Newsletter du 01/10/2023 : toutes les nouveautés publiées sur le site depuis 4 mois.
Prochaine parution : 28 janvier 2024

Cette 58ème newsletter fête les 20 ans d'existence du site dédié à Robert Wyatt, auteur-compositeur-interprète cher à nos coeurs. Rendez-vous dans 20 ans !

Un ami bien renseigné me signale l'existence d'un enregistrement fabuleux du concert de WMWM (R. Wyatt, D. MacRae, G. Windo and R. Mathewson) à la BBC en avril 1973. Certes on en trouve une version sur You Tube mais amputée et de qualité sonore médiocre. Quelques autres versions toutes aussi incomplètes circulent sur le net depuis plusieurs années. Mais comment dénicher l'enregistrement complet et de très bonne qualité pour le partager sur le site ? Cet appel au peuple suffira-t-il ?
  This 58th newsletter celebrates the 20th anniversary of the website dedicated to Robert Wyatt, the singer-songwriter so dear to our hearts. See you in 20 years!

A well-informed friend pointed out to me the existence of a fabulous recording of the WMWM concert (R. Wyatt, D. MacRae, G. Windo and R. Mathewson) on the BBC in April 1973. Certainly a version of it can be found on You Tube but amputated and poor sound quality. A few other equally incomplete versions have been circulating on the internet for several years. But how do you find the complete, high-quality recording to share on the site? Will this appeal to the people be enough?
