Subject: Archival recordings of Gowen, NH and Delivery
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 09:43:05 CST
[In WR#135, twostools <utwo@twostools.com> asks:]
>This is a general calling out to see if anyone knows
of early Alan

"Sunship" being
>available?
>How about live recordings of Gilgamesh (BBC
Broadcasts?) or more live
>Hatfield and National (aside from Missing Pieces).
I know that Gilgamesh did at least one BBC appearance and
somewhere some years ago someone I knew had a copy. So at least it
exists.
There are a number of tapes of National Health live in
various contexts in circulation. I think John Diliberto and
Kimberly Haas of Echoes probably still have a master recording of
a 1979 tour broadcast of the 4 piece lineup with Gowen I saw that
was broadcast on WXPN in Philadelphia. Perhaps this could be
coaxed into a release with appropriate permissions. I've also
heard an excellent copy of a 1979 Boston area show (Toad's ???)
that I think Michael Clare with Daevid Allen's University of
Errors may know of the whereabouts of a soundboard master of that
show. And I've seen and heard a half dozen or so other National
Health live tapes that are in circulation on various tape trading
lists.
As far as Sunship (Gowen, Muir, Holdsworth and ???), a few
years ago I asked Steve at Cuneiform to try to ask Alan's widow if
there might be any recordings. Steve said he'd pass the request
through Hugh Hopper and I never heard anything more about it, so I
presume there are none or that release of such is unlikely. I
think Holdsworth was aware of interest in this too, but given his
harsh dislike for bootlegs and his apparent distate for other
releases of his early work I suspect that even if recordings exist
that Allan H. would prefer they never resurface.
Not Gowen related, but I am also aware of a very
interesting recording of Delivery in 1971, all instrumental, that
includes versions of Phil Miller songs that showed up later in
Matching Mole and/or Hatfield. The copy I heard had fairly bad
quality but amazes me because it hints at Matching Mole, Hatfield
and National Health and seems to predate them all, in an all
instrumental lineup showcasing Steve and Phil Miller. It seemed to
foreshadow National Health in choice of musical direction. I
recall it being quite different than the vocal oriented work with
Carol Grimes and I'd be happy to try to put Steve@Cuneiform in
touch with a copy of this (or further leads on the NH 1979 shows)
to see if it's worth pursuing further as an archival release. I
really think it deserves to be heard by more people and it is
apparently also in circulation in some archival trading
collections.

[The only thing I know for sure on all the above-mentioned
material is that Laurie Baker (bassist in Sunship) intends to
release some Sunship recordings on a compilation of his past work
which he plans to release this year. More information can be found
in the interview I conducted with him a few months ago -
http://www.alpes-net.fr/~bigbang/musicians/lauriebaker.html.
Sunship was mainly a trio formed by Alan Gowen, Laurie Baker and
Jamie Muir. Holdsworth was only briefly a member, as were others
(mainly singers), but not ex-Soft Machine member Lyn Dobson,
contrary to what has often been written. Dobson played with Gowen
and Muir in a parallel, probably unnamed rehearsal group - AL]

Not a bad idea - relatively little of the Mother's Club is
used on "Facelift" on Third. But you are assuming that the tapes
for this show [& other shows of the same tour which Bob
Woolford may or may not have taped] still exist, when, in
fact, they seem to be lost. Bob very kindly lent me ALL of his
tapes relating to Soft Machine, & the Mothers Club show
[and any others he may have made, other than the Jan. 10th, 1970
University College show, which has REALLY BAD sonic problems &
CAN NOT be used] are definitely not there & must be assumed to
no longer exist.

