REVIEW: |
The Steel
Wheels sessions are the focus of this work, the first two discs come from
Training Wheels (Social Graces 001/002) bootleg which presented early versions,
work in progress of the Steel Wheels album, while the third disc is based on
For Your Precious Love (DAC-057) bootleg which had rough mixes for the album.
DAC 057 was lossless, while most of the other bootlegs of these sessions are
lossy; as usual phase & level correction and new equalization has been applied.
Compared
with the sleek production of Steel Wheels what surfaced as Training Wheels on
the new Social Graces label are outtakes infinitely more interesting than; many
of the takes on the earlier tapes had minor variations in the mix, but these
date much earlier in the sessions with well-known songs in a much more
primitive state of development. The sound quality isn’t as good as on the
earlier tape but is still excellent.
Continental
Drift is the only track not recorded in Montserrat but actually in Morocco,
where the basic rhythm instruments was made lacking lyrics and the Moroccan
overdubs.
It is great
to have more outtakes from these sessions which present the second set of
outtakes from Steel Wheels that have appeared on many labels. Cpt Acid work
helps in adjusting the sound output that can now satisfy even the collector hardest
to please.
