Before everyone goes into a lather over bad attitudes, legalities, prison time, and what ancient curse will befall us for distributing the Sacred Sound of Horoscope, I think you need to figure out if this recording even exists in the real world. If it's just a mislabelled copy of Mamouna, its all moot - and all the arguments are just so much wasted bandwidth ... Also, consider that its easy to say "dupe it" if you're not the one buying the "master", or you're not actually part of the duplication tree. Its great to say you want something copied, but consider that the folks who are actually doing the work are the only ones taking a risk (and only if a particular distribution has a questionable history).   -= )-(eather =- >------------------< hjames@thewebgal.com TheWebGal Biz Site: http://www.thewebgal.com/ Heather's Website: http://www.thewebgal.com/hjames/ My Roxy Music Archive: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ >------------------------------------------< - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 17:17:53 -0500 (EST) From: hsszlenk Subject: Re: [AVALON] Horoscope, Scorpio Rising Allright Red, I agree with you 100 %.

I bought a cassette from a chap called Dan Radke (?) off the web (with David Southern's help in the US) ages ago and we (David and me) were both disappointed to find that it was just a copy of Mamouna with a bubble-jet printed cover puporting to be from a tape duping house and entitled Horoscope. So beware that you might end up buying a cassette of Mamouna. If however you do get a copy of the Horoscope work in progress then I would love to hear it (and own a copy of it). On the sensitivity to bootlegs etc. I think if it doesn't exist as a major label's regular commercial release then it is fair game for a tree or 'fan club' copy. What I mean is that I would baulk at CD copying the remasters but not at CD copying the Boston Boot. Justification is that Bryan won't see a penny of profit from the Boston boot so copies of it won't do Bryan out of money whereas copies of the remasters would undoubtedly reduce the few pence in royalties that he gets from every disc.

When CD duplication equipment still cost quite a bundle, I spoke to someone from a UK company that had a few copies burned onto gold CD by Virgin. I was too late to get one. In '95 or '96, an Avalon subscriber reported that he had bought a copy and liked it. Name forgotten.

A year or two ago, I eventually found three people who had received a Horoscope package but all had found it to be Mamouna, relabelled. (One of them was the guy you'd acted as an agent for, David. Andy Cooper, was it you?) Any unreleased Ferry or Roxy stuff is definitely worth chasing but Horoscope's trump card is its status as something approaching a finished product. Ferry decided that this stuff was ready (or even ready for mixing) and that means a lot - the concept, the positioning and the track order are in place. These all matter so much on his solo albums, and are hardly discussed here. (Not easy to discuss anyway.) We know that about half of the material made it to Mamouna in reworked form, so anyone who had a copy will certainly have been expected to keep the original running order and content secret. Release would affect the perception of a commercial album. (Horoscope was also said by one magazine in '93 to contain the rerecorded version of Mother of Pearl.) It could be argued that since Mamouna didn't sell, anyone who owned a recording of Horoscope might, if anything, help to shift a few extra copies of its legitimate cousin by releasing the tape. At this stage, there'd be some minor music press coverage of a project like that and it would boost interest in the rumoured box sets, too. But the other half of the album was to make it to Mamouna's follow-up, still unreleased. On balance, I guess there's little chance of it emerging intact any time soon. I like Trower's contributions to Taxi and I'm a big Eno fan but the fact that neither of these people contributed to Horoscope adds to its appeal, too. Guy Pratt once mentioned that he'd played on all the tracks three times (this was in '91) and that Bryan would likely continue with the album until someone *told* him to stop. I wonder if that's what happened?

I didn't think Eno worked on Mamouna either. After 20 years away, I thought "that's it?" I love Painted Smile, Mamouna and Chain Reaction.

Not sure if Eno was busy or Ferry was broke. > > Just the three songs? You're missing a few gems there. Eno did good work, but nothing could save that song for me. Like I said, I try and try with Mamouna. What gems am I missing? I have given up on Wilcat Days and Gemini Moon but am open to the rest. Help me narrow my focus. I have found with Taxi, one cut alone sounds much better than listening to the entire album. Never liked "All Tomorrow's Parties" until I heard it on the radio last month. Nearly drove off the road, it blew my mind it sounded so good, helped by the shock of hearing on the radio of coarse, but it is a real gem I now think.

Bowie works way too fast in the studio and Bryan, well we all know how long he takes to create a song....
