Comments: For those of you who are keeping count, Andy Newmark played
the poly-rhymic drum parts on "Two Suns in the Sunset" on TFC. I suppose
the rhythm was too comlicated for Nick.
Doreen Chanter and Katie Kissoon also back Roger on KAOS and ATD. Doreen
sang "Molly's Song" the B-Side of "Who Needs Information." They do not
sing on When the Wind Blows, to my knowledge.
Tim Renwick is the only (?) musician to have been a member of Roger's
band and PF Mach III. Michael Kamen conducted the symphonies for The
Wall and TFC. - CEI
This 2 CD set sounds very nice, not quite as good as the vinyl "Roger",
but then that was from a radio show.
The version of "Have A Cigar" is one the best I've ever heard, Clapton
really plays it well. - MISC
I would rate the sound quality G+ or VG-. There is a lot of 'tape hiss'
and the stereo-separation is below average. However, disc 1 is a
pleasant surprise because many songs are being performed in an unusual
way (like IF and WYWH). Disc 2 (+/-oHH) is on average closer to the
original, but it still has a nice touch. -ANON
