Trees : Third Album... Demos (hood CD).
This is the Trees Live boot LP, without the applause dubbed on. It's a little easier on the ear. If we take this as evidence, a third album would have been wonderful. The voice has a more 'rock' edge, and the guitars sound more powerful, though it's still folky material. |

I saw Echo in Hull , December 1991 , at the Adelphi Les and Will were fantastic , no idea on the Pete replacement , and as for Noel ......well I'd take Ian on an atrocious night , in fact I'd have preferred instrumentals over Noel

Well everyone should see Echo and the Bunnymen in their own hometown at least once before they die, eh? Will's a darling, but let's hope Ian behaves himself (and feels like singing properly)...

The Alan Parsons Project - Tales Of Mystery & Imagination
It came out in 1976, so must have been about 6 years old when I first heard it (the first thing I owned by APP), and it has been a favourite ever since. I think I'll put on Eye In The Sky next, which was the first APP album I bought as it came out. The six years between the two albums seemed a long time back then, but looking back it was just a blink! |

Trees : The Garden of Jane Delawney (Sony BMG CD, 2008). Not a wonderful sounding disc, but such a great record from a mini legend of folk rock. You get some bonus stuff including 2008 recordings. The boxed set has everything, for those who want it. I wonder if anyone saw the On the Shore band a few years ago? I had a ticket for it, but then got ill. A great regret. The box set on CD is essential for any fan of the band. That's bad luck. I wish i'd been there. The vinyl boxed set is pretty near flawless as to content and quality. I'e had every reissue of both albums, almost, and am now down to my CBS On the Shore and the boxed set. If the former hits Nick Drake level as to price, i may sell it. :-) It would be amazing if some high quality live material surfaced- i'm not counting the pseudo - live Trees Live boot. I'm fairly certain there was an interview with DC and maybe others around the release of the box, and they explicitly stated there wasn't any decent live material...but I might be misremembering that. I read the booklets in the 2007/2008 CDs for the first time in a while. No mention of live material in the vaults, and one interview is with David Costa. I'll have a look at the boxed set booklet tonight. It may be different as to content. I felt inexplicably nostalgic and sad reading those stories again . I was barely an adult in 1970, and didn't really notice music till 1971,after which it was a slow landslide of awareness which didn't stop for a long time. Those fine creative, optimistic young people created something very special, which sank into obscurity for decades, and by some miracle or accident resurfaced . Al Stewart quoted Kurt Vonnegut: 'I was the victim of a series of accidents, as are we all' . David's 'obscurity' involved a very successful career as a graphic designer (he worked on numerous famous album covers)... I wasn't thinking about an interview in the booklets - one of the mags, I think...may even have been the earlier Flashback piece |
