If we go really particular on the era that picture was taken then I'd say we finally get to hear the recordings he trashed before getting Zeus B Held on board and doing The Golden Section. Now that would be my wish come true since the early Endlessly/Young Man release was about the last thing he did that I really liked.
Aren't these available among the extra tracks on the 2CD set issue a couple of years ago...?
A number of years ago, John said that he'd scrapped an entire albums worth of material - this was after
The Garden, but before
The Golden Section. That album was even given a title -
In The Glow - but a final track-listing was never published.
However, some of the material that was due to appear on that album - tracks like
Dance With Me and
A Woman On A Stairway - did get formally released as B'sides and extra tracks on some of the singles taken from
The Golden Section. All of that material, together with some previously unreleased
Early and
Alternative tracks, appeared back in 2008 on the second disc of
The Golden Section CD.
