Title: New England Waltz
Post by: Smilin Ed H on May 24, 2007, 12:40:23 PM
When did this track first surface and do we know for sure that it is a BW track?

Thanks.

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

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?

I think Dick probably did the arrangement.

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

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?

The strings for "OB" are original.

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