dkaycom Group: Members Posts: 443 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: July 02 2003, 11:27 the 1st one -according to the tracklength- seems to be taken from "The Fairlyight Mixes (Viareggio 1984). @ the 2nd I'm not sure about its source, as they don't fit any tracklength of "Etude"-versions I've heard so far... could be edited versions, though.... I wouldn't pay more than 1 € for those. Later, dkay -------------- Bootlegs should be shared not sold.

Never heard of it before?  It is the original unpublished 'classical' version of the track that eventually became 'Etude'. Good to know that the seller is well informed... Cavatina is a tune by Stanley Myers, most famously arranged for classical guitar by John Williams and used in the soundtrack to the film The Deerhunter. The tune which became Étude is 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra' by Francisco Tárrega - Mike played it on some of his 80s tours (I believe the 1984 one), but without hearing the recording being sold, I couldn't say if that's where the recording has come from.

Simon Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Aug. 08 2003, 16:19 I got these off eBay. They are instrumental In High Places, & Cavatina is actually Etude (3 versions). Sounds like they are early studio demos. Quality is stunning!!   Back to top
