Default Article about Katmandu

Helllo!
I have always found the "Katmandu" project, with Ray Dorset (ex. Mungo Jerry), that Peter Green was involved in rather mysterious, there's not been much info regarding the recording.
Anyway, I found a quite detailed account of this recording project:

Question

It always just sounded to me like he happened to be there and after he was persuaded to sing (at the beginning of Dust My Blues on the album), which really sounded like he didn't want to, that was it, now they could play up the whole "with Peter Green" thing, like he was there and a part of it from the beginning, JMHO though.

Great find! Thanks for posting – the article shines a light in an otherwise dark corner of Green’s discography. I’ve long felt that this was among his best work from this time period.
His work on Brian Knight’s “A Dark Horse” is also quite strong and it is unfortunate that he could not have done more session work in a similar vein.
Sessions such as these, where he was a “hired gun”, brought in to play, but having no other responsibilities, perfectly suited him at this time, and brought out his best, much as his session work immediately following his departure from Fleetwood Mac, found him turning in some of his most focused, beautiful and powerful work for Country Joe MacDonald and Peter Bardens.

As to John’s comment, I feel that this was one of the few times (with the eighties recordings) where the label or any of those involved did not try and exploit Green’s name/fame. See The Enemy Within for what real exploitation looks like.

Certainly packaging wise, I agree with this, I just meant in terms of what (it sounds like) was going on with regards to this internally, didn't it say in the PG bio that he liked Dorset but cut it off with him after the album feeling he was "too grabby"?

Yes, it says so in Celmins' book. Felt Dorset was too business-oriented. Must be hard to find musicians who aren't motivated by money, though :-).

Great read. I also liked the feel of this recording. There might have been a lot of pot smoking going on in that studio.. It was not long after that Peter was in the Kolors band.
