Watch out for those cosmic alignments, Andy.  We could all see a wormhole open to 1973!

Spooky.....

This combination is just what I've ordered from Martin and John, and is sitting here waiting to be loaded onto the tapeframe.

Hi all-
   In listening to the "Watcher" intro, one can hear the brass/violins mix, but the brass sounds a bit like the "Brass B" recording to me.  Later on, in "Dancing with the Moonlight Knight", the violins are alone.  A choir can also be heard by itself elswhere (I forget where) in the concert.  I have to assume the frame was loaded with Brass B, 3 Violins (probably M400 Violins) and 8 Choir.

So they doubled the organ with the 400 strings ?  
I guess they had to do something when they went from many to three sounds.

They began using the organ instead of the bass accordion .

I think they were using an M 400 in the studio by the time of Selling   England....  I do wonder how they accounted for the difference in sound   between the Mk2 strings and the bass accordion for Watcher which was a big   part of their show for a long time. Did they have special tapes or did they   just roll with what was around.   


  
Surely somebody knows.
