Hi. I have just finished reading the excellent Out Bloody-Rageous by Alan Bennett. This is the Soft Machine biography from 2005 based on interviews with the band and others. Both in that bio and in Wikipedia; Alive & Well is regarded as a studio album. This album was meant as a live album with new material because the band could not afford studiotime (or could not be bothered). Four dates in Paris was set up. The recording was a fiasco (faulty equipment) so the material was re-recorded in studio anyway. That include a brand new composition entirely recorded in studio. The material is also brand new and does not figure in any other studio albums. Should this album be re-classified as a studio album between Rubber Riff and Land Of Cockayne ? |
