Tight But Loose issue 21, published in August 2008, included a Garden Tapes feature, discussing some of the differences between the original 1976 releases of The Song Remains The Same and the 2007 remastered versions, and highlighting in particular the reasons why the new CD failed to live up to expectations. Visit Tight But Loose for ordering information.
The Garden Tapes was rewritten between November 2007 and February 2008 to cover The Song Remains The Same Two Disc Special Edition DVD and Remastered & Expanded Soundtrack CD and to incorporate additional information about the original releases and correct a number of errors, omissions and oversimplifications.
New features covering Celebration Day and Live At The Olympia were added in December 2014.
Thanks to all Garden Tapes readers for your patience, encouragement and continuing interest.
