♪ Playing Un día punk (Live in Mexico) by Juana Molina from ANRMAL (2020) (Local • 875kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, -8.16dB, FLC)
♪ Playing Catherine Parr by Rick Wakeman from The Six Wives of Henry VIII (Vinyl) (1973) (Local • 721kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, 3.05dB, FLC)
Did you know that the “Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived” aid memoir that we Brits use to remember KH8’s wives is fundamentally wrong? He was never actually divorced. He got the Archbishop of Canterbury to annul his marriages to Catherine of Aragon (1) and Anne of Cleeves (4).
Just for the record Catherine Parr was no. 6

...it's been a while, but it was also a great evening
(photo from the kitchen pinboard).As you can see, the admission prices were still somewhat more reasonable.

Fantastic album... I have one of the first release versions from the 70s. Still plays very good...
Samba Pa Ti... is so lyrical, so laid back, the guitar comes out of the dark seemingly. There are two lines... a guitar center and a second one, louder, the keyboard wilder off to the left and back.. Listening to it right now on Tidal HiFi. The guitar has a "honky, sharp" to it in the middle registers but the treble is clear and clean.. The congas are on the right, behind...
As it turns out, the left and right channels on Black Magic Woman were swapped in the LP. In the LP when the congas come in, 8 secs into the song, they are slightly off to the left and a few feet back... very good recording. I know this LP by heart.
So, when they went to re-release the CD in '90 or so, they realized the error and swapped it. Somehow, it doesn't sound the same though.
The day my son was born... three of us went to a new High End shop by UCLA during our work lunch. The salesguy played the CD for us and I immediately pointed out that he had the system backwards... He apologized... "sorry, we just set this up...".
Years later, reading The Absolute Sound, the story of this snafu came out. Hmm...
;-)
I saw Santana live at the Honolulu International Center in '74.... No warm up band... three hours.. It was pretty smokey inside...
How about this?
