Watch out for those cosmic alignments, Andy. We could all see a wormhole open to 1973!

Spooky.....
This combination is just what I've ordered from Martin and John, and is sitting here waiting to be loaded onto the tapeframe.

Hi all-
In listening to the "Watcher" intro, one can hear the brass/violins mix, but the brass sounds a bit like the "Brass B" recording to me. Later on, in "Dancing with the Moonlight Knight", the violins are alone. A choir can also be heard by itself elswhere (I forget where) in the concert. I have to assume the frame was loaded with Brass B, 3 Violins (probably M400 Violins) and 8 Choir.

So they doubled the organ with the 400 strings ?
I guess they had to do something when they went from many to three sounds.

I do wonder how they accounted for the difference in sound between the Mk2 strings and the bass accordion for Watcher which was a big part of their show for a long time. Did they have special tapes or did they just roll with what was around.
Surely somebody knows.
