Anyone know why i cant see Andy Travis posts ?

Agreed. Even when a band emerges after a lot of hard work with ads, auditions , etc., it's like herding cats.

Many artists have re-mastered their own work, for their own personal taste i presume, so i still think you're speaking for yourself when you say the beauty lies in the original. It surely depends on the individual and the owners of the music

You're speaking for yourself, but cant speak for others. Who knows what someone else might want to do with them. Without the stems, there's zero options

Possibly, but would they have been able to record the stems, or just the track as a whole ? An mp3 of a master is just an mp3. There's no stems to speak of so no re-mastering can be done

Daevid Allen from Gong is out front ? There's another flying teapot i didnt know

Oh well. There goes my Marshallmellow VB400. I'll be composting forthwith.

Wowser - didnt know they were still going. Not seen them since the 70's either. Should be an adventure in Kent

Definately remember Here & Now. They were a popular crew, also Hawkwind seemed to be at every festival back then. Also managed to get to Stonehenge , which i forgot about - i wonder why ?

I always find the answer to not liking anyones sale or trade prices, is to not buy it

They've all been prosecuted. Bill and his pals

That shirt is way too urgent. Also, does it have a volume control anywhere ? Sheeeesh

I'm asking Rocco to fund my holiday to Crete

Yes he was a nice chap, very pleasant on the phone Just waiting for the postie

Natch

Yup, i've been to an HA fest, and pretty much identical to your experience ... great bands, no one kicked off ( who would dare ? ) and a great time had. They know how to party, fo sho. No police needed, and indeed they were none there

I was scratching my walnut when i read the thread title. Who the hell is al solo and why would anyone call ya that ..

True ! GG, BB , MM. Well spotted sah

Festivals - bit of a lottery. The best ones i went too were the free ones. Watchfield , Windsor , but even the one pay festival i went too, Knebworth, was a hoot. A less famous free one i attended compared to the above, was a MAG festival. For those that dont know who MAG is, they're the Motorcycle Action Group. If you didnt know, you'd expect there to be appalling condition, bikers batting the shyte out of each other, riding their bikes over tents etc. Not so. The place was spotless, no litter to speak of, and any small amounts were cleared up, the toilets were the cleanest of any festival id been to, and didnt reek. I never saw one fight, and everyone was as pleasant as hell.

Only 30 mins later and Lee from ARIA has called me, he's found all the parts, and is sending them to me free, gratis. I'm stunned.

Apart from Govan and Beller, Marco Minnemann is an absolute killer drummist. He's being doing demos for many many years and also played with a stack of other musicians

Took your advice and called ARIA. Didn't know there was an ARIA UK till i had a search, but spoke to Lee and he thinks it's a long shot but they may have screws , allen screws and springs sitting in a dusty corner somewhere, but i shouldnt hold my breath. Bass is 37 years old and they dont keep spares forever, natch. He's calling back later.
