THANK YOU!! Truly & wholeheartedly. Thank you! It's like listening to a new Al Stewart album. Amazing! Where did you find these sings and the quality is quite good indeed.... As Al hasn't put out a new album in over a decade this is quite beautiful! Does Al know about this...?
You are welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment it's always nice to know someone has listened to the album in it's entirety and enjoyed it. Most of these tracks are actually availiable on CZcams individually although I have made some changes to them that I detail in the comments of this video. This project came about because there was so much really good unreleased stuff out there that I was curious whether I could use it to construct an album that flowed well, and 'felt' like a new album. I think it's much more enjoyable to listen to music in general as a complete album than individual songs. And it all came together very quickly and I'm really happy with the result. If you check out my channel I have two other albums constructed in this way - one live album of just Al and a guitar, and one consisting of unreleased works from the late 80's early 90's. Whilst I would love Al to have seen my channel I have no contact with him so have no way of knowing whether he's seen it or not. I like to think he has; since a link to the channel has appeared on his website recently, and I've had plenty of communication with Peter White on Facebook over the last few months as I've uploaded videos to this channel.
Al Stewart is with me since 1985, I am 57 now. Saw him 1990 on his Last day of the century tour, what a great concert. These songs are unknown to me, thanks so much...
Terrific compilation - Al's non album outtakes are collectively the best I've ever heard from any artiste. This would be an excellent LP by itself were some of the song given a little more attention. Wonderful guitar by Lawrence in Clifton in the Rain.
Love anything Al has recorded! So authentic in such a genetic world! I am so thankful I grew up listening and enjoying works of art from great artists like Al Stewart!!
Your channel is excellent !!! Found it when I was looking for any new Al stuff. Al Stewart is probably my consistent #1 singer and guitarist since 1976 - 47 years. Your alt-universe albums are great, never heard Japanese Garden before, so thanks so much.
Enjoyable, eclectic mix. I am always amazed at how all these out takes and unreleased versions surface, as Al is so famously disinterested in such things. I am sure he has had no part in them being made available.
According to Al.. in some interviews - his next door neighbor in a flat in London was Paul Simon before he was really famous.. he could hear Paul through the walls constructing chord sequences and writing songs before Al's very ears ? how lucky could you get.. Then when Alan Parson's is involved with engineering some of your things ? damn ! good stuff. Don't get me wrong as that luck couldn't happen to a nicer and more deserving guy !
The Al Stewart Archives La vida después de la muerte . Hice este "álbum" utilizando algunas pistas más raras de Al, con algunos ligeros retoques y puestas juntas en un orden que pensé que fluía muy bien. Espero que os guste. Creo que es mejor escucharlo como un álbum entero que "por canción", y antes de mirar la lista de canciones; pero he incluido la lista de canciones más abajo junto con algunas notas. Gracias por la música, Al.
@@PontusWittenmark Hi Pontus - thanks for listening! If you compare the version of 'Curtain' on my album to the original demo you'll notice I've made the song 10% faster. I think this worked really well although part of me thinks the guitar solo in it sounds almost a bit too fast, but overall I think it's an improvement on the original. I think my favorite track on the album is "Dreaming". Oh and I've checked out your channel, I'm a fellow programmer too :) Thanks again for your comments.
Very deep cuts. I loved this. Some I knew, like Clifton, but not this version. Others were brand new to me. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this. Any chance of another?
Thanks for taking the time to listen to it Kelly. The version of Clifton that you hear is Al playing with Lawrence Juber about 3 years ago. I slowed that particular track down by 5% from the original recording; a subtle change but I think it suits the feel of the song more and allows Lawrence's amazing guitar playing to be heard a bit better; a bit more 'breathing space'. Clifton is one of my favorite tracks, and as you know Al was very young when he first recorded it - I like the contrast with him now singing it as an older man over 40 years later - kind of the same way that Joni Mitchell did with 'Both Sides Now'. I'd love to do another one of these but I don't think I have enough material to work with - this all came together very quickly and just felt 'right'. I'll have a listen to what's left and see if any of it sounds like it would group together as well as this material has. Thanks again for your comment. - David
There is so much more of Al's work out there now. It's worth us checking each month for more old tracks that appear czcams.com/video/RG2zxzQt9wg/video.html
Finally got the chance to listen to this, and it's wonderful! I love the selection of songs and the changes you made fit very nicely. Time for me to go listen to your other compilations/albums :)
Thank you! Yes this was the project that started the whole channel - it all came together very quickly and naturally when I listened to all of Al's unreleased material - as if there was a new album hiding in among it all along!
"20:20 Ghostly Horse Of The Plain - slowed down by 5% from the original recording, removed the final chord played from the original recording as I felt it sounded out of place" LOL, reminds me of that part in the movie Amadeus where Soliere tells the King that there's too many notes. Great album, thanks for posting it. I just got a wild hair to see what was on Al Stewart's albums that weren't Year of the Cat and Time Passages. I've been very pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for listening and for also taking the time to read the comments haha! Al has many wonderful albums beyond YOTC and TP - so you are in for a treat! I have two other albums similar to this one that I created also from unlreleased Al material so you I hope you enjoy them too!
I listened here hoping to find a good quality recording of the holy grail - an Al Stewart song I've been looking for for years - the bootleg version of Palace of Versailles. I have a very poor recording of it, transferred from tape to mini disc and now to MP3. Simply beautiful, and some wonderful 'alternative' lyrics. If anyone knows where I can find a good version please comment here!! On the bootleg version, the opening line is: "And when this revolution has run its course and passed; there'll be no disillusion, in the Paris streets at last"
Track 1 is Elton John's early stuff. Track 2/3 is John Lennon Track 4 The Zombies. Track 5 The Rolling Stones Track 6 acoustic Zeppelin. Track 7 Bob Dylan/Donovan. Track 8 more like Al Stewart. Overall a very unusual collection. Though I must admit I didn't like it. Al Stewart albums, whilst reflective, are usually a lot happier. So I understand why they weren't included officially. His voice sounded shot on some. Nevertheless you worked very hard on this. So thx
Nice collection but Clifton feels and sounds too slow and draggy with the speed change.. The song needs pep, which the speed change removed imo. Thank you for putting this together..

