Chris Thomas - listening "Meanwhile Back At The Ranch/Should I Smoke" multi-tracks
(listening with Dan to a then dull transfer, before they were paid to be re-done by Dan Matovina later to mix "demonstration" bonus tracks for fans on new 2018 release)
Badfinger: A Conversation with Chris Thomas by Eoghan Lyng (April 28, 2019)
Pete was on guitar, playing something like six solos, all very comb, and paper “doo de doo doo doo.” It was like being back in the days with bands, there were solos, saxophone players, in that ‘comb and paper’ way. So, years later, when I was working with Paul, I suggested to him this idea. I wanted to deconstruct the idea. It was something like playing live and six guitars going for it. He said he had a similar idea and even had a name for it: ‘Rockestra’!
Dan Matovina on CD and red vinyl reissues 2018-19 - Wish You Were Here and Badfinger - So Fine vinyl (April 13, 2019)
The bonus tracks on the double vinyl are pretty much what was on the CDs, but a refreshed sound being of some vinyl prep I did, and I did a few noticeable sonic tweaks of parts for Wish You Were Here bonus vinyl disc, on about four of the tracks I think, but nothing notable. The mastering engineer for the vinyl told me I had done a flawless preparation for the “vinyl” prep and he had to do almost no added technical work to it.
