Nothing here has ever been commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
Taped with permission of the artists.
Corrections welcome. If pitch is still incorrect, email me & maybe I'll get around to fixing it. I use a pitch pipe, check 3-4 songs & when in doubt compare 1-2 songs on a time-appropriate album, but sometimes I'm off. If Dolby was present, it was dealt with as I saw fit.
Cool Sonics Series CSS-002. Here's one for Bert whom we will never forget. Many lives & ears were bettered by your having been on the planet. First outing for a direct to digital transfer from the master analog cassette. Super quality & first class music. 3/5th's of the original Pentangle in fine form. My feeling during these Pentangle and related shows was always one of great contentment! Where else would I have wanted to be? I can't say they completely suprised me very often, nor tore off my head like a fine rock event, they just dropped me into their groove from the first notes and time went on hold. More recordings on the way. Alas, up until September 2011, I suffered from SERIOUSLY slow internet access (hence my lousy ratio). I am fixing that as fast as I can, now that I am able. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.
Since we're all gettin' older & reminiscin' is in vogue... Kudos to: Zongo for life support & Lochner for microphones & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for running Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks & supporting my 1980's 20+ cassette-a-day habit (4 machines at home just weren't enough)! Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading, friendship (+ frau introductions!). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Moore, Miller & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... And royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Dean Parrish (how are ya dude?) & all those traders who housed & fed me through my many music acquisition & travel years. Steppin' back to the seeds - hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Ena Whisnant (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. A glass is raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & am much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift.
Support the artists and/or their families!
