MAIDENLANE FRANKESTEIN PRODUCTION VOL.18

Disc One (Mixed Version): 1. Tuning, 2. Instrumental Blues, 3. Laundromat Blues, 4. Semolina, 5. Red House.

Disc Two: 1. Goin’ South, 2. Band Introduction, 3. (Merged Version): 3. Tuning, 4. Instrumental Blues, 5. Laundromat Blues, 6. Semolina, 7. Red House.    

In this volume we get the 1^st show from New York in late March 90; Maidenlane’s recording is interesting because it is more complete than the rare one that already circulated. It contains the 2nd part of Red House which, in the previous version, was incomplete and damaged. The line-up was: Mick Taylor on guitar and vocals, Blondie Chaplin on guitar and vocals, Joel Diamond on keyboards, Wilbur Bascomb on bass and Eric Parker on drums

As usual it was decided to combine both recordings with the idea of having the most complete recording with the best possible sound.

The first minute of the tuning comes just from the previous source.

For Red House here are the details

-        from 0’00 until 13’09: mix of both sources

-        from 13’09 until 19’37: solely Maidenlane recording

-        from 19’37 until the end: solely the previous source was used as it was time for Maidenlane to change tape

All recordings have been edited, de-clicked and both channels rebalanced and synchronized.

As in the previous volumes the 1^st part consists of the more complete version with the mixes and then completed it with some merged versions.

Note that from the 2nd part of Red House the previous recording was not too good and had to be accelerated by +0,75% to be in synch with the Maidenlane recording. That is this reason why the merged bonus only features the first part of the show. The output is brilliant, especially for having a full Red House available, one of the longest ever version of this tune.
