Tranquility —"Couldn't Possibly Be" 1972

If you ever had a chance to experience the recordings and/or (even more rare) live performance of the band "Tranquility" from 1971 - 1974, you would never forget them —Tight, angelic three and four part harmonies, doubled in parts, were their staple, fueled with engaging and memorable melodies —Now, the aforementioned, really, for me, corresponds, specifically, with the pinnacle of their creative prowess, which all came together on their second album, "Silver" —After Tranquility opened the show for The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Captain Beefheart @Winterland in San Francisco, March 23rd & 24th, 1973, I, along with my musical compatriots were sure they were going to cut a huge swath at the top of the rock and roll food chain, as they laid that audience to waste, sounding just like they do on these tracks of "Silver" ...They, seemingly had it all —I dug that album so much, I bought three copies! —Then, inexplicably, Tranquility disappeared, gone as quickly as they had arrived —Ever since those days, I had wondered —Oh, I had heard that leader and songwriter, Terry Shaddick had co-written Olivia Newton John's 1981 hit, "Physical" with Steve Kipner but, that's all anyone seemed to know —Even in the age of cyberspace, there just didn't seem to be a whole lot of info. Fast forward to 2009 —I ran into a blog (no longer in existence) where folks were sharing their tales of Tranquility experiences and bemoaning the fact that "Silver" was not available in a digital format —Terry Shaddick's ex-wife, Virginia happened to chime in to share some interesting info; some, of which, seem to indicate that Terry was in L.A. and, still writing —She, also, wrote that she used to have "Silver" in digital on a hard drive but, she thought it had gone by the wayside —Well, a couple of weeks later, Virginia throws-down with a link for downloading mp3 versions of all the cuts from "Silver" —Okay, it's true —It is compressed audio —But, hey —My vinyl's probably not quite the way I remember —So, I was stoked to snag a copy —And, there ya have it —That's how I lucked upon this treasure. Since I wrote the above, back in 2009, Silver has resurfaced in availability. A couple other youtube locations have it now and you can snag a Japanese import CD on Amazon ...Supposedly remastered, though, I bought one of those and it sounds like they burned CDs from mp3 files, as the resolution is nothing close to the vinyl. At least it's out and about so, that's a good thing —Enjoy!
