Do you have both the censored and uncensored versions? Because IMHO the bleeped version is funnier.

You wanna hear the censored version? Duly noted!

Since the Superb Owl was a stinker, here's my 4th visit to 1974:

 1. Professor Longhair - Rum And Coke
 2. Stevie Wonder - Birds Of Beauty
(Paul and Linda rehearse "Sally G" on piano)
 3. Paul McCartney and Wings - Sally G
 4. Steely Dan - With A Gun
 5. George Harrison - Dark Horse
(Commercial: Memorex featuring Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle)
 6. Chicago - Italian From New York
(TV: Midnight Special featuring Al Green)
 7. Al Green - The City
 8. Earth Quake - Friday On My Mind
 9. Jimmy Buffett - Brand New Country Star
(Commercial: The Rolling Stones It's Only Rock 'N Roll)
10. The Rolling Stones - Fingerprint File

Let me know what you think!

As usual, a very fun set. Particularly enjoyed the twangy twofer of Sally G and With A Gun. Fingerprint File is one I don't hear often enough -- has it ever made an appearance in an offical 10@10? Not in the Shraytabase period, but I don't recall if AL ever got around to it or not. The Earth Quake take on Friday On My Mind was a real sledgehammer, and 'Fess was the best TOTHK I've heard in a good while. The only negative was the Chicago tune, imo -- the synth squeaks and squawks are a jarring intro, and the rest of the tune just left me flat -- not one of their better ones. Now Mongonucleosis (which I recall you have included before) from the same album (VII)  is another matter.

 6. Chicago - Italian From New York

I'll have to agree with you.  I originally wanted to use "Mongonucleosis", but I didn't want to repeat using a tune I had used not too long ago (the reason why it didn't make the "strictly instrumental" set, fyi), so I settled on one of the shorter "jazz instrumentals" on VII.

I was all over the map on how to construct this set.  The set was a distillation of four different concepts.  Hopefully it sounds good.  Let me know what you think!

Ha, I misread this and was scouring the web for a censored version of Blossom Dearie's song.  (sad trombone)

Inspired by Renee's recent selections of oddball covers, this set was put together through some old requests that,
for the most part, haven't been fulfilled.  And don't let the 1997 date frighten you; have a listen -- this set
clocks in at just under forty minutes.  Let me know what you think!

well, these first 2 were NTM and I dig 'em both -- Hi-Fives are local boys. Live'n'learn!

I want to say AL played "Precious Little" as part of a 97 set (which was when I charted it).

AL played it once, much to the delight of radical347.
