RIP #michaeltilsonthomas Almost no one mentions his and maestro #johnmclaughlin #michaelgibbs and #georgemartin (see picture) collaboration on Apocalypse. But when talking about "anglosaxon symphonic" music in the 20th century, #mahavishnu remains important I think, just as much as all the cage and feldman and all the stravinsky work. That totally unironic, 70s megalomaniac character, its almost like a Howard Hughes style mad scientist/entrepreneur project goes Symphony.

The Beatles, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, 1977 on Capitol

Recorded in 1964 and 1965, restored by George Martin for release in 1977, and then re-released in 2016 with four additional tracks and fully remastered by Giles Martin as Live At The Hollywood Bowl. It’s been out of print for a long time so I was happy to find a copy in the used market.

If you’ve seen many Beatles documentaries you’ve heard how difficult it was for them to play live in this era, not being able to hear themselves over the crowd.

George Martin and Geoff Emerick basically did the best they can from the original three track tapes and polished them, editing together two different performances. It’s not the quality you expect from a modern live recording, but it is a rare Beatles live album. I’ve not compared the 2016 edition on vinyl, but it is available on streaming services and sounds somewhat improved.

My copy—via Vinyl Vault in Little MA—is a Winchester pressing with the title and ticket graphics embossed on the sleeve.

Tin Man

Remembering George Martin through this classic from America.

“But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad”
