The Mellotron Group

Hi Roberto,

I would have preferred the CD particularly for the art work, however there aren't many stores that stock any of Robert Wyatt's music here, and the download is quicker, easier and cheaper than getting the CD through Amazon. Rest assured I already have 3 copies of it, stored in various locations, it won't be getting erased in my lifetime!

Mark

Hi Mark,

That;s right Ivor played on that masterpiece...now I'm really glad to read that downloads are not informative at all...and you PAID for that...when I posted my opinion about downloads being totally impersonal some people didn't agree...so my point remains: a download, something you may erase or be erased at any time is something of a lesser value...and doesn't help to establish a bond with the musicians.

best y'all,

Roberto

Hi Robert,

I didn't realise that Ivor Cutler had played on Rock Bottom, I have just bought that wonderful album on Itunes as there don't seem to be many Robert Wyatt CDs available here, the problem with downloads is the lack of information. I confess to I having done a cover of Sea Song, which I certainly won't post here!

Thanks

Mark

Mark,

Actually, not that far off topic...


I like Ivor Cutler too.  The first time I learned of him was when I purchased Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" album many years ago and he is credited playing Baritone Concertina,  Keyboards, and Vocals.

It is common knowledge that The Beatles were fond of him and he is amongst the cast of their Magical Mystery Tour film.  They were fond of The Bonzo Dog Band too and they perform near the end of that film.

Robert

Not sure if Ivor Cutler is well known in the states, I'm not sure if you will find this funny.

I think it's hilarious