Subject: REBELA statement
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 15:09:08 +0100
Q : "Are you ever going to finish the
'Rebela' CD".
I always have had very firm plans for Rebela.
The kind assurances of Jeremy and his willingness for me
to co-opt his (very real) engineering talents and equipment; when
he has the time, have allowed me to make more of a break in the
final stages of production.
Also my own need to earn some kind of living from Music
has meant time away from the project. Which actually on a piece of
this size is good for one's overall creativity, (but not
essential, of course).
The passing of Lady June coming in the middle of the Gong
US tour was a blow; which meant that I have had to take even more
time out in the end stages of the production. More for myself than
anything else. (I need a very objective outlook to mix the 2 CD
versions; one with all the dialogue and another CD with more
instrumental soloing)
I have always been unwilling to rise to other people who
have asked if I have a time frame in which to finish the record.
Even at the expense of their expectations (and comments). I have
always been purposefully evasive. Rebela is too important a
story to compromise: in any way. I think a few others have been
impatient for a conclusion of this production. Understandable, as
very many Musicians; and their commitment musically, are on it.
But; I have to be true to my promise to Lady June to do the best I
can with her story; or 'fantasy autobiography' as we have dubbed
it.
Finance is also an issue in finishing Rebela.
I have funded all of this production personally, and that
means not only my, (and my Family's), time; but also hardware,
recording time etc. etc.
I will travel to Toronto and possibly New York in the
Autumn; Jeremy and I will mix; and master the recordings in his
own studio environment. This will give me; as the Composer and
Producer, the objective outlook I require to finish this
production.
As I have said before "Jeremy Darby has the best ears I
have ever heard".

Subject: Soft Machine
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 11:37:46 EDT
Can anyone out there help ? In the early 80's there was a
show on the USA network I think was called Up All Night and
they ran cult type movies and concerts of bands not in the
mainstream. Somewhere about 1983-84 I was up at 5
a.m. for whatever reason and on more than 1 ocasion I saw
a tape of a live Soft Machine show,having never seen the beginning
or end to this show I do not know when it is from,it had the sound
of the mid 70's to very early 80's. What I would like to know does
any one else know of this show and if so is it available anywhere.
All I remember about it is I was amoazed that Soft Machine was on
American T.V. and of how great it sounded,they were doing long
songs with that Jazz-Fusion fell of Bundles and Alive and
Well-Recorded in Paris. Any info would be appreciated.

Very honoured that Nick thinks Going Going
worth 'tributing'. But we never did any of the songs he
mentions-except 'Grey and Pink' which Rich sang. Mostly we did my
and Hugh's new songs; plus one of Andy Ward's I can provide an old
set list and Music manuscripts but I would suggest his band struck
out on their own and concentrate on their own material rather than
copying old songs.

Dixie Dregs Reunite for New Album and Tour Zebra Records -
8/8/1999 at 19:21:04
After seven years, a Dixie Dregs reunion featuring the
classic 1979 line-up: Steve Morse (guitar), T Lavitz (keyboards),
Rod Morgenstein (drums), Allen Sloan (violin) and Andy West (bass)
was announced this week. Also participating are Dregs members from
the most recent line-up, bassist Dave LaRue and ex-Mahavishnu
Orchestra violinist Jerry Goodman. The Dregs will play
Palookaville in Santa Cruz on August 23rd, Slim's in San
Francisco, August 24th & 25th and at the Roxy Theatre in Los
Angeles on August 26, 27 and 28th.
The Roxy Theater shows will be recorded in preparation for
a mid-November release on Zebra Records. In support of the
forthcoming album, a full-fledged Dregs tour is being considered
for early next year with the band eager to play again for their
long-time devotees. Dixie Dregs manager Frank Solomon comments,
"This will be a party not to be missed. We are all excited and
grateful that Zebra Records and Ricky Schultz will be recording
the 'bash' for all of our fans to experience."
One of the top jazz-rock fusion ensembles ever, the Dixie
Dregs helped redefine contemporary instrumental music, releasing
eight albums, six of which garnered Grammy nominations. The Dregs
made their major label debut in 1977 with Free Fall, followed by
the artistically successful What If and released albums annually
until they disbanded in 1982. Two albums were subsequently
released in 1992 and 1993. Zebra Records President, Ricky Schultz
adds "It may sound cliché, but, we are honored to be working with
one of THE legendary instrumental groups. The return of the Dregs
is exciting news for fusion fans everywhere."
After the break-up, Morse, who has been recognized by
Guitar Player Magazine as one of the all-time great guitarists,
formed the Steve Morse Band, joined Kansas and has been the
guitarist in Deep Purple since 1995. The rest of the band also
kept busy with Morgenstein joining pop-metallists Winger while
Lavitz, Sloan and West recorded various side projects. In 1992, a
brief reunion occurred with the release of Bring 'em Back Alive
and by 1994, the Dregs had once again called it quits. Most
recently, Lavitz joined jamband Jazz Is Dead and when drummer
Billy Cobham left the band earlier this year, he contacted his old
bandmate Morgenstein to fill in. Currently, the two are in the
midst of a U.S. tour in support of Jazz Is Dead's sophomore
release Laughing Water.
Morse, Lavitz, Morgenstein, Sloan, and West: together
again for more Nights of the Living Dregs. It's time to whistle
"Dixie" in celebration of the fusion event of the year. For more

