Comments:  It was inevitable that the Cowdray Ruins gig, of which we
           reported extensively in the previous Echoes, would turn up
           on CD.  This CD however is not a regular one. It's a
           CD-Recordable.  This system, through which you can put your
           own recordings on CD, has been on the market in Japan for
           some time. From there is also this CD. The Japanese have
           been doing some work in the sitting-room on more than one
           occasion, witnessing the several roio acetates that have
           emerged in the past. But that on the side, back to the CD.
           What you can hear is a nearly complete registration of the
           concert in a reasonable sound quality. Besides tracks from
           Genesis, Queen and Eric Clapton, a trio Pink Floyd songs can
           be found on it. Especially the first song, "Run Like Hell",
           sounds very 'tight', with a different intro, compared to the
           World Tour versions. "Wish You Were Here" also sounds very
           nice, but "Comfortably Numb" is now and then overcast by too
           fanatic singing-along of the audience.

           The CD ends with a song by all bands together, as "The
           Cowdray Ruins Band".

           This CD doesn't contain essential material but would have
           been a nice embellishment to a box like Total Eclipse.

           The number of printed CD's is hard to estimate, but it can't
           hardly be more than a few tens, so grab your chance if you
           run across a copy. - (Charles Beterams) Dutch Fanzine
