Which SM album had a critic comparing them to the Four Freshmen?
Don't know this one, but I know that Acid has
a reputation for making people "see sounds and hear colours", so that
might explain somone mistaking instrumental music for 4-part
vocalisations...
Volume 2
unbelievably. When the album eventually got released in the UK (what,
about 6 months afterits release in the USA? _ The first
album on vinyl was never released accept as twoforone package several
years later), there several critical reviews that strongly suggested
that several critics had'nt heard the album because the
complete inaccuracies reported. I saved one from the music industry
magazine Record Retailer, which was just plain bollo***
Which Jimi Hendrix album track has Robert Wyatt providing the backing vocals?
3. Sunrise - Eire Apparent. OK, that's cheating, but Jimi plays guitar and Robert does backing vox on "The Clown".
Thanks for that one, I'll pass it on. But in fact....
Apparently on the album version of Stone Free,
Wyatt and Hopper provide the backing vocals, but I'm told they are not
credited - Chas Chandler was manager to both Hendrix and Machine at
that time, and produced that album. I guess they are not on the
single version of Stone Free
because as monaural recording it wouldn't need the dynamics
of a stereo recording (???)- and back then stereo and mono recordings
could be different recording sessions.
Which Robert Wyatt recording has Jimi Hendrix playing bass?
"Slow Walkin' Talk" in the October 1968 T.T.G.
sessions, also released on the Hendrix CD "Calling Long Distance" in
1992, "Flotsam and Jetsam" in 1994 and Canterburied sounds Vol. 3 in
1998.
Yes!!
Who introduced Robert Wyatt to the 'delights'
of a shot of tequilla followed by a shot of Southern Comfort,
followed by a shot of tequilla followed by etc......, and Wyatt claims the insertion of a single malt whisky into that drinks cycle, lead him to believe he could fly from a 4th floor window?
Keith Moon, according to Wyatt on his BBC 4 documentary last year.
Heh! I've never found a single malt that does that, but LSD might... 
Sorry, out of answers for now - I knew about the Hendrix recordings, but I know next to nothing about Wyatt...
<>Wyatt's biography Wrong Movements
by Michael King (pub SAF, UK and apparently through Consortium Book
Sales in the USA) is an excellent if qwerky source. (However, don't
hold your breath if you order it, I had to wait 5 months after ordering
it because it was out of print). The forthcoming Soft Machine
biography by Graham Bennett - I have the advantage of proof
reading it at the moment, hence picking up these snippets - it is a
great piece of research and writing.
