Hey folks!

1. I'll be going to Tokyo again in July/August, so for all of you
in the US, preorder a copy of WT by sending your name and address
to morrowjp@rtsg.mot.com, we'll worry about money later..

(don't worry, this is not a money making oppurtunity for me..)

2. I saw Allan at the China Club in Chicago last year.
   Having only seen 'rock' acts, I was quite shocked by
the laid back atmosphere.  It was great though, especially
Pud Wud and Devil Take the Hindmost.  Is the size of a
club/venue inversely proportional to the talent of the
musician??

  I've been told by another Atavachron reader that Audiophile Imports
does have it, but it's $30.00 (ouch!). I don't have any experience
ordering from Audiophile Imports, but I'm led to believe that many of
these importers deal in very small quantities of stock, so it would
probably be advisable to call ahead to be sure that whatever you're
wanting to order is available (or when it's expected back in stock).

  No apologies necessary to *me*, Darryl; I'm sure that Allan is:

  a.) familiar with the condition in which you found yourself that
      Monday night, and;
  b.) aware that you do not speak for either myself or the rest of

  That's all for now (I am *swamped* with life!),

Talking to one of the sales reps. at Audiophile Imports (a local, for me

of the "Road Games" EP, although this time with extra tracks that never
made it to the original record.  Apparently, AI is talking with Allan
and trying to get him to agree to it.

Anyone have any information on this?  If it's true, I'm sure there would
be hundreds of people on this list alone that would be interested in getting

   Just a quick clarification RE: where Allan goes toward the end
of Zone, which gets mentioned often and, I believe, incorrectly...
   When I saw him in Alexandria (10/92) and on the
video, they go into the final section of ' Material Real,' the
final cut on Road Games.  This bit was transcribed in Guitar
Player sometime back in an article on Allan's chords (!) and is
quite interesting as it uses a simple two-chord phrase which
modulates through all 12 keys.  Way cool!  I'll try to find the
GP reference if any of y'all are interested.

Subject: Scales in "Road Games"


All:

I've been listening to the "Road Games" album quite a bit lately, in particular
the title track.  I've noticed that the guitar solo is played over the same

changes used for the verses, with the solo lasting for the space of two
verses. During the first verse, Allan employs the A minor scale, an appropriate
choice for soloing over the A minor chord that dominates the verse.  During the
second verse (second half of the solo), Allan switches gears and
uses a different scale for soloing.  It has a whole-tone'y feel, and it
eventually resolves back to theA minor scale toward the end of the solo.

Would anyone care to elaborate on what's going on here?  BTW, this certainly
isn't the only time Allan uses this scale or a variant thereof.  I would guess
it's most useful for soloing over a section that doesn't have a lot of harmonic
movement  (e.g.,  "Peril Premonition", solo section in "Devil Take The
Hindmost", etc.).

I really like the tension (and eventual release) that this scale creates and am
looking forward to your ideas on its execution so that I may include it in
my own playing.

Thanks!

Not about the re-release per se, but I do seem to recall that Road Games
was originally planned as a full lp release before "the management" decided
that Allan had to add vocals to it and to pare it down to a 6-song "mini-lp".
If that was true I'd love to hear the release as originally planned.

Audiophile's catalog was fairly impressive in its groupings of music
by artists, so that one could find related works, even though this did
make the same release appear in multiple places in the catalog. By I've
been to turned off by their high prices (Torsten de Winkel/Helmut Hattler
cds listed in there are for $28 or more, Tower had em cut out for $5.95 each),
and by their pushy attitude. When I called for a catlog they told me they
were just doing a huge mailing and it was too late to add me, unless I wanted
to just place an order. Otherwise I would have to wait a few months to get
the next catalog. They tried pushing a few titles on me and said I'd just
wait. The catalog arrived a long time later.

As I said, the catalog was impressive, and obviously a work of someone who
cared about the music. But I found something really strange and to me
questionable that I don't see in other mailorder catalogs. These guys offer
dubs on VHS of laserdiscs they have, for $49.95 each! Gee, how nice of them
to offer a service for those without Laserdisc players, but isn't this a
little bit too far into the grey market or black market? I'm amazed they
have the balls to do this, and to charge so much. It doesn't even appear
they sell the laserdiscs, just bootleg dubs. Now, I'm not naive about such
things and I've seen underground video collector catalogs, but I never saw
a legit business advertising such questionable merchandise. While they seem
to imply the laserdiscs are rare or perhaps out of print, many of them can
be ordered from Spectrum Music Videos at 1-800-84MUSIC (located somewhere
around Phildelphia). Hmmmm. Audiophile is not a business I really plan to
support.

