Bill---Unbelievably (considering my age, which should have made me part of it's target audience---I wasn't, by choice), I until recently had never seen Woodstock the movie. The Band's set was not included, and they were the only Woodstock performers I was interested in by the time the movie originally showed. But it was recently on TV in my area, so I watched it. During their set I realized I had never before seen footage of Canned Heat live, and was very surprised by how they sounded, having heard them only on studio recordings previously. Is that set representative of how they sounded live, or rather a result of the circumstances of the show (C, S, & N had to go into the studio and redo their vocals, they were so out-of-tune!)?

As some of you know, I have been pursuing vinyl and audio for a long time, and recently decided to write about it. I launched a site called http://TheVinylPress.com which is devoted to older records that deserve renewed attention. The site launched quietly last month with a feature about the U.S.Library of Congress audio-visual restoration archive, and the latest installment features an inteview with Olav Wyper, the creator of the legendary Vertigo Swirl label. For now, this is a labor of love. I hope you find something worthwhile.*
