South Side Of The Sky - what bass?

[johnallg]

that shot in his flat has a sister shot in the paper stock picture book inserted in early gatefold versions of fragile which i have. anyone want to post it ?

Have at it! I would like to see it. If you have it digitized, but needs resizing, just email it to me and I can resize it and post.

The original shot from the booklet of the original pressing is featured also on the booklet of the latest remaster (Rhino) which has additional shots from the same session. The pics show that Chris' Telecaster had the white pickguard that is missing from the auction pics.

Eh, you can still tell it's a white guard.

Anyone else here want to know what's in the stack of LP's behind Chris? I know I do! I'd love to know everything those guys were listening to at the time.

From 'Bill's Blog' at http://www.billbruford.com :

"I played Chris Squire Art Blakey and Coltrane, Squire played Anderson the Vanilla Fudge and Syn, Anderson played Kaye Sibelius and Mahler, and Peter Banks played me Wes Montgomery and Pete Townsend. "

Man, I've listened to this a million times learning the part and find it hard to believe it was not the RM! I can get that tone out of my RIck.....

Chris himself would have to fess up on this one. I say RM1999 hands down.

I heard it was one of Steve's banjos that was recorded at double speed and then drops one octave once returned to normal speed! (it's how Chris got that really fiborus sound)
