Yes, if he'd made a couple more like that he might have got promoted to Major

Trout Mask Replica for me.

I remember when I first bought it - played it through and thought "what have I done ?" Decided to replay one track and was hooked. That LP was all I played for a couple of weeks. God bless the good Captain.

Got that one too but I could never get into it.

Ordered this at the beginning of January, finally arrived this morning... better late than never I suppose. Worth the wait? Really not sure. Value for money? Well you get 23 minutes of 'Echoes' on one side, and that's it. Just some psychedelic etching on side two. Not gatefold, just a simple sleeve, and no liner notes.



How about sound quality? Well they give it a go, half-speed mastering, and 'back-to-front' pressing (supposedly to minimise end-of-side distortion). But while the sq isn't bad, it does sound to me a bit 'closed in' and not very dynamic. Like what you might expect from a fifty year-old live recording.

Can't fault the playing though.

Sorry you weren't that taken with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. I feel responsible as I raved over the CD set:

It was recorded live at The Roundhouse. London 2019. A double CD and DVD of the performance, complete with a glossy 30 page booklet. I think it is an excellent recording and their version of Pink Floyd's tracks stand up well and IMO are equally as good as the originals.

That's the only album of his that I have. Not played it in ages, and it'll have to wait another couple of days as I'm off somewhere else till Wednesday night.

The Echoes set was recorded in Frankfurt, so not necessarily of the same standard as the Roundhouse CD/DVD set, which is still on my 'to buy' list. I will say again the Echoes set isn't bad, I was just expecting better recording-wise.

Even though this "Echoes Live" is only one side of the vinyl, that's pretty much the same for me as "Meddle", where I only ever play the Echoes side anyway.
