The message from Stuart Dubois rises higher:
 I
 C>could just borrow your CDs too, I s'pose.  On tape I have _One of a
 C>Kind_ and I may have another one floating around somewhere.
 SD> LP's.  I have _Feels Good to Me_ and _Bill Bruford's Earthworks_.
Oh, OK.
 C> SD> what did you think of
 C> SD> that  Renaissance live?
 C>Well, I can't seem to get enough of "Carpet of the Sun" (truly a
 C>phenomenal song) and I like "Mother Russia" a lot too.  "Running Hard"
 C>is OK.  That's all I've listened to.
 SD> It's a good start.  Other than (maybe) the flip side, it's the best
 SD> side  they ever did.  Old Fart Story:  First I ever heard of
 SD> Renaissance was  on the campus radio station at New Mexico State (the
 SD> one you can't hear  off the campus).  They played "Carpet of the Sun".
 SD> Eventually I found  _Live_.
I can't believe that "Carpet of The Sun" wasn't some really big 70s hit.
It's fantastic.
 SD> As for Annie's voice, well, it's
 C>the best female singing voice I've ever heard.
 SD> I think Linda Ronstadt is easily as good, if not better, but I don't
 SD> like most of her music.  Annie reminds me of Olivia Newton-John
 SD> singing  for the Moody Blues.  Again, I also don't like O's music as
 SD> much as  Renaissance.
I don't know much of Newton-John except for her work in "Grease" and
"Xanadu."  At least with those two, her voice doesn't remind me of
Annie's.  Newton-John does have a good voice, though.  As for the Moody
Blues reference, I do hear that.
While we're on the subject of female vocalists, I've always thought that
Christine Perfect/McVie had a good voice -- better than Stevie Nicks.
 SD> I think I'll need to
 C>try more Renassaince.
 SD> You have a tape somewhere...too bad you don't have a tape player.
I'll give it a shot.  You did say the tape was expendable, right?
 C> C>The Beatles Anthology 3
 C> SD> Are they fully finished George Martin versions?  I'd buy the
 C> SD> Anthology just for that.
 C>Martin produced and Glyn Johns engineered the following:
 C>are "*I've Got A Feeling," "*Dig A Pony," "*Two of Us," "*For You
 SD> Blue,"
 C>"*The Long And Winding Road," "*Get Back," all of which, if I'm not
 C>mistaken, ended up on _Let It Be_ (I don't have that album).  These
 C>are all the non-Spectorized versions.
 SD> Missing trax:
 SD> Across the Universe
 SD> I Me Mine
"Across The Universe" is on the second Anthology and also a third
version is on _Past Masters, Vol II_.  "I Me Mine" *is* on the 3rd
Anthology, but I just overlooked it -- they stuck it way toward the end
with a lot of _Abbey Road_ stuff.
 SD> Dig It (expendable)
I kind of like that, but it's not much I'll agree.
 SD> Let It Be
This is on the 3rd Anthology too.  I overlooked it too.
 SD> Maggie Mae (expendable)
Um, how's that one go?  That doesn't sound familiar.
 SD> One After 909
OH yeah, that one.  I've never much cared for that, but an early version
of that was on Anthology 1.  I've also got a cover version of that by
The Smithereens.  Pretty good, actually, and they do that "Dany Boy"
thing at the end of the song too.
