Steve Hackett Selling England by the Pound and Spectral Mornings live at the Hammersmith 5.1 mixed by Steven Wilson

[Infomas]

The guitar work that Hackett has done on some of the live Selling England songs in the past has been exquisite. I can't wait to hear it properly mixed!

Selling England By The Pound & Spectral Mornings, Live At Hammersmith: Limited Edition 4LP + 2CD Box Set
"""""""""""
Steve Hackett proudly states about “Selling England By The Pound & Spectral Mornings: Live At Hammersmith” and adds: “Great live sound by Ben Fenner, fabulous mixes by Roger King, amazing surround sound by Steven Wilson....
"""""""""""

Many people works for the production of sound.

Roger King (who makes me forget Tony Banks for a moment) has been also the mixer in previous albums. But the final masters didn't sound crisp and clear.

Steven Wilson collaborates on surround sound. Would just he say what recorded tracks would go to the surrounds? Would he be responsible for the final master quality?

We will see. I really hope a step up in final sound quality

I just got an e-mail from Bull Moose stating that the release of this title is delayed until October 16th.

Yay! Used Moose points and got it ordered for $15.48

ah good news, I saw Steve play in 2019 but I can't recall if they did the whole "selling England" album or not?

was a good show though. I'll probably pick this up!

What does this mean? Steven Wilson collaborates on the surround??? Tell someone else what to do or doing by himself???

I believe it was the whole SEBTP album; yes, setlist.fm confirms the Oct 2019 show I saw in Cleveland is the whole album front to back. Then cherry picked Spectral Mornings tunes. Loved it.

He mixed this. That's his "collaboration."

Managed to get the artbook 4-disc edition for $46.39 shipped, on Deep Discount with the DEEP10 code. I think that's as low as it gets for the artbook. They're also saying 2 October for the release date...

These tired album tribute shows so many years after the fact...

But a music release with these 3 ingredients - 5.1, Steve Wilson, Steve Hackett - is a must buy!

Not sure what to think about this.

I'll admit I have all of his live material, audio and video, going back to the beginning of his Camino records days and used to sign everything that went out the door. I'll take all the live stuff I can get from him. I'm thinking this should be the best of the Genesis tribute ones though, with Craig Blundell on the drums and the Steven Wilson mixing. I hope so...

I saw this show with my brother late 2019, in Portsmouth UK.
All the drum beats, guitar licks, bass beats and vocals were utterly fantastic.....not forgetting Rogers organ playing.
I have every confidence in Steve capturing the true essence of this fabulous show.

I have seen Hackett solo shows several times and I do believe the musicianship and the outstanding classic content will more than suffice.

Arrived today.
Will give it a spin soon.

As expected the mix is perfectly balanced with full creamy lowend. Nothing is boomy!
It is discreet and powerful!
This is the best Hackett live release! SW has done it again! 10!

Fantastic...mine is on it's way, cheers for the review. SW rules!!

 

[beerking]

Got mine today.
It is utterly fantastic in every department.
Is this the top live album of 2020...it sure is.
One thing for sure, Steve Wilson is the master at what he does and it's here in bucket loads.
10 is no where near what this release deserves.

Wow, can’t wait for mine!!

Where’d you order it from and when do you expect it, Gene?
