Advertised on Amazon.com as due 10 Mar, there's John Wetton and the Les Paul Trio live, New York Minute: Live at the Iridium, New York, 2013 and another release, entitled The Studio Recordings Volume 1 Anthology. Anyone know more about these?

Apparently, Henry, if you go and look at http://johnwetton.com/ , it has all the details there. Duh!Originally Posted by bondegezou
So, anyway, I think I've got all or nearly all of Wetton's solo albums, so I'm less interested in the anthology, but the live album could be interesting. Tracks:
1. DO IT AGAIN
2. WHAT’S GOING ON?
3. GOD ONLY KNOWS
4. CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
5. NEW YORK MINUTE
6. ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
7. LADY MADONNA
8. HEAT OF THE MOMENT
9. BATTLE LINES

I was at the Iridium show, and it was really fun to hear Wetton sing these songs that influenced him... It was *very* different from what I was expecting, and I'm jazzed to see it get an official release.

Just received both releases and they are fantastic. I'm very impressed with both and are much better than I anticipated. The Anthology CD sound is amazing and is an improvement over the original releases. The Anthology CD also contains some interesting information about the creation of the albums and John's expectations in terms of commercial success. He thought Battle Lines was going to be a big success but his record company screwed it up. I was hoping there would be a few songs from Wetton/Manzanera but there are not. Seeing John with UK in NYC next month! Can't wait.
I also bought the Steve Howe Anthology which is pretty good as well.
Wasn't there a video of Wetton w/the Les Paul trio - a live stream, IIRC? I remember watching it, and it was pretty cool.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Just based on the presence of other 'standards' in the list, then presumably "Do It Again" is a Steely Dan cover and not the Wetton/Manzanera tune by the same name?
You are correct. SD version and not the W/M.
