Not heard this before but apparently a engineer at Apple studios has developed a programme that can perfectly split down a one track recording into multiple tracks. They've just used it to restore Ravi Shankar Woodstock performance. 

 

Heard it on the Rolling Stone Woodstock podcast. He is saying that it can split the beatles all sharing one mic. Could be a massive step forward for some old concerts or old blues/jazz recordings from the 30-50s

Nice version that Stig.

 

Interesting story for you regarding the original singer Liz Fraser. Read an interview with her from a few years ago. In it she referred to the brief but very intense relationship she had with Jeff Buckley in the mid 90's and how she regrets the way she handled the break up and had been able to support him better with his career

 

She said she was recording Teardrop when she heard about him going missing. Still haunts her a bit today.

Wow mate great interview that. I'll never listen to Teardrop the same way again. I love Jeff Buckley. 

 

I always feel a sense of pride when musicians like her say they turn down mega bucks instead of selling themselves out.

Yeah thought you'd like it mate. I'm a big Buckley fan myself. Imagine recording a tune like that and finding out that someone you once really loved and still hold a candle for dies the same day.

 

She is brilliant, like you said did her own thing and never sold out.

Teardrop is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Fitting that story.
