Nice to finally hear Newstead's bass on this album.  As you know on the LP the bass tracks are mixed so low they are inaudible.  I heard an explanation by one of those guys that Jason's bass tone conflicted with the guitar tracks so they didn't work together.  I can understand that reasoning but always thought that in their grief they couldn't bear to hear anyone else but Cliff Burton on the album.  Whether it was a conscious decision I don't know.  I used to think having no bass was sort of a tribute to Cliff, as messed up as it was to do that to Jason.

Tough call but I'm leaning twords Newstead exceeded their expectations and then some. So maybe Lars felt intimidated and didnt want Cliff insulted/forgotten? Maybe James felt inferior because Newstead didn't follow him note for note 80% of the time (sarcasm)

 

I can understand wanting his drums a certain way but the comment to the producer about making the bass inaudible seems nefarious at best, in my opinion.

 

No matter how you look at it it sounds a ton better with the bass lines, too bad this isn't professionally mixed with original tracks. Whoever did this did a great job but got a little excited and made the bass a bit loud, again, just my opinion

 

Glad someone here enjoyed it

It was a bit heavy-handed for sure.  Guess they were making a point mixing it that loud.

Thanks for all the likes bish and everyone.  Quite a stash piling up!

 

 

Not sure I quite understand the Zionist ideology of Rastafarianism.  Rastas are supposed to be the Lost Tribe I think?  Hopefully their concept of Israel is nicer than the leaders of the existing nation of that name.  It can't be denied they make some sweet music though...

Bob Marley vs. Lee "Scratch" Perry - The Best of the Upsetter Years 1970-1971

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F8pU5ykQpI

 

Cleopatra's Bob Marley repackagings have generally had little rhyme or reason, but 1970-1971: Upsetter Years is a notable exception. The 18 tracks included here -- all original recordings -- focus on the Wailers' seminal collaborations with crazed-genius producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, one of the most important periods in the careers of both artists. The emphasis is on songs released as singles, and one -- the Bunny Livingstone-led "Dreamland" -- appears on neither the Soul Rebels nor the African Herbsman albums. In one form or another, this music is essential listening for any reggae fan, as Perry surrounds the Wailers' soaring voices with organic grooves and an oftentimes druggy-sounding haze. As a single-disc distillation of the Perry/Wailers partnership, 1970-1971: Upsetter Years is pretty hard to beat.

Bill Janey -- Guitars, Vocals
Steve Bock -- Bass, Vocals
Denis Bunce -- Drums, Vocals

The Truth and Janey sound is probably captured best on this live record. It's a mix of classic rock, psychedelic guitar rock reminiscent of Hendrix, and the progressive structures of a band like Budgie. Lots of jammy parts, some of them heavier than others of course. Some of it reminds me of the same kind of deep blues rooted 'Cream' material. Nice and heavy, but soulful and tastefully done.

This Truth and Janey CD shows that some things never change ... even in almost 30 years. This masterful live recording from April 8, 1976 at the Col. Ballroom in Davenport, Iowa showcases why bands today should be paying homage to Truth and Janey. They were laying down the heavy, slugging it out on the circuit, rolling off riff after riff, tasteful extended solo after solo... doing things their way, while thumbing their noses to the era of disco.

Sonically, this is the best kind of band sponsored live release. It sounds like a bootleg from an audience member, but a bootleg done off the soundboard after slipping the sound-man a twenty. It's clear, but it's raw. Instruments are all at discernible levels, and vocals are spot on, but there's a rough quality here that allows the listener to be taken back 28 years and dropped dead center in front of Bill Janey lighting up his stratocaster. I mean, if you like 'live' recordings that make you feel as if you were at the show, this one's for you.


Musically, they take all the influences of the day (Hendrix, Cream, Captain Beyond, etc.) and manage to create their own sound and unique songs. Bill Janey is a guitarist extraordinaire. Steve Bock's bass playing would turn lesser players' fingers into pretzel knots. Dennis Bunce keeps time like a Rolex without the pretentiousness. Furthermore, I catch Marc Bolan/T. Rex warble in Janey's vocals which is a plus in my book.

All in all, an excellent live recording that engages the listener as close to the live experience as possible. If you like the obscure, enjoy digging into the past, checking out a band that paved the way for good rock bands like Fu Manchu and Nebula, you will enjoy this.
