You sure know about the label MFSL who independendly remaster albums from the original master tapes for hi-quality CDs and LPs. Recently they issued the Mothers' "We're Only In It For The Money" as it was back in 1967, whereas the actual CD was a remix... And I thought, why if they do Zappa, let's make them do Mike Oldfield's original LP mix of "Hergest Ridge". There would be some thousands of byers (wouldn't there?). I don't know how to contact them, but I'll see what I can do... Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Feb. 19 2006, 15:13 I've been searching all over for the original mix of Hergest Ridge, so I would definately buy a copy. I bought HR on vinyl in 1983 and lost my copy in 1989. Bought HR on CD in 1993 but it didn't sound quite right... -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Is it his masterpiece? -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Feb. 19 2006, 15:51 I "have" a Jarre album called "Music For Supermarkets". Sounds like a bootleg quality-wise. The music is quite noisy and experimental. It contains early versions of Blah-Blah Café and Diva from Zoolook + a fast marimba line that I recognize from another Jarre album (Rendez-Vous?). Laurie Anderson is not on Diva. Not sure is the album I have is the geniune article or not, but it has some very Jarre-like original music that I haven't heard anywhere else before. The appearance of Diva - Laurie Anderson suggests it comes from the man himself. Could this be the one you're looking for? -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Duggeh Group: Members Posts: 125 Joined: Oct. 2004 Posted: Mar. 05 2006, 21:41 I must get around to recording the original mix to digital. Seeing this thread has given me additional incentive. However im not sure of the legalities of providing such a rip. Is it illegal to distribute material that is technically withdrawn? If people own a CD of the remixed version, does that entitle them to access to the original? -------------- http://www.thismanwillkillyou.com http://www.last.fm/user/Dougmac21 Back to top

Jammer Group: Members Posts: 641 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 07 2006, 10:17 I'm sure that's OK, but if you want to play it safe you could always look for an unwanted second-hand original LP of it. That way you get the original cover with the campfire not airbrushed out, and a photo of Bootleg the wolfhound on the back The original mix is still on the Amarok FTP server (amarok.huntingdon.edu) - it should allow anonymous logins.

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Mar. 11 2006, 04:54 I just got hold of the original mix!!! I haven't heard it since I lost my vinyl copy in the 80s. It's absolutely beautiful. It's a bit rough in places. There's a harder edge. Great to hear the snare drums and trumpets back in place in part 1. It's a very dramatic section. Listening to part one right now at full blast! -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

So if anybody has the home made remaster, or any version of this that is listenable, please email or PM me, I have one show of mikes, and MANY Yesshows, some Jethro Tull shows, ELP Etc. THanks.
