I'd appreciate anything about Viv Stanshall.
I inherited a copy of Tubular Bells recently, and got to hear that
after decades of hearing about it.
I basically hate it but it certainly isn't Viv's fault :) :)

I can't remember if I asked here before, but Alan's "Captured
Rotation" is a somewhat cherished recording to me, but the original CD
seems like it suffers dramatically in mastering, whatever it is that
makes the sound "thin".
has that been repaired and I bet an LP could do wonders