Subject: Harvest Festival
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 10:25:50 +0100
I thought readers should be aware of a rather nice
collectors item now available in the UK (and possibly elsewhere)
which I purchased at the weekend. "Harvest Festival" is a 5 CD
boxed set in a 12" coffee table book format, which includes around
120 pages of text and colourful illustrations. The concept behind
it is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Harvest records, which
was in the UK, EMI Records' progressive music label.
Artists signed to EMI at the time who were moved onto, or
signed directly to, Harvest at that time included Kevin Ayers
(with and without the Whole World), Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, Edgar
Broughton, Deep Purple, Pete Brown (and his Battered Ornaments or
Piblokto) and later (the tail end of) Soft Machine to name but a
few.
This boxed set contains around 100 tracks over the 5 CDs,
that's approximately 6 hours of music. There are no less than 8
Kevin Ayers tracks including Interview, Song from the Bottom of a
Well and Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes. Also, a Kevin Ayers
interview which I had not seen before, is transcribed in the
coffee table book. There is also text about Soft Machine.
Throughout the book the lavish illustrations portray many, if not
most of the 'classic' Harvest album covers, including a full page
Joy of a Toy cover. This album set is probably a must for all
serious Canterbury 'anoraks' because despite the likelihood of
having many of the Kevin Ayers tracks already, there are so many
tracks in the set which I for one never even heard and many of
which are deeply nostalgic of that 1968-1972-ish progressive
period. The pictures and text are wonderful in their own right.
Not cheap, it's around £50 in the UK, it is nevertheless
in my opinion worth tracking down. One additional rather nice
touch is that the specially commissioned artist illustrations on
the back and front covers of the book feature some of the famous
Harvest musicians of the time, including very prominently on the
front cover Kevin Ayers.
Cheers
Roger Farbey

Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 09:25:35 -0400
Dear Rattlers,
Further to a recent mail in WR. I can confirm the
Voiceprint position on MPGE3.
It is our intention to have MP3 and Real Audio files on
our site (http://www.voiceprint.co.uk) by the end of the year.
Our aim is to carry at least one track from all the titles
we carry in this format. The down loads will be FREE. This is an
attempt for you the music lover to "try before you buy". To get a
feel for what you are in store for before you part with your hard
earned money. Also, it is a great why to hear new music you which
might of passed you by.
There are going to be other great developments on our site
over the coming months.
So check it out !
Rob.
PS: Watch out for Phil Manzaneras new CD it features
Robert Wyatt on 8 tracks, he even plays trumpet again !

