More Than It's Cracked Up to Be!

This is a 2007 mash-up album of Sgt Pepper and many more disparate musical delights,  originally found here. However, it seems all the links from the original site are dead.

01. Cracked Pepper (4:20)
02. With a Little Glam (3:10)
03. Lucy at the River (4:00)
04. The Word Is Good (3:24)
05. Kelly Watch the Hole (3:25)
06. She's Slipping (4:36)
07. Love Kite (2:40)
08. It's Far Too Late (4:02)
09. Hawaii 64 (2:33)
10. Struttin' Rita (3:54)
11. Good Pressure (3:19)
12. Cracked Pepper (Reprise) (2:39)
13. A Sky Blue Rhapsody (6:04)

Also included is “These are the elements,” a text document explaining the source of the mashed-in stuff.  As always, I evened out the volume and added metadata.

This is a lot of fun, even though I couldn't quite recognize all of the recordings mashed herein.  All I can say about this is, WOW!

Cracked Pepper

See you on Thursday!

  

The Acetate or the Acid Test?

The story goes that engineer/producer Glyn Johns was recruited by someone at Apple to find a releasable album in the "Get Back" sessions.  He came up with a version which was sent as an acetate for approval.  Here's one version of the story.

01. Get Back (2:50)
02. The Walk (0:59)
03. Let It Be (4:05)
04. Teddy Boy (5:54)
05. Two of Us (3:57)
06. Don't Let Me Down (3:54)
07. I've Got a Feeling (3:01)
08. The Long and Winding Road (3:47)
09. For You Blue (3:06)

10. Dig A Pony (4:04) 

11. Get Back Reprise (2:57

It's not as polished as the Spector version, and much rougher, of course, than the McCartney version called Let It Be Naked.  But interesting nonetheless.

Get Back

We won't even get into the whole "get back to where you once belong" phrase as referring to Pakastani immigrants.

See you on Monday!

  

Everybody's Gotta Mutate!

The title for this post is stolen from a song in my comp MA-120 - Vacuum-Tube Predictionz.

This is just a lot of fun (to quote Bob Wills), by Andrew MacKenzie.  His blog post about Mutation.

1. Twisted Shout 4:11
2. Norwogian Weed 2:08
3. Assault On Pepper 8:51
4. Love From Abbey Road 7:40
5. Fabtasia 6:50

I think you'll like it too!

MUTATION 

See you on Thursday!

PS Thanks to all of you fine friends and fiends for pushing this blog past the 350K mark.  For the record, as of this date we've got material for about 250 more posts.  Onward into the musical future!

A Musical Abomination

This April Fool's Day, the joke's on YOU!

Calling this "a parody" doesn't excuse its existence.

01 - She Loves You - Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, Taz
02 - The Fool on the Hill - Elmer Fudd
03 - Birthday - Daffy, Taz
04 - Hello Goodbye - Bugs, Daffy
05 - With a Little Help from My Friends - Elmer, Bugs
06 - It Won't Be Long - Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, Taz
07 - Yesterday - Daffy Duck
08 - Penny Lane - Bugs, Taz
09 - Help! - Yosemite Sam
10 - Can't Buy Me Love - Bugs, Daffy
11 - The Long and Winding Road - Road Runner

 It's so embarrassing to realize that the performers were old enough to refuse to do such a stupid, moronic concept, but did it for money anyway.

Stink the Beatles

It's a blessing that Mel Blanc and Arthur Q Bryan were long gone before this bit of filthy lucre-sucking appeared.

See you on Monday with perhaps some more interesting Beatle-esque nonsens.
