Paradiso 69 --- the bootleg was called "William" --- love the live versions of Vol 2 material

That NH boot is good. Apparently, Mont was still in the band at that point.

So how is the remaster? Is it just a transfer from the masters or taken from vinyl or...?

I'm curious about this too. Has anyone gotten the vinyl version - is it just a digital transfer? The old Charly pressing of the record wasn't very good, so I'm skeptical about this.

Robert Wyatt - 68 - This is just an amazing release! Steve - thanks again for making this happen. This is now a certified Canterbury classic in my view. A must own.

+ 1

Picked this up last weekend & have been playing it a lot. Essential listening.

From the liner notes, I gather he first recorded the drum tacks and then layered the vocals, keyboards and whatnot afterward…decades before Cubase/Pro Tools/whatever. Truly mindboggling, but even without knowing this, it is awesome.

re: '68 and nearly all our other Canterbury archival releases.

Take a moment to silently remember Mike King and thank his memory, because he is at least partially responsible for most of them....and more.

sigh.

Amen to that.

Reading O'Dair's biography on Wyatt has made me rather restlessly anticipating this upcoming weekend's binge of Canterbury and Bowmore; I think I'll have an all-night roundup of everything Wyatt from the early Softs demos (European Rock Collection, anyone?) to that stuff he did with Atzmon (which I haven't even unsealed yet, due to not being much of a fan of the latter - great musician or not). I tend to be wasted by the time I reach 1982-1984, though, so we'll see. But the book surely refueled my obsession with him and his music. Which is a good thing.

Although not a Canterbury band, Gizmo called their label Canterbury Records when they released their third album "They're Peeling Onions In The Cellar" in 1992. And yeah, that album starts with the Caravan-cover "Policeman"!

In later years they even played with Hugh Hopper, so there must be something Canterbury about them

Personally I like their debut the best: Just Like Master Bates (We Did It On Our Own).

Missed their latest album from July this year: Marlowe's Children



I still don't think there's a lot of Canterbury in their music, but I don't mind.

Started reading L'école de Canterbury (Canterbury school) by our very own Aymeric Leroy. You guys are in for a treat when it gets translated. Only at page 200 (700+) and it is an outstanding research (I'm a historian in real life, so I tend to evaluate the book in an academic perspective). It will take awhile before it can be surpassed if it can be in terms of research and all. Brilliant and masterful
