One of the premier reissue labels in England today, BGO Records released a double CD by Traffic founder Dave Mason back in the early 2000s. That first Dave Mason reissue on BGO was followed in 2008 by the 18 track, 2 on 1 CD remaster of Dave Mason / Split Coconut. Released months after Daves first album for Columbia, entitled Its Like You Never Left, the early 75 release of Dave Mason sounds better and fresher today than it did back in 1974. Bolstered by a fresh batch of Mason originals, the 74 Dave Mason album features highlights such as rocking Mason covers of All Along The Watchtowera track he co-produced and recorded with Jimi Hendrix on 1968's Electric Ladylandand Sam Cookes Bring It On Home To Me. Joining Masons self-titled second Columbia album on BGOs two-fer CD is late 1975s Split Coconut album. Aside from a cover of Buddy Hollys Crying, Waiting, Hoping the album boasts eight Mason originals including the title track. Extensive 2008 liner notes by John Tobler provide extensive insight into Masons musical chronology during and after Traffic as well as bringing the Dave Mason story nearly up to date. As Tobler correctly brings to light, long time fans are hoping that BGO Records brings out more vintage Mason recordings that are just crying to be heard once again. www.BGO-Records.com |
