Description
NOVEMBER 6TH 1978 - PIERRE MOERLENS GONG - DOWNWIND - 12" TRIDENT RECORDING STUDIOS LONDON, UK PRE-RELEASE METAL CORE ACETATE - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL TRIDENT STUDIOS LOGO ORANGE CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER - TRIDENT RECORDING STUDIOS LABELS. THERE ARE NO CATALOG NUMBERS OR ANYTHING ELSE ETCHED IN THE TRAIL-OFFS AS ACETATES ARE CUT ONE AT A TIME AND NOT PRESSED FROM STAMPERS LIKE NORMAL RECORDS. DIFFERENT TRACK ORDER THAN WHAT WAS EVENTUALLY RELEASED IN 1979. SIDE 1 HAS: DOWNWIND - CROSSCURRENTS - EMOTIONS - SIDE 2 HAS: WHAT YOU KNOW - JIN-GO-LO-BA - AEROPLANE - XTASEA AND THE ACTUAL DOWNWIND ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY 1979. I HAVE NO WAY TO TIME EACH SONG AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO EACH SONG ON THE ACETATE TO COMPARE THEM TO THE STOCK COPY. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE SONGS ON THIS ACETATE SOUND GREAT AND I KNOW THE SONGS SOUND LIKE THE TITLES OF THE SONGS ON THE FINAL RELEASE.- AFTER FOUNDING MEMBER DAEVID ALLEN LEFT GONG IN 1975, THE BAND STILL HAD A CONTRACT TO RECORD 2 ALBUMS FOR VIRGIN RECORDS. SO GONG'S DRUMMER PIERRE MOERLENS TOOK OVER THE GROUP, FOUND SOME OTHER MUSICIANS AND RELEASED THE ALBUMS EXPRESSO 1 + 2. THEN HE CHANGED THE NAME TO PIERRE MOERLEN'S GONG AND RECORDED THIS ALBUM WITH GUEST MUSICIANS MICK TAYLOR AND STEVE WINDWOOD. ALSO WHEN PIERRE TOOK CONTROL OF THE BAND IT MOVED MORE IN A JAZZ ROCK DIRECTION. HE WAS A DRUMMER / PERCUSSIONIST SO THERE'S PLENTY OF DRUMS / PERCUSSION ON THEIR SONGS.THEY DO A REALLY GOOD VERSION OF SANTANA'S JIN-GO-LO-BA ON THIS ALBUM. BOTH SIDES SOUND GREAT, BETTER THAN MY STOCK COPY. A FEW TINY SCUFF MARKS ON SIDE 1, ONE VISIBLE SCUFF MARK ON SIDE 2. A TINY BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN SOME QUIET PLACES. NO CLICKS, NO POPS, NO SKIPS. THERE'S A BUMP OR SLIGHT DISHWARP THAT I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IS THERE WITHOUT WATCHING THE RECORD SPIN ON THE TURNTABLE. IT'S A HEAVY METAL CORE ACETATE. DATE AND TITLES AS YOU CAN SEE WRITTEN ON THE LABELS. ALBUM COVER HAS SOME WEAR AND SOME SMALL AREA TEARS ON THE FRONT YOU CAN SEE AND THE ORIGINAL U.K. PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED WHICH YOU WON'T NEED TO REUSE AS THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY ANTI STATIC COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
