25 Feb 1970

Cadence And Cascade and The Peace Suite Wessex studio sessions 25th February 1970.

This will form part of the previously unreleased recordings from the "In the Wake of Poseidon" studio sessions at Wessex Studios in early 1970. The recordings are presented exactly as they appear on the original multitracks, engineered by Robin Thompson, with consecutive takes on each reel running seamlessly.

All the original studio sessions from 1970 are being made available by download in 2020 to satisfy recent changes to copyright laws: All recordings must be released within the fiftieth year of their recording in order to continue to enjoy copyright protection. So these have been released to the DGMLive faithful – and are thus protected!
