Hi Bruce,

The French version is currently available at

https://www.amazon.co.jp/Paris-Olympia- ... B00006ALH2

It might also be helpful if you contact the seller of the first item listed by Ivo in the previous post. He lives in Australia and is specialized in Cliff & Shadows CDs. He is very helpful.

Good luck,

Ulrich

Hank's sound on this album is somewhat heavier. Maybe this is because of the humbuckers he had fitted at the time on the black Stratocaster.

Hank was using his Maestro Echoplex at that time

Was Echoplex the same device that John Martyn used around the same time?
If so, it can be seen during an appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test during 'Discover the lover'.

Hi Roy,

Hank's Echoplex was just a run of the mill model, that was for sale at that time.
Sure during the years Echoplex changed on tiny details, but the the main part stayed more or less the same.


Cheers Rob

Early models used valves while later models used transistors.

It's the same as the one in the pic. The one Brian May used with the sliding head.
