Zappa about Lowell George
"There's another guy who shouldn't use drugs." - Zappa i"Lowell was a great friend of mine and one of the most talented people to ever grace the music industry. We became friends when Lowell joined the band. I was responsible for forming Little Feat. I introduced him to all the guys and I arranged his first record deal with Warner Bros. History was made." - Zappa

Would love to hear this:
Steely Dan "Second Arrangement" Tapes found
My problem with some of my favortie bands like Little Feet, Steely Dan and Allman Bros is their limited output.
I have been listening to this music for 50 plus years, so anything thats more and different is a total treat.
In comparison, Grateful Dead has something like 3500 different shows and never played a song the same way twice. It's a never ending source of discovery.

There is also now a version that was found on a DAT that to my ears sounded a little bit better, and that DAT also contained an early working version of Third World Man, which would ultimately become the track that replaced Second Arrangement on the 1980 Grammy winning Gaucho album.
Tale of the tape
Listen to Roger Nichols's long-awaited "Second Arrangement" cassette

As an exclamation to my point about Grateful Dead... here's a little something from 1973:

I already have the MFSL albums on vinyl and cd. By "hi-rez" do they mean SACD or just streaming? I don't think I'll be purchasing.Should be interesting to hear if there is much improvement, I have always thought the Little Feat CDs had a pretty good sound as it.
Little Feat Announce Newly Remastered Editions 'Sailin' Shoes and 'Dixie Chicken'
Little Feat Announce Newly Remastered Editions 'Sailin' Shoes and 'Dixie Chicken' with rare and unreleased recordings out June 23rdwww.rockandbluesmuse.com
@Drybasement HiRez is not SACD, but a higher resolution than CD. These days there are resoultions higher than 24/96 out there. My Focusrite has a 32 floating/384 setting I can record at. IDK if one can burn or read these files to CDs, but my guess is that most players couldn't read or play the higher resolution. Many DACs out there can accomodate the higher resolutions with ease, and the files are able to be saved to hard drives, thumb drives or accessed via stream, which is the preferred format these days due to convenience, cost, and spatial concerns. Both of those recordings are availble on Quboz in 24/96 quality.
"Does Hi-Res Audio sound better than CD?
High-Resolution Audio files have a sampling frequency of 96 kHz/24 bit, which is significantly higher than the 44.1 KHz/16 bit sampling frequency of CDs."
