Better than a mere tribute album, this compilation is actually Pink Floyd's legendary album covered in its entirety and original playing order by Shadow Gallery, Enchant, Cairo, Magellan and other masters of today's progressive music.
Robert Berry’s latest effort through Magna Carta Records is a compilation of his contributions on several tribute albums that the record label had done in the past. This compilation is appropriately titled "Prime Cuts", showcasing his talents of reworking some classic works of Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Rush and ELP. This is a fantastic compilation for fans of Robert Berry, who may not want to have the full albums from which these tracks are from.
Eight priceless 1966 tracks by tragically underrecorded guitarist Floyd Jones are paired for this CD with eight more by sessionmate Eddie Taylor. Produced in both cases by Testament boss Pete Welding with Big Walter Horton on harp, pianist Otis Spann, and drummer Fred Below lending their collective hands, Jones re-creates his dour, uncompromising "Dark Road," "Hard Times," and "Stockyard Blues" with an early-'50s sense of purpose.–by Bill Dahl
This headline show was part of the star-studded 1990 Silver Clef Winners performance at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire that saw Pink Floyd topping the all-star bill that included Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Genesis, Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant (with Jimmy Page), Cliff Richard, Eric Clapton and Tears For Fears. Around 120,000 music fans saw these giants of rock appear on the hallowed stage of Knebworth, all in aid of the Nordoff Robbins charity, profits from which went towards setting up the BRIT School.
