I can confidently say it was the loudest bass I have EVER heard. And it must be remembered :- that I am half deaf any way through spending some years sitting in front of 2 Marshall bass cabs - and - I have seen Motorhead !!!! Anyone who ever saw Lemmy might know what I mean ! Loudest I ever heard was Jack Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yep, I saw Cream every time they came to the West Midlands including such refined venues as :- Willenhall Baths, The Swan at Yardley and The Adelphi in West Brom. He was loud but nothing like Bootsy - it actually became discordant (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just discovered an interesting YouTube channel: Telefunken Studios Live From The Lab. It's a bunch of live performances by (mostly unknown) artists, broadly in the Americana genre (folk, country, rock, soul, etc.) But what's different about it is that you can download the performances (without having the paid version of YT) as a set of individual stem tracks. You can then load them into your DAW and do your own remixes - or (what occurred to me) sample the drum tracks to make your own loops. Fun stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Quote Our new vinyl pressing service streamlines the financing, production, and fulfillment of vinyl records. With no up-front investment, an artist or label can create a vinyl campaign and start taking orders almost immediately. Once they reach their minimum goal, we press their records and ship them to their fans. The new service eliminates risk, since fans’ orders finance the pressing, rather than the artist or label. It eliminates hassle, since we press the records, print the packaging, and ship to fans (and fulfill digital too). It offers complete control, with the design and pricing up to the artist, and Bandcamp taking no ownership of the record. And it produces a quality result: our manufacturing partner has over 60 years experience pressing vinyl, so the records look, and sound, great. The Bandcamp vinyl service will open to all artists and labels later this year, but today we’re launching four pilot campaigns that provide an idea of what’s possible.

veloman Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) "Mason , Capaldi and Frog". Wonder if that is Wynder K Frog, cult keyboard player from late 60's (I think). Made a great single called Sunshine Superfrog - based on the Donovan number. And 'Bakerloo' featured Clem Clempson from Tamworth.

chrisp65 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'd got for Alexis Corner followed by Small Faces. That'd be the best £550 I've ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just noticed this ; should be Alexis Korner ! Absolute heresy on the part of the agent for getting that wrong. Very important figure of the 60's R & B scene. NB - Proper R& B - not this garbage of today called R & B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone passed through their home. Stones, Cream, Led Zepp, Small Faces and plenty, plenty others. That's impressive enough, but it doesn't touch on the US talent! Muddy Waters was his sister Sappho's godfather and the occasional Jazz giant would stop by Alexis was a fine catalyst then ambassador for the UK blues scene. It's fair to say he was rather better in these rolls than he was on guitar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
