Cool Sonics Series CS-075 ::: Thanks to the original taper, Reel Master Gaule! He done it good & it sounds real nice even after all these years. ::: Corrections welcome :::
Another one for Bert! The FINALLY re-formed original Pentangle debuted at the 1982 Cambridge Folk Festival, but sadly without Terry Cox, as he had broken his arm in a car accident. We only get 3 songs here, but Danny Thompson sounds great & like he's working hard to fill in for Terry! Really too bad they didn't broadcast the rest of the set, 'cause this is great. Must be some audience tapes out there! This is one of the biggest moments in Pentangle history in many respects - the royal folk family returned to their thrones after a decade's absence. There is not much to be had from this vintage, especially of this quality, so sip & savor it like a fine wine. I ain't kidding!

More recordings on the way. Until recently I had very slow internet access & am fixing my ratio as fast as I can, now that I am able. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.

Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for running Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Yers truly, Kneesfudd
