Title: George Fell into His French Horn stereo?
Post by: Mooger Fooger on January 13, 2012, 04:09:51 AM
A little while back this track, an apparently stereo version was making the rounds. Was this a true stereo mix or did it have reverb added to make a faux stereo out of mono?

Its definitely on the 5CD set grouped with the Surf's Up sessions, but it is edited.

But that one track is pivotal to all other Smile events. It holds the project together.

Did anybody else think that a lot of that Talking Horns track sounded like that Song of the Whales stuff? Anyway, how exactly does this junk hold Smile together, Mooger? I want to hear about that.

Based on the sources I've heard, I believe this was originally recorded to one track. Assuming that's correct, there can be no true stereo mix. I'd love to be wrong, since I for one love this recording.

The key pivotal role this track had in Smile is a long and arduous road of explanation which will require years to re-tell, incorporating volumes of hand-written notes, audio taped interviews of key persons, and rare film footage and stills. Way beyond the scope of either my abilities or this forum's parameters.  8)

Y'know, I shouldn't have called Talking Horns junk. It 's more like the debris from the explosion of greatness that was the Smile sessions.  ;D
