I do think they could be a bit louder than on LALC, but on the '95 disc, they seem to be loud at the expense of everything else. Just like with that new remix of Young Man Blues.

Now, what about your lack of taste?

Oh, that's well-documented. Just ask Patrick some time.

I didn't know Denis Blackham cut the Track. Interesting. He also cut Pete's Lifehouse acetates, as well as the unreleased 1970 EP. Unfortunately he apparently got rid of them.

He's a nice guy.

I think Fremer is an "audiophile" in the worst way. It was cut with tubes? Of course it has to be good!

For one thing, there's the tube cutting. The original was most likely a solid-state affair.


Bad solid-state, bad!

The opener, “Baba O'Reilly,” (Baba referring to Townshend's spiritual mentor Meher Baba, O'Reilly being the minimalist composer Terry Reilly) contained the first use of a synthesizer in rock-a cannily constructed pre-recorded loop over which comes those two famous lead-in chords on a piano of all things.


1) He can't even spell Baba O'Riley correctly.
2) The Beatles used a synth on Abbey Road in 1969.
3) It's not even a synth, but a Lowrey Organ.
4) It isn't a loop.

I'd be curious to hear this, but I honestly don't believe most of the hype that Fremer spews. "The Aftermath SACD is great!"

He can't spell Daltrey correctly either.

Once I got that far I just skimmed the rest.

I spoke with Walter Sears a year ago, and he told me he was the first to play the Moog on a recording, I think it was 63 - 64 something like that. I can't remember the title, but it will come to me. I remember being stunned when he told me the title. Or I'll shoot him an email. He was a good friend of Robert Moog.

Hell, even *Tarkus* came out slightly before Who's Next... and that's ELP's *second* album..the first famously featured a moog on 'Lucky Man'.

Then again, maybe Mikey doesnt' consider ELP to be 'rock'.
