Title: Re: the Bambu Sessions Post by: JK on August 11, 2016, 10:32:47 AM What year/s did Dennis have the Bambu Sessions for his follow up to Pacific Ocean Blue? 1977 and '78.

I'm only just now realizing that things like "Only with You" and "Mexico" were recorded after POB was released.
Title: Re: the Bambu Sessions Post by: c-man on August 11, 2016, 03:59:08 PM Was there any logic as to what ended up as a bonus track on disc 1 of the Pacific Ocean Blue/Bambu set and what ended up on disc 2? I'm only just now realizing that things like "Only with You" and "Mexico" were recorded after POB was released. The backing track for "Only With You" was recorded during the POB sessions, although the vocals were reportedly added a year later. To be honest, I think they just put stuff where they did mostly 'cause it fit where it did. Although Guercio really wanted to end Bambu with "Piano Variations". Title: Re: the Bambu Sessions Post by: Jay on August 11, 2016, 04:22:16 PM I would love To have a "sequal" to the POB/Bambu set. Are there any other high quality unreleased songs in the vaults? I know that Dennis re-recorded "All Alone" in 1979. I would give my left foot to hear the "Labor Day" tape, if it still exists.

Although Guercio really wanted to end Bambu with "Piano Variations". And, as I noted in my other thread, as beautiful as "Piano Variations" is, it doesn't really resemble "Thoughts of You" -- it's in a different key and has a largely different chord progression! (It's more similar to "Cuddle Up" and "Time" than it is to "Thoughts of You." I'm inclined to think it's a demo for a different song than all of the above.)

More than one person, around the time of BAMBU's release, swore to me there was. I was highly skeptical, but I heard the same thing from two or three people who'd be in a position to know, and they were talking about releasing it. Needless to say, it didn't happen. So make of that what you will. Title: Re: the Bambu Sessions Post by: Jay on August 12, 2016, 10:00:22 PM I would love To have a "sequal" to the POB/Bambu set.

A release of those rehearsals was going to be the next project from Guercio after POB/Bambu, but after the success of the Legacy release it apparently stalled and is on indefinite hold. A shame, since these tapes are supposed to be absolutely incredible. Title: Re: the Bambu Sessions Post by: MatchPoint on August 22, 2017, 03:58:17 PM I really dig this album art for the release.

I think that would sell pretty well, considering how many copies of Pacific Ocean Blue/Bamboo 30th anniversary set.
I'd prefer Brother/Caribou Rarities box set of 6 (or so) CD's even more, though.

For that to happen, there would need to be a Brother-Caribou joint release (like what was done with the Stones' Forty Licks and Grrr! releases, which were done jointly through ABCKO-UMe). These kinds of intra-label collaborations are rare.

These kinds of intra-label collaborations are rare. Ten Years Of Harmony was released in 1981, when Brother was in an ongoing joint venture with Caribou/CBS. When the Beach Boys left Warner/Reprise in '78, they brought with them the rights to their 1970-'78 catalog - so there was no problem doing that compilation. After they left CBS in '86, they took their ;79-'85 catalog with them, too - which is how releases like Made In USA were possible.
