late night radio show about kookie stuff is appealing to those outside my own breed.

As I've mentioned before, transferring the "Space is Their Palestine" insert from Hassan to Sword of The East would go very well. Dunno about redoing Black Sword, though I agree the robot drums make it fairly hard to listen to these days. Elric The Enchanter is possibly the one I'd choose to try a do-over. There seems to have been being a trend for re-doing classic albums, often from the 80s, in their entirety. Girlschool, for example, just recently re-did "Hit & Run" .... Pretty credibly, actually; the first track, "C'mon Let's Go" starts off with the sounds of snoring rather than the revving motorcycle engine of the original. ;) That little trick had me onboard for the rest of the show. :) '80s production does seem to get singled out for special venom -- of course, it's hard to imagine a lot of '80s pop without those gated drums. I mean, would we remix "In the Air Tonight" to _not_ include them? And would it make sense to re-do stuff by Bon Jovi or Def Leppard without the '80s vibe? :) I mean, that stuff On the other hand, it's probably true that a heavy production hand back them did not do wonders for many rock bands -- Hawkwind among them (and, among other things, '80s production approaches did the Sabbath recordings of that era little good, either). I don't know that one would need to re-record COTBS or XC (well, OK, perhaps Danny Thompson's drumming is not gonna win any awards ... but we don-t wanna get accused of pulling a "Sharon" and stripping the original performances/performers off the record ... do we?) but a very serious re-mix might be in order. Depends, I guess, on whether or how much was recorded "wet". Steve Wilson's recent re-mix of Tull's Aqualung stays very true to the original design of the mix -- just basically getting it all a bit clearer and detailed -- but that would probably not the the approach I'd take with CoTBS or XC .... :) Listening again ... mmm, yeah, re-mixing the drums to make them a bit more organic (they could hardly be _less_ organic!) would do a lot to help COTBS even if nothing else was done. But, mmm, mere remastering, despite what can be done by a skilled mastering engineer, would probably be insufficient!

United Artists Records Profile: United Artists Records was founded in 1958 by movie producer Max E. Youngstein initially to distribute records of its own soundtracks. It soon branched out into recording music of a number of different genres. The label merged with Liberty in 1969 which was shut down in 1971. After successful years in the 1970s, especially in the Jazz and Mainstream Pop branches, United Artists Records was bought by UA executives Artie Mogull and Jerry Rubinstein from the holding company Transamerica in 1979. When United Artists Records lost the distribution deal with Jet Records and with it the whole sales of the Electric Light Orchestra in the same year, the company was swallowed by the EMI Group. EMI revived the Liberty label in 1980, transferred all UA-Artists and closed down the label in the same year. Labelcode: LC 0379 Between 1960 and 1962 there also existed the United Artists "Ultra Audio" series (not a sub-label), aimed at stereophiles.

It'll > never happen, but it's a nice thought. Yeah, and the drum machine sounds on _Under Wraps_ are as dated as anything else one might care to mention. But, as in the case of the '80s HW albums, I think that -- well beyond just sorting the drums sounds -- a general re-producing of the album is what would be called for. On the other hand, _Under Wraps_ sounds generally much like what it is: a proggy-rocky dalliance in synth pop technology. The stupendously dated drum sounds are really just part and parcel of the package. In contrast, Hawkwind's _CotBS_ sounds more like a straight-up rock band with stupendously dated production. You could drag the rock band back out of the CotBS by re-producing/re-mixing the album, but I don't think one could do that with _Under Wraps_, no matter how hard you set Doane Perry to try; you could re-record all the songs with rock arrangements (and there are some perfectly all-right songs on there) for what that was worth, but you would need to re-record more, I think, than just the drums. Meanwhile, B?C's _Revolution by Night_ and _Club Ninja_ just seem -- with a few notable exceptions sprinkled through the tracklist -- a bit tired and directionless. Other than the usual complaint of too much sheen and polish on recordings that were drifting into AOR anonymity, the sound on the albums was respectable enough (nothing like as egregiously eightified as CotBS). Some perfectly rocking stuff was being recorded at the time (e.g. Mot?rhead, Dio-era Sabbath -- though I've never really warmed to the _live_ recordings I've heard/seen of early-'80s Dio-era Sabbath; the studio stuff is solid enough. On the Black & Blue live video, though, I readily choose B?C!), but it was (generally) not being recorded by B?C on _Revolution by Night_ and _Club Ninja_. There is a reason that FoTU was the last Top 40 B?C album. The production for _Imaginos_ -- many headed beast that it is, with a lengthy and oft-interrupted gestation -- is certainly also a product of its time (and what Sandy Pearlman thought he could do with it at that time), but at least sits reasonably honourably amongst other works from the period. Under (very) different circumstances it could have been ... well, it could have been the album that we imagine it to be. :) Cheers, Carl PS - Heh, I only just recently learned that some of the _Imaginos_ basic tracks were recorded in Port Jefferson, LI. I grew up in Stony Brook, and knew PJ well! 'Course, I was 11 when those basic tracks were being recorded, and still only 16 when the eventual album was actually released! ;) -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/ From des at EFALKMEDIA.COM Tue Jul 10 16:46:02 2012 From: des at EFALKMEDIA.COM (Eric Falk) Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:46:02 -0400 Subject: BOC: Kasim Sulton joins Message-ID: From MSN Music News: Blue Oyster Cult bassist Rudy Sarzo has quit the group to join another band.The musician was drafted into the line-up in 2007 but has now left to pursue other projects.

