about

This one is quite a special performance even if you’re familiar with early In Cahoots. This would prove to be Richard Sinclair’s final appearance with the band (although he would return to guest on a couple of subsequent albums by Phil), although I suppose no one knew at the time. Coincidentally (or not), this includes an unusual amount of singing by Richard, including Robert Wyatt’s lyrics to Calyx (including some hilarious ad-libbing when his mic malfunctions – spot the variation!) and the theme for Eastern Region as well as Second Sight. Also worthy of mention is a truly mammoth version of Nowadays A Silhouette, an interesting finale to Kandoo and some outstanding synth soloing by Pete Lemer, most spectacularly in Final Call to well-deserved cheers from the audience.

Apart from the inevitable loss of a few seconds of music at the end of each cassette side, there were issues with one channel in a couple of brief spots that required temporarily switching to mono. The cassettes show their age at times, particularly when the saxophone is at the forefront, but overall it’s a solid recording with great dynamics – a fine testament to a memorable event.

This was undoubtedly recorded by Phil on the same hummy cassette deck as the Lille, Rotterdam and Melkweg concerts. Sorry this one has been NoNoised so heavily (it can't be repaired).

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me, it'll be the first time anyone in the band has seen a quid from it.

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
