Overview

40th Anniversary Box - The Road: Volumes 6-10 With DVD --- 2008

Part 2 of 40th Anniversary Box. Cardboard box with 5 discs in jewel cases and a 60-page book inside. Tracks 1-1 to 1-7 and 1-12 to 1-14 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Stockholm (the radio box says Goteborg) on May 9, 1977 and broadcast June 8 and 11, 1977. Tracks 1-9 to 1-11 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Goteborg on May 28, 1976 and broadcast July 14 and July 17. Track 1-8 was mixed up at some stage along the way and the version used was from the NDR Jazz Workshop, Hamburg concert on 26th March 1976. NOTE: After mastering this CD we realised that the version of Ottawa Song used on it was in fact from the Hamburg Radio recording; the files somehow got mixed up or mislabelled. Mea Culpa. This also means that John is not playing bass on tracks 1-9 to 1-11 - these tracks feature only Cooper, Cutler, Frith and Hodgkinson. Tracks 2-1 to 2-3 were recorded at Wandsworth Town Hall in London on February 13th 1977. Track 2-4 was recorded at De Piek in Vlissingen on May 22nd 1977. Tracks 2-5 to 2-7 were recorded at the Salle des Fetes, Chaumont on November 25th 1976. (All the above tracks were recorded, probably to cassette, by unknown audience members.) Tracks 2-8 to 2-11 were recorded at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on December 16th 1977, also most likely to cassette by an unknown audience member. Track 2-12 is an unidentified late recording, probably from Italy in May/June 1977, taken from a cassette. Tracks 3-1 to 3-14 recorded at the Sendesaal, Studio F, Radio Bremen on 22nd of March, 1978 for New Jazz Live. Transferred from the original stereo tapes. There is no track 3-12 listed on back cover. It must be the last part of 'Bremen' according to the full duration of that title shown on back cover. Tracks 4-1 to 4-4 and 4-10 (source unknown, but probably Italy, outdoors, and certainly in June or July 1978). Tracks 4-5 to 4-9 were recorded at the Rock In Opposition Festival at the New London Theatre, Drury Lane, London on March 12th 1978 on a Revox A77 with a pair of Nakamichi microphones. Track 4-11 was almost certainly recorded in Cervia on the 23rd of July, 1978. Source of recording unknown but probably a cassette made in the auditorium. DVD recorded 25th August 1976 at Vevey, Switzerland. This is the only known video recording of Henry Cow. Remastered at Studio Midi Pyrenees.