They currently (6/10/93) have the Japanese release of "Wardenclyffe
Tower" in stock, and their catalog lists a lot of other Holdsworth
recordings (both as a bandleader and as a sideman).

(This isn't an advertisement: there was just a lot of interest in this

AI is a local phone call for me, so if you'd like to find out if something's

  The mention of this concerned me; since Restless had been unwilling
to pay Warner Bros.' asking price, it seemed pretty unlikely to me that
a small retailer would be able to justify the expense of licensing it.
So, I called this fellow up to check it out, and without intending to,
I put the guy on the defensive. He sounded pretty upset that this
information were being spread over the Internet, which aroused my
suspicions that perhaps he was not on-the-level (I think my lack of
objectivity at this point was understandable considering Allan's past
run-ins with bootleggers -- and after reading Malcolm's posting in this
digest, I'm sure I was predisposed to think the guy might be somewhat
shady). For now, I reserve judgement, but I may owe the man an apology
for being suspicious of him.
  So, I gave Allan a call shortly afterward to see if he knew anything
about this. He said he *had* spoken with the fellow who ran Audiophile
Imports, but that had been some time ago. He reiterated that _Road
Games_ is completely out of his control and that it was possible that
Warner Bros. were talking to people other than Restless. He said he'd
have someone look into it though.
  While I had him on the phone, I asked if he had anything new in
the works. He said that he was working on a new Andrea Marcelli release,
and said that he would be on a few tracks on Chad Wackerman's next
album, which is slated for release in early 1994. He also said that
he had studio time lined up for the fall to record his next release
(and despite another budget cut for the project by Restless, it will be
a "band" album, he said), and that the material was coming along nicely
(I forgot to ask about "Rococo" and "Low Levels, High Stakes," rats!).

  When I asked him about the expected U.S. dates for the fall, he
said they probably would not tour the U.S. again this year because
of a lack of booking commitments (which surprised me... at both the
shows I saw last year, the venues were packed to the rafters). I
asked him how many shows he would need to book and at what price,
in order to make an Autumn tour feasible, and both numbers were
surprisingly low, I thought. Does anyone in the midwest/east have any
connections into nightclubs or student activities committees?  If so,
you might want to contact me to trade notes. He said October would be
a good target, if any interest in bookings were to appear.

  That's all for now,

  Jeff

Subject: Guitar Tribute To The Beatles:  Come Together

Has anyone heard GUITAR TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES: COME TOGETHER (NYC 6004), Mike
Mainieri's new guitar tribute to the Beatles?  Mainieri "invited 11 guitarists
[including Allan] to play one Beatles song apiece in a variety of settings",
according to Scott Yanow's review of the CD in the August issue of JazzTimes.
You knew Allan was preparing a track for this project, right Jeff?  I'm pretty
sure he commented on it to you at some point.  Holdsworth's contribution to
the project was "Michelle".  Yanow terms AH "the remarkable Allan
Holdsworth". :)  Among the other contributors are Adrian Belew, Larry Coryell,
Ralph Towner, John Abercrombie, Toots Thielemans, Toninho Horta and Steve
Khan.  Sounds interesting, both in concept and based on Yanow's review, which
is positive on the whole.

Very interesting.  I've done business with Audiophile imports, strictly
to purchase compact discs and haven't had one problem with them.  I've
got discs from Uzeb, Percy Jones, Allan, Mike Keneally, and other artists
from them and have had not one problem.  I'm not an employee, just a
satisfied customer.  Yes, some of the discs are expensive - but if you
want some of the rarest stuff you have to pay the freight.  Besides, I
really doubt you'll ever see copies of "Soma" or "Strange Advance" at
your local record store.


I'd love Road Games out - however, I don't ever expect to see it because
Warner Brothers records have manifestly shown that they are "poopheads"
in dealings with many artists, Allan, Michael Hoenig and Frank Zappa are
three artists I can cite in particular.

