Gilmour kinda slurs the line and they probably recorded the thing on four-track with almost more layers than that technology really allowed for. (Even on the official CD release of <i>Relics</i> and the remastered <i>More</i>, it's a little slurry.<br /><br />-----<br />*For some fool reason, the Floyd never got around to doing an official <i>Relics</i> on CD until the mid-to-late '90s. So I ended up buying a bootleg version that, on the downside, had a botched rip of "Interstellar Overdrive", on the upside had a dozen "bonus tracks" pulled from the <i>Zabriskie Point</i> soundtrack and a bunch of other rarities. Net score!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-43522367460181690042012-07-05T20:43:23.373-04:002012-07-05T20:43:23.373-04:00Hey Eric, the CD is buried somewhere in a box in s...Hey Eric, the CD is buried somewhere in a box in some closet, so I couldn't check the liner notes. But it's the words, I've always known those as the words. So when I did a lyric check the other day, while listening, I was, "Gaze? Graze? WTF is graze?" (Like, "Brain and brain. What is Brain?")<br /><br />Okay, now, if you can explain the difference between gold master, steel master, and remember when records were mono and not hi-fi, then we've got something.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-59821782130714553202012-07-05T16:21:53.286-04:002012-07-05T16:21:53.286-04:00"Grasses and the graves"--you may know t..."Grasses and the graves"--you may know this already--is the official lyric per the 1995 CD remaster/reissue.<br /><br />Does anyone know what a CD booklet is anymore? Will they in another five years? Raise your hand if you remember gatefold sleeves. (If you raised your hand, congratulations: you're old. If you didn't raise your hand, sorry: you really missed out on some really awesome album art.)Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.com
