Grzegorz, have you read the posts about "Telecaster" and the Don Black thing? Sounds like things might be happening with a bit of luck!

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Nov. 25 2010, 04:48 Excellent album - most sounds very dated now but Downwind and Emotions are pure gems (especially Mike's playing on Downwind). I used to own this on Vinyl but gave it away when I moved countries :-) -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Nov. 27 2010, 08:11 I listened to side one of this LP last night and I tell you what...it's better than I remember it. I definitely recommend it, especially for those of you who like a bit of jazz-rock fusion. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

The website doesn't say. I hope they have not gone and ruined the original. PS. Ordered this from Amazon - still in the mail. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Jan. 01 2011, 10:17 I've bought this, and IMHO it doesn't really sound any better than the old CD. The booklet pics are nice, tho'. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
