Gavin Bryars' "...Titanic" C/D?

Is this the new version you're referring to?

Yup.

Is LTM reissue's sound actually improved? The old disc had a lot of what sounded like tape damage.

"Is this the new version you're referring to?"

I think it must be, although mine looks like http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41jhV1QmcUL._SL500_AA240_.jpg rather than like http://www.emusic.com/img/album/111/594/11159453_155_155.jpeg

Do people still rate 'Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet'? Only heard it for the first time the other day. It's very nice, if rather long.

And as much as I like Tom Waits, there's no reason for him to be on the revised version.

i guess so, and people say that, as though it was 'commercializing' the piece, but I like it.

Like the original plenty. Dont like the Waits version, kind of turned me off Waits in general also

this record is so good

I have a ticket for the last performance of A Man in a Room, Gambling tomorrow at cafe oto, but I'm knocked out with this shitty throat infection & won't make it :-( would anyone be interested? It's £18. I like these as much as titanic/jesus and am gutted to miss it.

No takers eh

"Titanic" was awesome. Gavin himself played bass on a Fluxus inspired closing piece from the early 70s where the musicians onstage had headphones on so they couldn't hear each other.

Hell yeah

Just dropping in to say I've finally listened to this (OG and Waits versions) and, yes, it is very good. ;)

the live performance sounds amazing

the website tone glow has an interview up with bryars, i’ve only read a portion of it so far
