BOC: Six Degrees of Imaginos

[Jeff Thompson]

I've always thought that if Rhino released Stalk Forrest
material, they should release Imaginos "the way it was
meant to be."  Too expensive to secure the rights?  Sigh.

Joey C did final vocals on del rio's song, gil blanco county and  
magna of illusion as well as siege. Steve Schenck has the tapes. I  
don't know if they will ever be released but I know they are all  
excellent. I also have another excellent instrumental version of  
imaginos that no one has heard, There might be better final vocals  
from me but I was not singing so well at that time. I'm sure I could  
do them a lot better now. :-(
