Skip Battin - Navigator

Skip Battin (acoustic guitars, piano, bass, lead vocals)

Greg Harris (electric guitar)
David Hines (electric guitars)
Brian Elliott (piano)
Jack Bruno (drums)
Gail Kantor (background vocals)
Nadra Thomas (background vocals)

To my knowledge, this LP was released in Italy only, and was never released as such on CD. The CD artwork included here (found in cyberspace) is a fan home job made from the LP covers scans.
However, Appaloosa released a double CD in 2017, with Don’t Go Crazy, Navigator, and “Live In Bolzano 1988” featuring John York.
Clyde Raybould "Skip" Battin (sometimes spelled Battyn) first recorded as a solo artist under his name in 1957, and later with many aliases, and was a full time member of
Skip And Flip
The Evergreen Blueshoes
The Byrds
The Flying Burrito Brothers
The Burrito Brothers
The New Riders Of The Purple Sage
Family Tree
The Rogers-Nienhaus Band
He also recorded 4 solo albums (Skip, Navigator, Topanga Skyline (released in 2010) and Don't Go Crazy) under his real name.
He also contributed to records by :
Armageddon, Connie Cohen, Brian Cutean, Earth Island, , Kim Fowley, Ricky Gianco, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Ricky Mantoan, Max Meazza, Ricky Nelson, Pacific Steel, Gene Parsons, Gary Paxton, Jim Ringer, The Rogers-Nienhaus Band (Byrds Celebration), Earl Scruggs, Gene Vincent, Warren Zevon, and so many others.

Les Lionceaux – The French EPs Collection
Les Lionceaux were a French rock band from the mid-60s. Like all their French contemporaries, they didn’t write their own songs but covered the USA and UK hits of the moment.
Original lineup : Alain Hattat, Jean-Claude Bourgeois, Max De Schutter, Jean-Louis Percy
Later members : Pierrot Sainz, Michel Thaymont, Alain Dumont (Willy), Bruno Arrigoni, Bob Matthieu (Michel), Jean-Claude Dubois (Dan), Gérard Fournier (Papillon), Jean-Pierre Gaillet, Herbert Léonard
Gérard Fournier (Papillon), previously the bassist of Les Players, went on to play with Johnny Hallyday and later formed Triangle (with Jean-Pierre Prévotat also from Les Players).
Herbert Léonard became a very successful solo singer in France, topping the charts several times.
Several members reunited as “Les Lionceaux Revival” in 2005 and sarted to perform regularly, keeping the name and the music alive.
The 60s band released seven 4-track vinyl EPs in France from 1963 to 1965.
In 1965, they were hired to be the backing band for US bluesman Memphis Slim, for the recording sessions (in Paris) for his “Clap Your Hands” LP. A 4-track EP was released with songs from that LP. I have added it here as a bonus.
Full artwork (fronts, backs, labels) for all 8 EPs is included.

One of my musical heroes is Peter Hammill. So I will present some music of Hammill, Van der Graaf Generator and additionally works from the periphery.
In the end of the ‘70s in Hammill´s music one could hear rockier sounds. In the early ‘80s he entered studios and stages with the „K Group“ which he thought as a „beat band“. More information you can find in the booklet. I was happy to be part of Hammill´s birthday concert on november 5th, 1982 in the famous club Sinkkasten, Frankfurt /M. There are also three tracks on the double CD recorded in that location.
Peter Hammill & The K Group – The Margin LIVE (1985)

02 – Porton Down
03 – Stranger Still
04 – Sign

Velvet Underground fan alert - I’ve been listening to the Matrix tapes which are good 1969 recordings of the Velvets live in San Francisco. As I research the tapes I have found s0me interesting and surprising things. It turns out that most of it was recorded through room mics, with only the guitars having dedicated mics. As a result of that there was no way the band could sound anywhere near as great as they really were as a live band. The recording is one step up from an audience recording. The following article from Tape Op magazine explains how the performance was recorded and mixed and it’s a must read for hardcore Velvets fans.
https://tapeop.com/reviews/music/111/the-complete-matrix-tapes-by-the-velvet-undergroun/
I tried using AI to remix some of the tracks, 5 so far. What I’m hearing in the AI remixes may be the best sounding live Velvet’s ever. I am putting up a link to the remix of Heroin so you can listen to it and decide. I want to get your comments. It sounds amazing to me, but I may be a cult of one, so give it a listen and let me know. All 5 tunes sounded great to me and I simply chose Heroin randomly.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/2w2n58due1j2ld7/Velvet_Underground_-_Heroin_%2528AI_mix%2529.mp3/file
I don’t plan to do any more remixes, but who knows. I’m certain that someone with better software could produce a perfect version of these recordings. Some of the tracks from the Matrix sessions have been officially released 3 different times, all in mixes that were independent of each other. I’m going to get back to work on trying to listen to every version that exists, and I’m looking forward to feedback from other obsessed fans.

