9 February 2010: it's 1969

[Gazoo]

OMGWTF!!!  uber-BOS3 BS&T covering Traffic's "Smiling Phases". This really shoulda been a single.

NTM; thanks for the ID of the Traffic origins.  Interesting arrangement!

BOS2 Steppenwolf, "Rock Me", from another awful movie, Candy.

No love for this one from me. It's the one Steppenwolf song that I never got much out of--just seemed like it was covering old ground. WOS.

This BS&T tune on the other hand is another that's new to me, but I am digging its jazzy breaks. Safe to say this never made the Top 40.

OMGWTF!!!  uber-BOS3 BS&T covering Traffic's "Smiling Phases". This really shoulda been a single.  And this is another monster LP that Dave tended to ignore, relative to its success.

Which LP are you referring to?

BS&T -- why, does the shraytabase indicate otherwise?

BOS4 Tull.

fake jazz two-fer?

BOS1 Don Knotts, although I'm damned if I know what the film the clip was pulled from.

BTW, Jim, I like the early shots (and name!) of El Palacio de Queso.

Thanks! I'm hoping we can keep an ongoing photographic diary of the progress of the building. We've been jokingly referring to it as "the cheese palace" for some time but I cribbed the Spanish version from a message I got via FB.

If of you who are FBfriends want to have a look, the album is here:

And if you're not yet one of my pals, shoot me a message and I'll friend ya.

No, I just wanted to know what album it was on.

BOS5 and proxy of geoff, of course

[Tinka Cat]

another BOS for King Crimson, but I wish production on this was a little less muddy.

"The tournament's begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing..."

BOS3 KC.

The song got its share of prog-FM play, but a NYC Top40 station, WMCA, started playing it as if it were a single just as "Spinning Wheel" was dropping down the chart, in an attempt to influence Columbia, I think. But the label went with "And When I Die" instead.

[Tinka Cat]

the looooooong version!

DUUUUUDE! the looooooooooooooooooooong version!!!  Bless you AnnaLisa (Dave often went with the edit).

Yeah, but I suspect that at the time this was recorded ('68 or '69), they had at best 8 tracks to work with in the studio, so there was a lot of bouncing of tracks going on. That is, recording several parts on individual tracks, mixing them down to one track, then recording several more tracks, and repeating the process. This enabled them to get a lot of information onto the tape, but things could get muddy in the process.

BOS nonetheless, and big ups for the l-o-o-o-o-o-o-ng version. As AL said last week, "whaddaya think this is? AM radio?"

[RGMike]

BOS6 George & the Fabs, little darlin'.

here comes the sun on a Chelsea morning!  BOS7 Joni.
