spg, >I don't after all have my cd collection/etc. here in the UK, but I recall >that there was something from Fripp on this during the "Drive to 1984", >either on the liner notes for (I think) "Under Heavy Manners/God Save the >Queen" or one of the articles he did for Musician or Guitar Player. At >the time lots of us were trying to catch his store performances wouldn't know: i was not amongst the folk trying to catch those performances. in fact --- wauuugh --- the only times i've heard rf playing 'live' was when 'blue' and kc toured japan, together, 2 years ago --- and, once, the year before that, in a studio. <snipping> >As we know now there was a lot of necessary maneuvering going on in the >background, involving what we came to know as "a trilogy", namely the >unreleased "Sacred Songs", Peter Gabriel's second album (containing >"Exposure"), and RF's own "Exposure" LP, the last of which has been >revealed >to be his compilation of sorts of all the material he was working on. >Tellingly, a lot of the songs on "Sacred Songs" are also on "Exposure", >though they are mixed a bit differently, and have different vocals/words. ..... i'm not familiar w/that stuff, but for the pg record --- which i loved. >On this last one, though, I have to differ.
