New England Waltz

[Smilin Ed H]

When did this track first surface and do we know for sure that it is a BW track?

Thanks.

[Andrew G. Doe]

I've always seen it descriobed as a Love You-Adult/Child outtake. Can you say "Dick Reynolds" ?

[Smilin Ed H]

Thanks.  I knew it as an Adult Child outtake (or something they didn't get around to finishing...). So, um, do we presume it's pure Reynolds or did BW have a hand in it?

[Andrew G. Doe]

I think Dick probably did the arrangement.

Y'know, you can't say Dick on the Bloo. 

[Smilin Ed H]

 

Thanks,  Andrew. Was there ever a suggestion that BW wanted a whole album of big band/orchestra stuff and just lost interest?

Also, while I remember, were the strings added to On Broadway for this album to give it a big band feel, or were they on the original mix for 15 Big Ones?

[Andrew G. Doe]

The strings for "OB" are original.

[Smilin Ed H]

Thanks again.

I only have a lousy bootleg mp3 of On Broadway to listen to the track, but I suspect the strings are synthesized.
