Green Manalishi - recording info
Does anyone have any details on the recording of Green Manalishi? Like where it was done, how many tracks they used, or any other technical stuff like that. I have an idea about some of the stuff, but I'm curious to see if I'm right. Also, who's doing the crazy runs throughout the ending solos? Hard to tell if it's Danny or PG.
I'd so love to ask Martin Birch about all this... Thanks!! |

At the Steve Hoffman Music Forum, there is a post from "Steel Woole" about Green Manalishi:
Manalishi backing tracks were recorded at Western Recorders Studio 2, 6000 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA on January 8, 1970 on four of sixteen available tracks. Engineers listed on the tape box are "M. Birch/HBD" http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thread....326894/page-7 I never read/heard of this exact date before, thought some of you here might be interested! |

eg" when slide exponent Danny Kirwan entered the Mac picture ."......... and didn't Peter say he did the slide bits of Albatross himself using a Strat on his lap, and also that it was he that doubled John Mc Vies bass on Albatross ? so maybe other stuff is wrong ? And just to be clear, as noted by one of the comments ,when they used Orange amps there was a seperate valve powered spring reverb unit (in the article it doesnt make clear that it was an Orange product -I still have mine !) Also the piece about the Supernatural surely doesn't make sense unless it was Mike Vernon playing chords on the organ ......... Last edited by THD; 11-08-2014 at 08:49 AM.. Reason: Additional info |

I'm pretty sure those fast runs during the outro are Peter Green. I'd have to listen again, but I think he plays some similar licks on the live versions. I've never heard Danny Kirwan play like that.
I've always wanted an alternate mix where the solo was up front and the vocal wails were ghosts in the background... |

Interesting. Never heard JW was there, although I've read Carlos Santana was and he and Peter Green jammed Black Magic Woman.

I can't hear Winter on the track, but he did play the Royal Albert Hall on April 17, 1970, (Santana headlined the next night) so he could have been in England at the time they were recording 'Manalishi'
