No... but there's a great soap story about how he got all these tapes. Lack of QP for sure.Fanclub meetings are great for these things... :-)

Please tell us the story then!!

======================

well what I can tell that some tapes were sold and trade on the web and taken/stolen by the egineers and people of the studio. Often these were not copy of the master but just some copy's of reels left at the time at the various studios (wessex etc). Of course QP or the management never came back to the studio to Ensure everything was taken. Good example the recent story about the Budapest reels that were till 1996 at the MAFILM company, but never picked up.

Even at fanclub meetings there were several of thesetapes for sale/trade he years but QP never gave a toss to dug into this trading/selling at the conventions.

Did anyone spot that the tape featuring the Larry Lurex trakes is dated 29 Aug(?) '75. Quite a bit later then the release we all know.

Also it appears that more then one take of "Sleep on the Sidewalk" exists contrary to Dr May and yes I'm sure some here knew that already.

Brian has stated that there were plenty more takes of Sleeping, just that they all were too calculated and lacked the spontaneity of the first take.

There's also a very long version of SYW, maybe the fast/live version?

I'm sure I recall that the final version has a few takes spliced together in places?

Unfortunately it's a case of sloppy handwriting, closer inspection reveals it to be 4.

Could it mean , I am talking about BM his statement that : the recording we can hear on the album was a complete take. So a unedited version (without pasting in chorusses or anything other) from other takes. Where can we find his statement that is was the first take on the album. Or a statement that it was 1 complete unaltered take (so without any other things pasted in from various other takes). Though Mike Stone is very funny at the beginning of the track !

So not necessary the first take featured on the album, but a complete unalternate take from the various recording takes....

Your thoughts please ...

I dunno. I think I have to hear it first.

Your acetates/tapes please....

(in FLAC of course)

;)

Interesting find :)

ghostwithasmile, I'm sure I've heard an interview where Brian did state that the first take was never bettered and they used that one for the album. Now, it's very possible that there were overdubs on top of that main backing track. But, if you're looking for the nitty gritty, ask Brian on his site.

Did the box marked SOTS take 6 actually prove to be take 1 after all?
