about

Phil’s cassette archive of In Cahoots concerts has numerous recordings from the band’s first European tour in 1984, and the fact that Richard Sinclair was playing bass in this line-up makes these especially popular with Hatfield fans, in spite of the music being very different. There is of course a heavy improvised component, and the opening “Your Root 2” is notable for an extended ‘jam’ section where Elton and Pip take the rest of the band in uncharted areas. And the rest of the gig, preserved with fine sound and good dynamics, does not disappoint, with the band in great form. This being an afternoon performance (they played an evening gig, also in Rotterdam, that same day), this is likely to be all that was played – “Final Call” and “Speaking To Lydia” are of particular interest for being such different arrangements to the ones ultimately released.

This was undoubtedly recorded by Phil on the same hummy cassette deck as the Lille, Pijnacker and Melkweg concerts.

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
