Waaaaay back in the day, this was the one Yes record that I really dug. Come to find out that today it's the one OG Yes record that people hate. Go figure that.

The Internet is your friend if you don't want to depend on You Tube.

I think they have one locked in a wall in the basement.

My bootleg sounds like 10th generation, so God only knows... The skips...apparently there are issues with this product. I found the gaps on my PC that played as splices on my regular player...I'll live with it. Maybe download that one it from Bandcamp and rebuild the CD. It's worth it though. The music is excellent, and Huss Charles definitely had his Philly Joe chops together! Did Hank play any of these shows?

Oh, I believe you. I'm just bummed that the bootleg I got doesn't have that. But it does have artifacts of a needle drop. Any idea where THAT came from? And the three Joe Lee Wilson cuts...each has distinctly different audio qualities. So what roads did this stuff go through? It seems like more than usual!

A more careful listening says "Paul", Now, splices on The Theme,,,on my regular player I hear one if Red's last chorus, and one on Walton's last one as well. But in my PC players, there is just dead air in those spots, but the timer keeps moving and the bar lines add up regular, So I don't know wtf is actually happening with this CD. I'll live with it, but jeez....

Red is in a zone that's not unlike Mobley was around the same time, working a line instead of doing the bebop change running thing. I take it that his personal problems were always a distraction, but when he came into the clearing, it was was always worth checking out!

On my copy of the bootleg, nobody announced the drummer. The gate provided was April 07, 1967. Also included were three vocal tacks featuring Joe Lee Wilson. Each has a different audio quality. The copy of the bootleg I have has numerous indications of being a needle drop!!! The Resonance release is an infinite upgrade, even if it does not have the vocal track, which I also lik I really like Sonny Red here, like him a lot. Definitely an evolving player!

Love the cover:

Whoever it is wrapping up the set hanks Kenny, Sonny, and then after a pause, "Hoss:, which could be "Huss". Like many here, I have the bootleg that's circulated. Let me go back and play it again to see what they say there.

That's some weird shit ..

You're overdue for a rush order of carpe diem then

Try this before sending it back - RIP it to your PC and then make a burn. See if the burn plays ok. I've had this work more than a few times, even if there is NO reason why it should.

Nothing at all for #7? Not even some garbled jibbetyrjabbery effiness? Not good...

Simularryially:

I have a history of seeing similarities in album covers that maybe don't exist. But there they are anyway.

A splice or two on an old tape like that wouldn't surprise me at all. But it's common courtesy to make note of it in the annotation. But the disc itself is playing fine.

I got mine from Berkshire/BRO a few years ago.

I can read it online. But I do have a copy of We Speak Etruscan, played it just a few days ago, in fact. Held my attention!

For some reason, that looks like an earlyish Milestone cover? Sublinal, maybe?

Lee Hyla!?!?!!

All things being equal, Billy Higgins.

My tracks 6 & 7 are playing just fine, although I think there's a splice or two towards the end of the piano solo on #7? Otherwise, no problems.