@sambgodot - I have a live set by the Dry City Scat Band at the Ash Grove in 1964. Shall I post it or were you planning to?
I am not a big fan at all, in fact I am NOT afan of VU or Reed's solo work. However, I always liked Heroin and I'm Waiting For My Man, primarily because of my heroin use in the early 70s. I identified, as these songs painted an accurate picture of the life. This version of Heroin sounds great. Thanx for posting.
Another round of reggae-related coolness some of you may appreciate:

Thanks for the Spookys. To my ears, the "unknown" track 5 at Boston is Old As I Was Born from their 1973 LP "You Broke My heart etc..."
Every end of the month this is HIGHLY appreciated, HenkP! Thanks a lot & Best, TC
Many thanks to both Robert & the Captain for their usual, unstinting work. Cheers, chaps!
I am a massive VU fan and I have the Matrix set on vinyl. It was a revolution in difference as far as sound compared to their other live releases. This is arguably one of the best live rock albums available. This mix sounds good, except for the tom drum sound (I think Mo used her kick drum as a tom) which sounds a bit too processed.
Please post the rest, this sounds great!
@lemonflag - thanks!!

Hi, can someone please share Drenched by Miracle Legion? Thanks in advance! https://www.discogs.com/release/479345-Miracle-Legion-Drenched
@sambgodot - Here is the Dirt City Scat Band at the Ash Grove, early show, October 3, 1964 (@320). If the emcee in the last track sounds familiar, it's because he went on to become Dr. Demento.
https://www.imagenetz.de/faD7T
Wow @s32x - The VU mix sounds pretty amazing. Really good work. Look forward to hearing more ;)
To my ear, it seems a lot of the re-mix/re-mastering done by AI seem to over-compensate the placement of the vocals in the mix. Since usually the vocals are too low or lack presence in old live recordings, they are brought up too high and seem to hover over the mix, rather than being embedded in a band performance. This also often happens with the drums, though I don't think that's an issue here. The guitars sound great, which is one of the features of the Matrix recordings, where you can distinguish between what Reed and Morrison are playing.
Thanks for the Pepper,
Robert
Thanks for the positive feedback on the Velvets live. I used AI to remix 5 songs and I will post all 5 later tonight and I'm looking forward to your comments.

Rockers All Stars - Chanting Dub With The Help of the Father
(1978; Digital Reissue 2020)
https://www.discogs.com/release/2952049-Rockers-All-Stars-Dub-With-The-Help-Of-His-Majesty
This Dub Lp is not by Augustus Pablo! The producer is Everton da Silva, who was shot dead in NYC in 1979. Pablo is just a musician here.
Classic dubwise set produced by Augustus Pablo and Everton Da Silva, for Da Silva's New York based Hungry Town label circa 1978. Actually the dub companion of an ultra-rare LP from Prince Mohammed aka singer George Nooks in his deejay guise, mixed at King Tubby's, probably by Prince Jammy, and Harry J's, probably by Sylvan Morris. Some great dubs on here to tunes such as Horace Andy's New Broom and Don't Let Problems Get You Down, and most notable for being home to the killer Jah Shaka favourite Jah Dub. -Dub Vendor

I have admiration for the effrot. I also have some (very personal, subjective) criticism. The dynamic range is not subtle, the voice too loud. And I think you should rebuild it. Layer by layer, instrument by instrument. AIWE (albums I wish exist) has more expertise than I have. https://albumsiwishexisted2.blogspot.com/
Richie - You are right that AIWE is a fantastic resource, and the technical expertise and dedication is impressive. I think Lou Reed has had too much dynamic range on some of his records, like the first album, and I have created versions of some of his songs which are more pleasing to my ears, but maybe not to others. For the Matrix songs, they are all different. Remember they did 2 sets both nights.
