MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series
MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

Renaissance – Delane Lea Studios 1973
Renaissance – DeLane Lea Studios 1973 (51:16, CD, Purple Pyramid Records, 1973 / 2015) Ursprünglich handelte es sich bei den hier auf CD veröffentlichten Aufnahmen von Renaissance um einen Radiomitschnitt, der bereits in der Vergangenheit mehrfach als Bootleg kursierte. Inwieweit das in Los Angeles ansässige Reissue Label Purple Pyramid Records (veröffentliche in der Vergangenheit u.a. Nektar, Greenslade, Amon Düül II) nun der rechtmäßige Besitzer der Aufnahmen ist, bleibt etwas im Dunkeln. Zwar findet sich auf der Renaissance-Webseite bisher kein Hinweis auf diesen Tonträger, andererseits kann man aber über diverse Internetkanäle das Album ganz offiziell erwerben und es ist auch eine weitere Liveaufnahme „Academy Of Music“ von der ’74er Tour angekündigt. Vielleicht wurde auch ganz einfach die Gunst der Stunde genutzt, um im Rahmen der anstehenden Live-Aktivitäten der Band etwas Geld – von wem und für wenn auch immer – in die Kassen zu spülen. Genug der Mutmaßungen, ab zur Musik. Dieser Live-Mitschnitt entstand 1973 in den DeLane Lea Studios in London, einer Lokation, in der die Band bereits im gleichen Jahr das damals aktuelle Album „Ashes Are Burning“ aufnahm, welches aber auch von Künstlern wie The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Queen oder Pink Floyd genutzt wurde. Da man sich aus verschiedenen Gründen dagegen entschied auf Tour zu gehen (u.a. wg. der damalige Ölkrise), lud man kurzerhand die nächsten Freude ein und spielte einfach einen knapp 51-minütigen Gig Live im Studio, welcher auch bei der BBC gesendet wurde. Als Gäste traten zudem bei „Ashes Are Burning“ die mit der Band befreundeten Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) und Singer / Songwriter Al Stewart (u.a. -

Musical Time Travel 50th Anniversary Ashes Are Burning: An Anthology/Live In Concert, Renaissance (2CD + DVD + BluRay, Esoteric/Cherry Red) A Midsummer Night's Dream: Deluxe Edition, Oberon (2CD, Grapefruit/Cherry Red I'd kind of misunderstood the announcement of this new Renaissance album and concert film, assuming it to be an expanded reissue of the band's classic Ashes Are Burning album, perhaps with a live album attached. But it isn't. What we get is the current incarnation of the band, helmed and fronted by Annie Haslam, coupled with the ten-piece 'Renaissance Chamber Orchestra', in concert. Renaissance have worked with a full orchestra before (the New York Philharmonic, no less) as captured on their wonderful Live at Carnegie Hall double album, but that was firmly rooted in rock, especially the 23-minute bass- led wig out of 'Ashes Are Burning' that ended the album. Here, however, the music feels prettified and ornamented, devoid of the punch that the band used to underpin Haslam's spectacular vocals with. Haslam still has a strong vocal range, but to be honest it's not what it was, and the whole affair seems somewhat pedestrian: what was once gutsy hard-edged prog with operatic vocals soaring above has drifted into orchestrated MOR. 'Carpet of the Sun' and 'Ocean Gypsy' still offer up beautiful melodies and the succinct 'Ashes Are Burning' on offer here is still a great song, I just wanted more. Even a couple of appearances by 'special guest' Jim McCarty from the original band line-up doesn't add much sparkle to this somewhat neutered and over-polite offering.