Well, that's good to know. :) But, yeah, I mean: I don't to be understood to mean that Blue Coupe is not suffused with passion or being done by guys without passion! Not at all! :) Just that different projects seem oriented towards different kinds of ends and goals and even means -- and "Blue Coupe" (who, from the stuff I've managed to get ahold of, seem very cool and the live shows particularly are probably great, not that I've seen them in person) and "Imaginos" and the "The Brain Surgeons" all seem (to me) like different projects and so naturally oriented towards different kinds of things. And, hey, I _always_ am looking forward to what comes next! :) Hey, I mean, even if Buck and Eric came along and said "We're gonna do a duo album of smooth jazz covers", it'd be like, "Well, all right; let's hear it then." :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/ From cea at CARLAZ.COM Thu Jul 12 11:08:03 2012 From: cea at CARLAZ.COM (Carl Edlund Anderson) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:08:03 -0500 Subject: BOC 2012 In-Reply-To: <2142405978.1883550.1342070704893.JavaMail.root@sz0074a.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net> Message-ID: On 12 Jul 2012, at 00:25 , Jason C.

That's a good approach to take on the 1st album or the 50th. :) Hey, Mot?rhead may be doing pretty much the same thing they-ve always been doing, but they continue to do it very well. I actually like a lot of the recent Iron Maiden and the Bruce Dickinson solo albums (those, admittedly, now from 10-15 years ago!) better than the band's "classic" period. My semi-obscure faves, Amorphis, unexpectedly resurrected themselves after a dodgy patch 10-12 years ago (when I had pretty much given up on them) and have since produce a string of albums which I now (with increasingly less grudgingness!) will admit to liking better than their initial "classic" albums of the early '90s. The new doesn't always end up killing me: the recent Ian Anderson TAAB2 is better than the last few relatively insipid Tull albums (now themselves pretty old!) but it didn't instantly blow me away either; it was a good effort, though, and a step in the right direction. Latter-day/current Hawkwind has been, at best IMO, pretty hit or miss (with perhaps more miss, and the hits not that forceful, but, well, whatever). I still like The Beatles, but the relatively little in the solo stuff (which started coming before I was born, I think, if not by much) does much for me. ;) But people who go out with the the intention "We're gonna make something AWESOME" (for whatever definition of "AWESOME") surely have a much better chance of achieving it than those without that intention. :) > I always had the feeling that Tornado on the Tracks was a happy accident, an > introduction of sorts, and we'd be hearing more in time.

Message-ID: An X1.4 solar flare (that's a biggie) let off yesterday. The blast should hit Earth's magnetoshpere tomorrow and odds are good for aurorae tomorrow night (or Sunday night if it's moving slower than expected). The last time there was one this big, aurorae were seen in Madrid and California, so you don't need to be in Aberdeen to see 'em. Keep an eye on spaceqeather.com to see when it hits. After that, once it's dark, the best tack (if you don't have 100% cloud) is to pop outdoors every 15 minutes and look north (look for the Pole Star). The most likely effect you'd notice is a white or green glow in the sky. Eventually it could look like moving green curtains. If you're very lucky, you could see purple or red. The every 15 minutes thing is because the Earth's magnetosphere can change quickly under pressure and let particles through, so there can be nothing one second, and glorious green skies the next.

Can I suggest that anyone who doesn't have/hasn't heard "Tornado on the Tracks" yet pop over to CDBaby check this disk out. It's got some bloody great songs on it and the more people who support this band, the greater the chance they'll continue to attempt to "blow our socks off" in the future. For me, Blue Coupe had a confused/confusing genesis - like BDS before them, the outer shell was an Alice/BOC covers band with an inner core of brimming creativity straining to burst out with new material, but constrained by audience expectations - and their own promotional stance of "we're two-thirds BOC, one third ACG" - that they must feel like they're COMPELLED to trot out DFTR and Schools Out etc at the live gigs. It's a difficult circle to square - they feel the need to trade on their past to promote their future, but how do they - at the same time - break out from that and show that they're not JUST a bloody covers band...? Calling themselves "Blue Coupe" didn't help... What WILL surely help will be the 2nd CD and I can't wait to hear it. Really enjoyed Joe's new solo LP (Tales from the Island) - again, if you haven't heard it yet, check it out!! - and there's also a new X Brothers CD about to raise its head above the digital parapet, so all-in-all, it's a going to be a Bouchard-tastic summer.

