@Senseless, re: John Fahey posts

Thanks for the clarification, I suppose I should've just downloaded to see what it was, it's just that when this album is shared without specifics it could be anything and uploaders sometimes don't know about all the re-recordings.

So I did download your files, and the second album is actually not the true '67 release, those tracks are taken from a reissue called "LEGEND OF Blind Joe Death" and it’s remastered -- from original ‘67 tapes, but the mix is not the same and some tracks even sound a little sped-up when compared to my '67 vinyl. If my LP wasn't so trashed I'd rip it, but three songs don't even play because of gouges and the whole platter is FULL of surface noise with countless really bad scuffs/scratches (it was 50 cents at a thrift store, so I’m not complaining).

The same is true for the second version of “Death Chants” that you shared, it’s culled from a 90’s remastered disc too, not the true ’67 mix.

I'm sorry to sound so fastidious, I've been looking for a digital copy of the real '67 albums for a long time, but as far as I can tell they’re only available on LP, so a lot less likely to emerge in the blogospere. Nothing's wrong with the remasters, they're just different and I'm kind of a purist/completist/nerd about it all.

Here are 320 upgrades for both of the remastered albums you shared, and also I’ve zipped them here in their complete form; the full versions of both remaster discs include “updated” versions of both the early and later recordings of each album:

John Fahey “The Legend Of Blind Joe Death” 1996 Remasters
Tracks 1-9 are Berkeley 1963 recordings, 10-19 are 1967, 20 is 1959, and 21 is 1964 unreleased, all remastered

John Fahey “Death Chants…” 1998 Remasters
Tracks 1-12 are 1963 recordings, 13-22 are 1967 recordings, all remastered
http://www81.zippyshare.com/v/IaoHKA2F/file.html

If people are interested in more Fahey I’ve got over 30 of his albums digitally and I can work them in if there’s interest. [… and I bet you thought I only listened to gunk punk & trash rock… :)]

Saved and Sanctified Songs of the Jade Label '15 (Numero Group) @320

The rawest DIY gospel ever resurrected. The West Side of Chicago was just an annex of the deep rural South for Gene Autry Cash and his flock of recent Old Dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. His Jade label absorbed those God-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. Glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

LOU PRIDE - Keep On Believing '05 @320

Once an under-recorded soul bluesman, Lou Pride is making up for lost time. This 2005 release is his third album of predominantly new and original material since 2000, not including a terrific set of 1970-1973 sides reissued by Severn in 2003. Pride kicks off with "Midnight Call," one of his best songs and a perfect indication of his Southern soul/blues roots. There is a bit of Al Green's Hi rhythm section in the thumping drums and longtime associate Benjie Porecki's powerful Hammond B-3. Post-heart attack, Pride's voice remains in fine form, bending notes and sliding from a gruff bottom to a sweet upper register like a combination of Howard Tate, Bobby Bland, and Johnnie Taylor. Although the 12 originals all written or co-written by Pride are uniformly solid, it's on Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain," the disc's only cover, that Pride finds the blues by tapping outside material, possibly something he should do more often. A remake of his 1972 hit "I'm Com'un Home in the Morn'un" and horn arrangements by the great Willie Henderson bolster the retro production. The backing vocalists, horns, and live-in-the-studio sound all seem grabbed out of the mid-'70s Memphis soul boom, which is high praise indeed. Jon Moeller's short, crisp guitar solos recall Steve Cropper's in their concise attack and the horns that punctuate most of the tracks are wonderfully arranged for maximum effect. Only the album's extended length is to its detriment. At a full hour, the disc is subject to diminishing returns as the songs unfurl. There is a similarity to the approach that, although not a problem when each track is played individually, becomes a bit staid over the duration. The slow blues of "Sunrise" comes as a much needed change of pace on an album that could have been more powerful if it had been trimmed by about four tunes. Regardless, this is emotional, gritty Southern-fried R&B sung by a master and recorded with old-school charm. It's an all but dying art form and one Lou Pride is proud to keep alive. (Allmusic)

Paul Williams & Friends - In Memory Of Robert Johnson '73 (2015 Remaster) @320

Recorded over 20 years ago, In Memory of Robert Johnson, remains a timeless tribute to its namesake. Although the production quality of the original 1973 release was remarkable even by today's standards, the music has taken on an additional level of eloquence and brilliance in this artfully re-mastered version.
The life of Robert Johnson is shrouded in mystery. Some say the legendary blues artist went to the crossroads and made a deal with the devil to be able to play with such emotional power. In any case, his music never relieved his personal sufferings. Most of his recordings were made in the back rooms of Texas hotels and office buildings. Only Terraplane Blues came close to being a hit, even in the restricted race market of the time. Johnson's difficult life finally ended in 1938 under violent circumstances, yet his music became immortal. During the blues revival of the 60s and early 70s, his songs were resurrected by Captain Beefheart, Cream, The Rolling Stones, and others.
English singer, blues guitarist and harmonica player, Paul Williams, was impressed when he heard some of Johnson's original recordings, which were made available to the public in the late 60s. Williams was so moved, in fact, that he gathered together some of England's most prominent blues musicians and went into London's Trident Studios. The resulting sessions faithfully captured the essence of Johnson's style while providing a showcase from some of the finest musicians of the English blues revival.
"What we found in Robert Johnson's music was the authenticity of a man's life," stresses the album's producer and acoustic guitarist Jon Mark, who was highly regarded for his work with blues legend John Mayall. "You have to understand that before the blues revival, we'd had Frank Sinatra singing slick, middle of the road material. Then all of a sudden young people became aware of the blues. We were really impressed with the ability of these black blues musicians to convey a pure sense of the truth. The blues was the most direct way of communicating the pain and the suffering of life, and Robert Johnson really lived it. So you can see why on this session there was a real concern of being purists, of not adulterating the music for our own purposes, but trying to recreate it or interpret it with great respect for the original source."
Williams and Mark were joined on this recording by steel guitarist Glenn Campbell, pianist Bob Hall, bassists Keith Ellis and Pat Donaldson, lead guitarist Eddie Yarlett, and guitarists Alun Davies and Spencer Davis.

It looks like Senseless and Seamav are knocking 'em out currently, I guess we were all thinking the same way!

lemonflag said...

Larry, thanks for taking the time and care to upgrade the Fahey albums.

Senseless, the Byrds SANG "To everything.." Pete Seeger wrote the song and the quote is from the Bible.
But I agree with your thoughts about different tastes for different folks.

This is such a great place to come to everyday, Thanks G & R.

Yes Lo Fi Larry, more Fahey would be appreciated. He's absolutely tremendous. Not sure why I never stuck my nose in his music.