Subject: Live Health
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:51:35 -0400
This is a letter sent to the entire Canterbury/Calyx
audience. Not exactly a poll per se, but a general investigation
as to whether my thoughts are agreeable in consensus.
It has come to my attention through many correspondence
with National Health and Gilgamesh fans that releasing a CD
package of live dates would be widely appreciated. We feel it
important that a band like National Health, with its almost unique
kind of music (probably only Hatfield and the North and Gentle
Giant may rank beside them in written chamber music for
rockensemble), should have live recordings released as a piece of
musical history. Regardless of the troubles they had on tour with
equipment and audiences.
There isn't any doubt that a live performance, with the
energy it can attain and even with it's flaws intact, can make the
best package for listening. I have maintained that the Canterbury
scene as a whole is a jazz environment and truly allows for
improvisation, especially in live venues, with all its highs and
lows showing. As such, an entire show start to end is the apex of
any touring bands reason to exist. Just listen to any of Art
Blakey and the Jazz Messengers cavalcade of live releases and it's
easy to see that their forte of performing was revealed during
live dates. Of the tapes I have heard, I hold that this is true
for National Health as well. They did shine before an audience.
Thus, amongst the throngs of enthusiasts amongst you are
recordings of National Health (and perhaps Gilgamesh too) that
would be intriguing to have made available for our listening
pleasure. Not to mention the historic signifigance of them as
well. Recordings from the BBC and other radio stations in Europe
and America which would compile an excellent package. There is no
point on choosing between shows - the best shows with a certain
repertoire should be released in its entirety. There's no point in
releasing every show of a certain tour, of course, but here we
even talk different tunes and different lineups.
The 1979 tour with the Alan Gowen lineup (with Pyle,
Greaves, and Miller too) release would be ideal in its novelty and
historic value. The WXPN broadcast in Philadelphia was a fine show
as was the Boston (from Toad's?). The 1979 4-piece lineup has a
better potential market too - it's a stripped down version of the
band, also we think Alan Gowen's last tour, and it's likely to
have significantly different workings of the material than
anything on Missing Pieces. Also worth mentioning is the London
School of Economics, 1976 about 75 minutes in length. While it has
popped up in pieces, the whole show ought to be put out on CD - it
is brilliant!
(On an different note, regarding the Sunship, wouldn't
that be a wonderful slice of musical history to resurrect! I could
only hope that Mrs. Gowen-Biddulph would have the rights and
permission to release this grouping (if there's any on tape-studio
or live) to those of us who "missed the ship" in its original
passing. It'd be a shame to hold back this early work that would
be fascinating to hear the young and energetic Alan Gowen and
Allan Holdsworth from such an early point in their development.)
And there you have it. To see a live career-span of shows
in a package or series of packages for National Health (and I must
include Gilgamesh as well) would be great! Another concept would
be an Alan Gowen career package in tribute to his gifts in
composing and his performing skills with live dates as part of its
uniqueness.
Scott
[A few comments about archive projects such as the ones
you suggest. First, while we fans are happy to discover any rare
documents, whether they sound great or terrible, provided they
have any musical interest of course, for musicians to decide to
release them and spend the necessary time to bring them to a
releasable form is not so simple. It generally requires high
studio costs to clean up the tapes, remix them when possible, etc.
Then there's whether all musicians involved agree that their
performance is worth releasing (and more generally a lot of
clearance work, particularly in the case of BBC recordings, to
ensure the resulting release is totally legal). And lastly some
musicians are unwilling to trade on their past glories, to the
point of sometimes possibly underestimating the value of some of
the unreleased stuff. So *YES*, there is a lot of stuff of
interest in the archives, but whether all of it is up to the
necessary musical and technical standards remains to be seen. I'm
sure what deserves to be released will eventually be - AL]

Hi Rattlers,
I am very sorry to hear of Dick Crouch's death.
When I moved to London, in the mid-eighties, Dick's house
in Ealing was my first address. We didn't always get on, but he
helped me a great deal by letting me sit in with Paz, and he
introduced me to many musicians.
Dick was a great jazz enthusiast, and in my opinion, Paz
made an important contribution to British jazz.
