Label: Witchwood, 1967
Erscheinungstermin: 21.10.2011

Alex Campbell, Folkmusiker aus Glasgow, hatte im Sommer 1967 die tolle Idee ein paar Traditionals und eigene Songs zusammen mit Sandy Denny aufzunehmen.

Er traf sich mit ihr in seinem kleinen Apartment in der Rupert Street 19 am 05. August 1967 und nahm auf einem 4-Track Aufnahmegerät in privater Atmosphäre ihre Session auf. Vor einiger Zeit gelang dieses Tape glücklicherweise in die Hände von David Cousins (Strawbs). Der große Fan der unvergessenen, ehemaligen Fairport Convention-Sängerin machte sich mit Chris Tsangarides daran, diese Kassettenaufnahmen zu mastern und editieren. Und nun liegt sie vor die Session eines Sommertages aus 1967 mit einer unglaublich zufrieden und ausgeglichen wirkenden Sandy Denny und überragender Spielfreude.

Product Information

I first heard this recording as I was being driven by my friend Stuart Douglas, Alex Campbell's cousin, round Lake Ontario on the way to Toronto. He put a cassette into the player, without saying a word, and I was amazed to hear Sandy Denny and Alex swapping songs and chatting away. Stuart had found the tape in Glasgow in Patsy Campbell's house after she died but, as a cassette, it was unusable for release.

Then last year I went to a meeting in Copenhagen and afterwards a guy came up to me and said that a friend of his had a tape of Sandy Denny that he'd recorded years ago in Glasgow. I wrote and asked if I could have a copy and a few weeks later, much to my amazement, the original tape arrived through the post. It was recorded at 19 Rupert Street, Glasgow, Alex Campbell's home, on 5 August 1967 on a quarter track domestic machine. I took it to Abbey Road to have it transferred to digital, and I was stunned to hear Sandy and Alex singing, laughing and joking as though I was in the room with them. I edited and mastered it with legendary producer Chris Tsangarides. It's what it is, a home recording, but what atmosphere!

On record Sandy often comes across as sounding melancholy. There are secrets behind some of her songs that very few people know, that brought about a certain sadness. But this recording shows Sandy as she was when I first met her bright and funny, with a voice that could pin your ears back or melt your heart. I m so pleased to be able share this with you.

Rezensionen

,,Komplettsammler werden die schlichten Versionen von Traditionals wie “The Leaves Of Life”, “Trouble In Mind” oder “The Midnight Special” sowie Dennys bestem Song “Who Knows Where The Time Goes” zu schätzen wissen. Für den Rest der Menschheit gibt es massenhaft Denny-Werke der Superlative ..." (Good Times, Dezember 2011 / Januar 2012)
