The Alan Boyd Thread
Joshilyn Hoisington:
I think I remembered hearing that DWB and W of the S were lost. Too bad. That makes sense...maybe Brian would have recorded the track, his lead and the group, then doubled the group, mixed tracks 3 and 4 down to one track on a new tape, then he'd have a free track for the doubled lead.
I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Probably too much home recording on my computer where, if I had the processing power (which believe me, I don't...), I could have an infinite number of tracks. With my ancient technology, it's more like...one track.
c-man:
Alan, if you haven't already, please check out my essay on the recording of the "Today!" album, where I listened to all available sources (available to me, that is) and see if you agree on what I came up with. I welcome any corrections or comments from your perspective.

Oh and Alan, while you're at it...do you happen to know the identity of the man who engineered the vocal session for "In The Back Of My Mind"? He has a very distinctive voice...he also pops up on a few other sessions, like "Ballad Of Ole Betsy" and I think "I Do". It's definitely not Chuck Britz. I identify him simply as "Unknown Western Engineer" in my writings.
Thanks a lot,
C-Man
Joshilyn Hoisington:
Craig, have you investigated the possibility of that voice belonging to H Bowen David?
c-man:
Yep...a few years ago, I got in contact with Mr. David's daughter, who was kind enough to send me a photocopy of a United/Western newsletter from 1967 or so with a photo of her dad!
I sent her a CD with excerpts from a few sessions, including those, so she could ID her dad's voice. She recognized him right away on the "organ bridge" Good Vibrations session from September '66, but indicated that the "mystery man" engineer was not Bo.
