    I see many comments regarding the politics aspect of the artists. Just to make it clear, I despise politics in general and I avoid them like the devil. I just share tracks that from my perspective have something to offer, pleasure wise. Hopefully no-one will misjudge me for that.

      OH, Don't worry, the people discussing Fringe Accelerationist views are actually referencing a Hearts of Iron 4 mod called Red Flood where nobody wins WW1. The United States can potentially collapse into a warlord era and one of the accelerationist factions can be led by the man who mentored L. Ron Hubbard, and this song was used as the unification theme.

    • @kelbale
      @kelbale Рік тому +2

      While audio quality can be improved, for a band to be "remastering" is usually more about ownership of recordings and to reclaim the music to move past any incumberances. Like if RCA owned this and wasn't giving them a fair shake, they'd remaster (create something very like but unique to itself) independantly or with another publisher under a more favorable deal.

    • @psychesoap

    2:06 is where Ronny would jump from side stage and and dazzle his flock with a pre-planned dance that mixed the style of tap and the Jitterbug. Then he immediately left stage and collapsed down at the mixing board with a slight smile appearing as he soaked up the claps and yelps from the audience. By 2:47 he appeared exactly as pictured here. Calm, cool, collected. The two people to the right of him, having seen this kind of show stealing showmanship before, are over it, but not enough to be labeled "suppressive persons." But boy are those looks pushing it.

    "Chicago with a seasoning of John Coltrane and Miles Davis....." an attempt at contemporary jazz at that time. Reminiscent of Chicago circa 1974 like our walk in the park. You see Ron Hubbard with his Apollo Stars - for the Flagship Apollo on mission of goodwill in Mediterranean and Atlantic Port of Calls.... you can see the Nakamichi Cassette Deck (for recording the sessions to the left of the keyboard) - I sent him from New York! Cassettes were the latest Hi-Tech innovation at that time....
