Soft Machine
Man in a Deaf Corner - Anthology 1963-1970 (2 CDs)
Mooncrest Records CRESTDCD 062 || 2002 || £13.94 +tax & p+p

Double CD of Soft's oddities inc rare early Daevid Allen

Daevid appears on 3 tracks on this double CD of Soft Machine rarities and oddities Track 2, which dates from 1963, is the Daevid Allen Trio Band live in London and is one of the earliest pre Soft Machine recordings around. It was originally included on the deleted 'Live 1963' CD and is a strange and illuminating slice of what was to follow and one of the longest tracks on the release. Daevid also pops up on tracks 7 and 8 in the '66-'67 first Soft Machine line-up.

The rest of the tracks are mostly live recordings of various pre '71 Softs. Tracks 1-10 are the 1969 Paradiso gig, 11-12 from 'Europe 1970' and 13-16 from Croydon in April 1970. The interesting liner notes are by Brian Hooper, who knows coz he was there.

One other non Daevid track of interest to non-Machine aficionados is 'Hope For Happiness' which the University of Errors have been covering so well on gigs - well worth checking out this original.
