En fait il s'agit d'un montage qui reprend les 2 parties
publiées dans l'audiobook ou le CD (qui font 43:14 minutes)
auxquelles on a ajouté des textes lus par Patti Smith
(à partir de la plage 75 As I look back) et d'autres prises
déjà publiées comme Kingdoms of our own. | | Ce message a été modifé par jimborrison (14 Jul 2021, 2:11) | Citer |

14 Jul 2021, 14:44 | | Oui effectivement, je me doute que la voix de Patti Smith provient de l’audio book. En revanche moi je n’avais jamais entendu des textes comme : « Where are my dreamers ? » je ne savais pas que les autres enregistrements étaient déjà sortis. | | Citer |

15 Jul 2021, 8:28 | 28. The Village Recorder Tapes
Jim recorded his poems and songs at the Village Recorder, an audio recording studio in West Los Angeles, California, on December 8, 1970, his twenty-seventh birthday. He rented the studio, asked music producer and engineer John Haeny to engineer the session, and invited a few friends to attend, listen, and celebrate with him. He read from typewritten pages prepared for him from his notebooks by Katherine Lisciandro, who was, at that time, The Doors’ office secretary. This transcript comprises all the material that Jim had prepared to record during the session. You can read more about the evening in the Introduction and hear Jim read the transcript on the digital audio version of this book.

15 Jul 2021, 8:50 | On the night of his twenty-seventh birthday, December 8, 1970, Jim rented a studio at the Village Recorder in West Los Angeles to tape his poetry and a few songs for an album contracted by Elektra Records. He asked music producer and engineer John Haeny to record the session; and he invited a few friends—Kathy Lisciandro, The Doors’ secretary; Florentine Pabst, a German journalist; and me—to listen and celebrate with him. I brought a camera.
After almost two hours of reading from typed pages, Jim called a time out: “Okay. Now, let’s go get a taco.” We walked a couple of blocks to the Lucky U, a Mexican restaurant and bar that was a hangout for UCLA film students. My photos show us taking a break, enjoying tacos and beers, and having a few laughs.
Back in the studio, after another sixty minutes of reading and singing, Jim invited Florentine and Kathy to read with him. They were reluctant until he told them that the poem, “Soldier’s Wife’s Letter,” had a part for women’s voices. For a few more minutes they feigned uncertainty, but John Haeny was soon positioning a microphone for them, and Jim was showing them on the typescript pages where he wanted them to start.
The fun began when he asked them to read in unison. A handful of hilarious false starts and the mix of pronunciations—both correct and incorrect—in Florentine’s German-accented English and Kathy’s Brooklyn accent—had us all in stiches. In time they got the hang of reading together and sailed through a couple of good takes. Jim was enchanted. John, noting the late hour, tried to end the session, but the women insisted on hearing a playback of their reading. They glowed and smiled at each other as they listened to the good takes; then they both insisted on hearing the tracks again.
In the dark early morning, John finally kicked us out so he could shut down the recording console and tape machines. We were tired, yet averse to ending the celebration. Kathy and I drove home to Laurel Canyon quoting—and often misquoting—Jim’s visionary phrases and lines to each other.
Sur cette base, on peut affirmer que cette session
complète devait dépasser les 3 heures d'enregistrement...
Seules 43:14 minutes auraient-elles pu en être conservées ? | | Citer |