I am bored at 3 am and I am a collector. Finding that for cheap when I wasn't planning on shopping was rather fun. here are my results so far- and it has been interesting arriving at them. 2008 version (of course) NOT remastered, but it appeared that the person in charge of issuing it was claiming to have done some cheap process to it, or at least SOME kind of change? However, previous customers of Amercian Beat were indeed cautioning that there would likely be no change or anything good enough. next, it LOOKED like it is supposed to have a shortened verssion of one of the tracks (astronomy?), I can't remember, included but NOT listed. Does it?? That's all I was able to get. But the reissues I have spotted seem to be trying to attract more money still than the 1st issue. There is also at least a japanese version and by the header of that listing it would sound like there are a couple of those. I wonder how far and wide the remaster will go and if it will herald a great dump-off of the origianals. It was with great pleasure that I got to grab it as a rarity find at the very "last minute". I like that Texas is mentioned in there, regardless of how it figures in, and mexico as well. I can't read the liner notes without my glasses and I haven't got that far yet, but I did notice the booklet pages have a nice texture. cheers ps- I liked "beautiful as a foot", watched that vid.

The show with Albert was (according to senile friend Pierre), in Oklahoma, from 1974. I simply did a google search looking for that, and in the list of results I saw the Rush/Hawkwind listed. I had known that Rush used to open for Hawkwind but when I saw Nebraska I thought it souned a bit weird, since hawkwind have NEVER come here. I did NOT click on any of the links because all I really wanted to do was mention the pic. I will search it again now Further, in no way did I mean to imply that Hawkwind needed a mention, nor that I would not love to have seen that show in Oklahoma, has I been old enough not to be frightened. I was simply a huge Rush fan before they got haircuts.

The Hawkwind concert (with Rush) IS on that link, it just takes a second look and was in Nebraska, home to some "interesting people" (and probably nice geography) However, the BOC show that I have a picture of, was in Oklahoma, and according to my friend's best attempt at memory was in 74 at the OK city state fair. I did in fact try to find it and can't, and since tried to complain a bit more to my friend who now says it MIGHT have been 73 and it "sure seems like ZZ would have been the headliner" but Pierre does not have the best memory, and he was playing a few shows back then and also apprently some others with BOC. I even caught my own memory slipping with Thin Lizzy yesterday, who I saw in 79 but had remembered it more like 82. sorry folks, really!!! But the pic does showcase Albert, which is kinda cool From kirthgersen at HOTMAIL.CO.UK Thu Jul 26 09:54:50 2012 From: kirthgersen at HOTMAIL.CO.UK (Ralph) Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:54:50 -0400 Subject: "nice" ass Albert Message-ID: Thanks for the extra info, Mike - I've "sellotaped" your posts together and posted the result here: http://www.hotrails.co.uk/history/1974.htm#OSF_74 I hope my somewhat clumsy aggregation of your comments is OK - let me know, if not... and if there's ever any more info your mate remembers, please let me know...

Flickr... > facebook...something like that? > Dear Ralph, Gary etc.... Please believe me, that I regret mentioning the non-BOC show in this thread!!! I had a look at your site Ralph (quickly), and it is nice!! I am pretty sure I had Secret Treaties on cassette years ago, and I will want it again..... ansers to your question 1) Yes I thought of that, my friend Paul is overdue to come get something from me and he is my "computer guy" whom should be able to take the image and put it up. I have some Hawkwind-related images hosted on the UK forum, although those are photos he took, and I guess this needs a scan? It is faded but you can sure tell it must be at the OK city state fairgrounds 2) Didn't look at the comments yet but it's okay..... I am really sorry that Pierre didn't make a better point to document his activity, but as I sit here typing it also occurs to me that he hung onto this photo ALL THESE YEARS and we have spoke of it MANY TIMES. (because Albert is on here). It seems like he would actually remember fairly correctly......I though he had said there was at least another show with BOC, but as of last night it didn't sound that way....he got to open for Trower and some others...

Since it seems to be from your favorite year, I'll give it to you next time I go to post office (likely around 17th of next month), since I see you are not in USA. You're going to need reading glasses!!! It's just a faded polaroid snapshot. (but still cool, IMO) sorry all the fuss.
