Some weeks ago I was with my friend musician and filmaker Francesco Paolo Paladino at his home chatting and planning new mad adventures for the future, when I asked him to check his TEB collection in his fabulous chamber of sounds. My intention was to mock him because I was sure he didn't have much of the band...
Incredibly enough, I had the surprise to found, between many CDs and some few cassettes, also the original tape recorded at Teatro Impavidi (Sarzana, Italy) on January 11th, 1989 from which, few months later the gig, I released a 200 copies limited edition cassette only for the fans!
Titled "New Age Music", this was quite a great surprise because I had totally forgot it. Checking the tape, inside the poor photocopied cover there is my old visiting card with two simple indications written on it:
limited edition: 200 copies
copy number: 002
The thing even more strange is that I have no copies in my personal archive... but the really amazing surprise is that this is the full concert with ALL the tracks played that evening and not simply the edition released by ADN in 1990 as "New Forecasts from the Third Ear Almanac" and later reissued by Gonzo Multimedia (as HST312CD, 2015).
The tape shows also the right sequence with the original titles selected by Sweeney and then partially changed for the A.D.N. tape:
1. "More Mosaic"
2. "Egyptian Book Of The Dead"
3. "Third Ear Raga"
4. "Ghosts" (a.k.a. Live Ghosts)
5. "Lark Rise"
6. "The Sun Trolley Raga" (a.k.a.Witches Dance)
I can only guess that ADN decided to reduce the recording for technical reasons (the lenght of the tape at that time related to a standard LP), and it's a pity that we couldn't listen to the full set with the rare Dave Tomlin's "Lark Rise".
Maybe a new edition in the future?
