Hey Tom - what a blast, from my Big Fun past. Thanks for reminding me. I saw Tim & band on tour for this album at the Old Waldorf over in SF, a smallish sit-down club in the Financial District. Absolutely riveting show - Curry was the penultimate performer and while he didn't have the crack band from the album that night, he didn't NEED them as he was a force of nature.
My desert-isle Ten includes Curry's first album "Read My Lips". What a recording, ALL great songs with a ton of diversity. Bob Ezrin did a bang-up job on the production and it was a show piece on my old Conrad-Johnson bi-amped Acoustats. It's a freakin' CRIME that "Read My Lips" and the rest have never been released in remastered digital format. Me, being me, sold off all my vinyl back in '82, probably to finance a three-day & night bacchanal! - String