one of the most beautiful and magnificent voice Al is a timeless and lovely singer ❤️ .
I can't beleive I've never heard this version of Ghostly Horses of The Plain. I loved it among all the other tracks. Thank you.

Thank you so much for listening. It flows very well as an album doesn't it! Almost like it was meant to be!
So true. Of the 200 or so Al songs that I have heard, there are fewer than 5 that I don't like. This is wonderful stuff! Thank you. ❤
Beautiful album

Yep he's lived an amazing life - have you read the biography of him by Neville Judd?
@@TheAlStewartArchives I have not yet. Sounds like a good read
always loved like dirge, first heard Pentangle recording.
I didn't know that AL had so many good LPS what great musicians that back him up I really dig his style Pete knows
Great, even as a lifelong fan, there were 3 I didn't know. thankyou
Very glad you enjoyed it Matthew thanks for listening!
Very enjoyable, indeed - many thanks for sharing it.

Can't believe he didn't do anything with Life after death...
Even though Curtain was the real star of the show för me - so beautiful..

Would you be so kind as to list the song titles in order? Thanks in advance! :)
I've heard "Curtain" before
And "Dreaming" as well. Ghostly Horses on the Plains, and Clifton In the Rain were on one of his earlier albums.
Hi Bobby - I've put the song titles with timestamps in the video description now.
Al and LJ⁉️
Hi George - yes the recording of Clifton is Al and Laurence Juber.
Leave it to Al to rhyme Gewürztraminer.
Beautiful album
Thank you for listening, glad you enjoyed it!
