Soft Machine "Live in 1970"



Soon to be released: A 4 CD compilation of live recordings of Soft Machine in 1970, called (hold your breath!) "Live in 1970" (Retroworld 2014).

This seems to be a collection of tracks already present on other releases, but is said to be "re-mastered with extensive liner notes".

If you have any info, please share.

The band: Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper, with Lyn Dobson present on two of the CDs.

Tracklist over here.

Soft Machine - Live At Het Turfschip



I have not bought every single archival release of Soft Machine material, but this seems to be a new release on Vinyl Lovers (the same label that gave us this one): Soft Machine - "Live At Het Turfschip, Netherlands, 31 January 1970".

This seems to be exactly the same material that Voiceprint released on "Breda Reactor" in 2005, with these fine gentlemen playing:
- Robert Wyatt - drums, voice
- Mike Ratledge - Lowery organ,
electric piano
- Hugh Hopper - bass guitar
- Elton Dean - alto sax, saxello
- Lyn Dobson - tenor & soprano
saxes, flute, harmonica, voice
