I have downloaded all of them so far... so if one stops working, just let me know and I'd be happy to upload them elsewhere!

Does anyone knows if this is the best copy of this recording of "Rhiannon"? There are several spots in the recording that sounds like the tape is twisted. It warbles or drops out a few seconds here and there. It seems I heard this before without those drop outs, but not in as clear quality. I've seen mentioned that some reels have identical takes but were better quality. Was this one of the master reels that was bought from eBay? This is my favorite piano version of "Rhiannon" and seems to be the most popular/infamous version.

Also, does anyone know WHAT Stevie was talking about at the beginning...answering herself and stuff? Is it supposed to be a recreation of the very first demo of "Rhiannon" or something?

Kevin, yeah, I always figured that Stevie was trying to invoke how she was feeling when she first wrote "Rhiannon" in Late 1974 when she recorded this piano demo in Early 1978. "Talking" to RichardD and LB, remembering how she initially described what she was aiming for back then.

Yes, it is the best copy out there.

I'll listen to mine for the glitches you mention, because I do not remember them, but who knows...they could be there and I just never noticed.

All of the reels that are numbered like this one, Reel #44, are from the group bought on eBay. There are 201 numbered reels currently, and several unnumbered reels that I believe are from the same stash. The numbers represent the order in which they were transferred to CD. Some do indeed have identical data, for example Reel #12 was recopied as Reel #107. Because the sound is better on #107, there is no reason to post #12.

Sometimes, the sound quality wasn't the issue when a reel was recopied. Some of them were originally transferred as one long track, and then recopied later to split the session into multiple tracks, but this wasn't necessary more than a handful of times.

Thanks! Yeah, there's a few I don't remember hearing on the mp3s over the years. First one - right after she says "back to Rhiannon" at the start, there's a dropout - it goes silent for a few seconds before the piano starts. And there's some tape warbling/rippling after "I do, I think Rhiannon is a beautiful name".

I found this one posted at ThrownDown.net by David, admin of that site... most that were uploaded there turned out to be lossy sources (when checking the spectrum graph)... however, this one proved to be lossless! So I thought I would share it here, since no one has posted it yet....

Master Reel #25: Bella Donna
03/07/81

1.) Bella Donna (Katherine Kelly #1)
2.) Bella Donna (Katherine Kelly #2)
3.) Bella Donna (A Cappella Version)

Here is the link to the folder containing all three tracks:

Does anyone know what "Katherine Kelly" refers to?

I just started downloading these! Thanks for your hard work and dedication!!

Grinnygog · #83 04-29-2010, 10:57 AM

Anyone else having trouble with the "acappella version"? I can't get it to download.

I agree with Mike!

I thought I read Mike Bise may be in the middle of moving... so I'm sure he's probably very busy with that (unless I've mistaken him for someone else... in that case, ignore me lol!)

Oh yeah, I think he did mention something about that. Thanks for the reminder! I still haven't even attempted to start DL'ing any of these reels! I'm way behind.

"Some Become Strangers"

Thanks, Mike! I believe this is the same recording as is posted in Master Reel 134 by KarmaContestant earlier in the thread... The interesting thing is that because the source is different (even if the original source might be the same), the volume levels are slightly different as well. Also, this one seems to be trimmed slightly (cutting off blank space that the other one has before the song starts). The same is true of "The Nightmare" you posted in the other thread and "The Nightmare" that's included in Karma's upload from Master Reel 134... the levels are ever-so-slightly different.
