REVIEW:

These compact discs focus on Keith Richards solo work which was done without any commercial purpose on his days off from the Stones. Disc One has been sourced mostly from vinyl (Tracks 1-8 from the ep The Toronto Sessions) while the rest come from A Stone Alone (VGP 377); likewise Disc Two comes mostly from Keith Richards 81-83 and the VGP title. Anyway this collection presents Keith at the piano from the Toronto sessions held the week after the El Mocambo shows and this is the reason for its title. After having worked on EQ-ing and reversing the phase some work had to be done on pitch that has been slightly corrected; in fact this is the second remaster for this title as  the previous one was running a bit too fast. It is impressive to listen to the overall sound that presents a coherent picture of the man in the studio playing for his pleasure, chatting with a girlfriend and enjoying some gin. Nowhere any noise reduction has been applied and no compression at all. The sound output is natural and warm and the music can easily do the talking.




The best toys are the ones that are both educational and multi-purposeful.
