REVIEW: |
It seems that Ronnie Wood planned a video documentary called "Ron Wood
- A Private View" in 1982, which has never been aired (or even completed).
Many parts of the source videos, mostly shot by Mark Pines, appeared on
archive.org quite recently. Most of the circulating videos are very compressed,
so the idea behind this release was to get these in best quality. It took
endless hours to download mega-files with 10 -70 GB per film and to separate
uncompressed audios. These files were partly in mono, partly silent but mostly
in better quality than all we had of this before. For this series, only the
musical content was of interest. In this part we find a jam session between
Bobby Womack and Ron Wood in Wood's rented Los Angeles house on 26 September
1982.
Some of the unidentified tracks got "benchmark" titles here
(put in quotation marks). During this long jam it seemed that Bobby Womack played
a lot of his new compositions to Ronnie, some of them seem to be unreleased
until today. Interestingly Run Away was recorded by Ronnie Wood for his never
released 1987 album Automatic.
The source has
been de-clicked, the channels rebalanced and the sound refocused. No rumble
reduction filter was used in order not to alter the sound.
*Because of the several noises and the heavy
rumble in the right channel, it was decided to keep only the left channel and
to duplicate it in the first 30 seconds.
** The rumble is heavy in the outro. A slight
rumble reduction filter was applied only in the outro.
Part I: comes
from the video called ‘Protection_ Master 56’, Bobby Womack starts to play
guitar at around 21’38 in the video. The right channel was flawed by a lot of
noises: it was decided to keep only the left channel and to duplicate it; two
little noises at 0’45 have been deleted. Part Two comes from
‘Protection_Master_08’ while Part III comes from ‘Protection_Master_58’20: Track
18. Run Away (a short patch was used to attenuate a flaw at 0.55): Track 20, Unidentified
#3 ("slow down") started in Master_58 and continues in Master_59:
both segments are reconnected (a 1 second patch in the beginning of the 2nd
part was used). Part IV comes from ‘Protection _Master 59’, here both channels
have been refocused (the right one was 0,0001sec in advance): Track 38. So Many
Rivers (a gap at 1’18 was deleted), 37. Track 37, Unidentified #13a (hummed
song with Jealous Guy-like melody) Track 39 Unidentified #13b (Jealous Guy-like
melody, but totally different lyrics). This recording is interesting but mostly
for completists, the overall sound output is acceptable but not excellent,
however it consists mostly of Wood and Womack jamming on acoustic guitars.
