New CD

[joe]

My wife bought me a new CD at Starbucks yesterday and it is a collection of live cuts with mastered songs from the Quiet Knight. As well as Leeds and Lyceum. It was made in conjuction with Tuff Gong. This leeds :) me to ask why the family does not simply release a Live show every year for the next 350 or so years?

:lol:
I would like island and Marley family release a cd of Bob every year
... but I don't want Bob is treated like the poor Jimy Hendrix (2 cds per year from his death!)

I'll take 2 CD's a year. At that pace it would take approx 125 years!!! to release all of the live shows they have. This does not include acoustic albums, demos, rehersals, live videos etc... Release it, treat the shows with dignity by having photos from the show, quality liner notes etc. I don't see a problem releasing a show a month for the next 30 years. Kind of like how Pearl Jam and Phish did. Except they slacked on the proper presentation. Get the stuff out there. It is of no use sitting in a vault waiting for some special mysterious magical day for it to be released. :)

P.S. the 2 songs on this CD from the Quiet Knight are great. The audio is fantastic and it may be the best live audio of Carly's drums I have ever heard.

A few years ago i came accross this article.

It seems that there are many many marley tapes that were fortunately rescued on time!

Marbo, here the Leeds show is taken as an example. Maybe this is also an answer to your question why the Leeds concert is sounding better (to your taste) over the Lyceum show (of which i suspect they took the old live tape and made the cd).

The Leeds tape was baked first (special method for rescueing oxidizing tapes) and then recorded digitally with the Euphonix R-1.

Its a great article, read it!

I have not read the articles yet, but we had to bake the Peter Tosh tapes I had ( $1000) and I think the show still sounds very thin, but it is an outdoor show and I think those all sound thin.
