OFF: Mahavishnu Project (was Re: OFF: Vinyl)

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

'Lost Trident Sessions' is a gem - it's the legenadary studio album that
should have followed 'Birds Of Fire' but then either the band or the label
(forget which) vetoed it and the live one came out instead. Anyway, yuo get
a couple of the tracks from the live album as shortened studio versions and
the reat are originals. All a bit short but represents that era's band in
full flowing flight and is an essential addition to the 'trilogy' - pity
it's so flamin' expensive in the UK where it costs us over nine pounds plus
VAT just to buy from the record company - I know a load of customers who are
just hanging in there waiting until it drops to mid-price!!!!