Hoenig was another artist who couldn't get the master tapes for his second
record and had to re-do them again, many years later.

Zappa's troubles with Warners are legendary.

And we all know the Holdsworth/Van Halen/Ted Templemen fiasco.

Subject: Bastard son of a Steinberger

Jeff, could you possibly post some information about this Bill DeLap (is that
the name of the luthier?!) instrument Allan's been playing recently?  I was
quite surprised that it wasn't actually a Steinberger, particularly since I'd
swear that the instrument is equipped with a Transtrem and the trademark
carbon/graphite neck.  (I wonder how Ned Steinberger feels about this?!)  Could
Allan's patronage of another luthier have anything to do with the recent
shutting down of Steinberger assembly operations I heard about recently?

(Sorry to ramble, but as a Steinberger player, I'm intrigued by this business).

Thanks,
Andre LaFosse

Subject: Road Games, Strange Japanese import disc

Just to put my vote in - I'd definitely buy "Road Games" if it was re-released
on CD.

On a different subject, I found an interesting disc at a local record store
yesterday.  It appears to be a Japanese import, bearing the title "Best Works
Collection / Allan Holdsworth".  I'm trying to figure out where all of the
material on this disc came from; all of the liner notes other than the writing
credits are in Japanese, and (in spite of my last name), I can't read
Japanese.

Some of the tracks on it are from "With a Heart in My Song" (with Gordon
Beck), which I have; there are also apparently a couple of tracks from "The
Things You See" (which I don't have).  Well, here's a list of the tracks on
the disc:

With A Heart In My Song
    From the album with the same name...

Diminished Responsability [sp]
    Apparently from "The Things You See", with Gordon Beck.  Some of this
    sounds like snippets of "Karzie Key", from Velvet Darkness.

Hazard Profile Part I
    Don't recognize this; writing credit says Karl Jenkins.

Equus
    From "With a Heart..."

At The Edge
    Apparently from "The Things You See", with Gordon Beck.  Actually seems to
    be a laid-back version of the track "The Things You See (When You Haven't
    Got Your Gun)", which appeared on the IOU album.

54, Duncan Terrace
    The version from "With a Heart...", not the version from "Secrets".

The Gathering
    Don't recognize this; writing credit says Gordon Beck.

The Things You See
    Apparently from the album of the same name...

Halfway House
    Don't recognize this; writing credit says Gordon Beck.

Finery
    Don't recognize this; writing credit says Holdsworth / Young / Mathewson /
    Stevens.  From one of the John Stevens albums (I don't have any of these)?
    Typo?  (apparently there's a track "Finally" on "Touching On").

Rocks
    Don't recognize; writing credit says Randy Brecker.  At times, reminds me
    of some of his work with Bruford.  Actually sounds a little like Bruford
    on drums, come to think of it...

Gone Sailing
    Short acoustic piece (about a minute), similar to some of the acoustic
    work on Velvet Darkness.

If anyone knows where all of these tracks came from, I'd like to know -- I'd
like to try to get the albums that this stuff originally appeared on.

Subject: THE THINGS YOU SEE/SUNBIRD

Anyone know why there's a slash in this title?  Were these Holdsworth/Beck
collaborations originally released as two separate albums, one recorded in
1979 and one recorded in 1980?  Just curious.

Subject:      Under construction: An administrative note


  Hello everyone. Just a short administrative note to let you know
that this is the last Atavachron digest you will receive until after
7/1/93. Yes, Morehead State is finally taking a bold step into the
20th Century of computing (heh) and replacing its tired Prime 9955 II
with the fabled Hewlett-Packard 9000/G50, which means we Atavachron
subscribers have a lot of nifty new things in store once everything is
completed. In the meantime, if you send a posting to

  atavachron@morekypr.morehead-st.edu

  ... and it bounces back, *please* just hang onto it and resend it
after you get the "all-clear" from me.  :)  I will send a short message
to all the subscribers letting you know when the move is complete. The
new address for POSTINGS will be:

  atavachron@msuacad.morehead-st.edu

  ... while ADMINISTRATIVE REQUESTS should go to:

  listserv@msuacad.morehead-st.edu

  This will be repeated in the "all-clear" message, along with details
about our new services and mail distribution options.

  Thanks for your time,

  Jeff
