Woronzow News, Tony Hill, High Tide

[Stephen Lindas]

The flood and reason for success, I didn't feel were that appealing as the
first 2. Some other guy plays violin and it didn't have the same feel as
when Simon was there. I think he plays 1 or 2 tracks on those. Does anyone
on here know if there was actually a cassette called HIGH TIDE 3? It was
listed in a discography and I wondered if it DID EXIST. STEPHE

The High Tide - Precious Cargo release (1970 rehearsals) is fantastic,
despite dodgy sound quality. I am certainly NOT going to forget about that.
Anyone who knows and admires the first two official releases should give
this one a try - its more melodic, less heavy, and Simon House's violin
playing is beautiful - in fact all the musicians are in great form. The
Interesting Times 80's reunion release DOES suffer from drum machines and
slick production, but still has some quite good material on it as well
(including versions of songs that appear on Precious Cargo). So, no amnesia
for these 2 titles at least...
There are also a bunch of '80s and '90s releases (Flood, Ancient Gates,
Reason of Success(?), etc.) that I haven't heard. Does anyone know what
these sound like?
