Presumably Chris is referring to the re-recording of Leig and Leif with the original lineup -Sandy +? that was mooted a while back? I thought that was mentioned here but may have been elsewhere.

I for one hope they don't. I think it would be a big mistake if they did. |

Eh? I'm not quite with you Jack, the UnConventional recording is just the Cropredy 1997 live recording (from 'The Cropredy Box') with a minute or so chopped off at the start and the end. It's exactly the same performance though...
The idea that I may have fallen out of the daft tree and hit a few branches has from time to time occurred to me... However... I have a live version which includes Rich T's fab Strat doing "Eight Miles High" rif.... I think that's the one from the Box Set... It cuts off abruptly after a couple of minutes... The other version I have heard is sans Rich T's Byrd warbling and may be studio. Are you sure RT is quoting 'Eight Miles High' and not 'Renaissance Fair' or even 'Everybody's been burned' (from the sublime 'Younger than Yesterday'...I'm at work so I can't check now but I'll give the Crop box a listen later.... Yours pedantically, Slippy,  P.S. If I'm wrong...well, I'm wrong BTW I'm off to see Barry 'The Fish - as in Country Joe -' Melton tonight with Pete Albin (ex-Big Brother - NOTE TO YOUNGER BODS: not the TV show!! The support band is some ex-Help Yourself and Man bods (I've recently discovered Help Yourself via some re-issues and they were very good indeed in a West Coasty way......Your comments please Mr Diamonds........... Slippy I shall research further when I get a mo... |

Pete Albin is not ex-Big Brother & the Holding Co...he's very much still part of the band and just completed a European tour with them 3 days ago. Enjoy the gig! |

[/quote]
Damn certain... beautiful little reference in "Wings" to "EMH"... It's specifically the neat little entry guitar piece from The Lord of Rickenbacker, Jim McGuinn...
Booger me... barry Melton.... Used to rate him as a geetar player about the time I was first listening to young Thommo... A bit to self-consciously hippy for my speed but Electric Music was good listening on Perfumed Garden...
All the best!

[/quote] Actually, you are both correct (surprise!). The open guitar parts of Wyngs are directly borrowed from the opening riffs of Renaissance Fair from YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY. A mandolin on Wyngs plays the jingle jangle guitar part. If you listen to both tracks side by side, you'll find that they are identical. The theme is repeated before each new verse. However, after Ashley sings the first part of the opening verse, RT plays a distinct Eight Miles High riff. So both of you are right! |

Well spotted that man!! However, I was there and I can't remember anyone playing mandolin on Wings - was it Peggy?? (as Ashley was on bass) Cheers, Slippy |

More likely RT and special effects. He can do anything with that Strat, y'know  |

Perhaps I was mistaken about it being a mandolin......sure sounds like one, though. |

Yes, there will be a CD for the Winter tour - but it won't be a 2CD set of Cropredy 2007 for obvious reasons.....
Hence my suggestion that the live Cropredy 2007 (and they'd be mugs for there NOT to be a live release!) will be the 2008 offering....

Now what on earth is this all about? Looks live from the tracklisting, but does anyone know any more?
