Is there any >truth in this ? Bryan based his version on Harrison's original, while Canned Heat used the reworked version (Let's Work Together). Here's a brief note about Harrison to supplement Daniel's reply. The info is from: - ---- begin Wilbert Harrison b. 5 January 1929, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. Although Harrison first recorded as early as 1953, it was not until the end of the decade that the singer established his reputation with a superb jump-blues styled adaptation of the perennial 'Kansas City'. This memorable single eventually rose to number 1 in the US pop and R&B charts, despite the attention of several competing versions. The singer then unleashed a series of similarly excellent releases including the compulsive Let's Stick Together which was revived many years later by Bryan Ferry. Harrison continued to record, rather unsuccessfully, throughout the '60s, until Let's Work Together, a regenerated reading of that former release, returned him to the public eye. Wilbert subsequently appeared in London with Creedence Clearwater Revival, but the song was ultimately better-known for Canned Heat's hit version, a number 2 in the UK and a number 17 in the US. Its originator, meanwhile, made several excellent albums in the wake of his new-found popularity, but was unable to gain a consistent commercial appeal. - ---- end Bob Dylan has also covered the song, also in its original version - Let's Stick Together. I haven't heard it. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2002 14:25:18 +0100 From: "Han Snijders" Subject: Re: [AVALON] let's stick together. And Bob Dylan did Let's stick together too. Harrison released the song first as let's stick together '62 , it didn't become a hit. After seven years he wanted to release LST again but because he had moved to a new record label he feared his old label would want the royalties so he changed the lyrics into let's work together '69. Most of the covers are based on the later version.

Daniel, I'd be very interested in hearing what you do and don't like about the album when you have a chance (and so would many others, I'm sure)! Colleen p.s.

Colleen, yes I have to put it into words since I hope the man himself will call me and talk aboout the album. But after working 21 days straight -- and the postscript files are being distilled as I write this, I think I'll take the night of and watch TV. No much to do with the wife away.

Oh well, do you want to be awaken in the middle of the night? I am on GMT +1. I guess I'll have to sell copies to you stateside Avalonians. Or maybe I should trade them for stuff I'd like, Jackson Browne, Bruce Cockburn, Bill Morrissey, Troutfishing in America etc. Seriously, anyone intrested in trading a Swedish pressing of Frantic? I can get them by the dossin. Suggest a trade off list.

I'm so sorry for the parochial nature of that remark, but in a way it's appropriate (as you'll discover if you read further). I have now received my CD copy - all the way from Australia, thanks Doug! - of "A Wilder Weekend". It's the re-broadcast version of "Wild Weekend" featuring Roxy's classic performance from New York, 8th March 1976. I got my copy as part of the FREE weed experiment and my part of the deal is to offer SIX copies of this CD to the FIRST SIX people to e-mail me requesting a copy. Now the very first SIX weed copies have spread themselves worldwide and so I am really looking to produce these for people in the continent of Europe really. Oh, and the UK (which is a bit schizophrenic when deciding). I'm not being xenophobic, but there should be other weed offers for other territories being announced any time now. There's NO MONEY involved in this deal, it's a philanthropic gesture. Big deal, you say. But when you ask for a copy, you must confirm that you too will produce SIX copies for people requesting one from you when YOU post this same offer to Avalon (or wherever, I suppose). IF, I say IF, I do not get SIX people making this offer, I will consider those who can't burn CDs as the weed experiment intends to benefit those souls too, once the burning republic is equipped to supply the rest of the universe. Gosh, I hope I've understood the principles correctly... Now of course the changes in the Reply To function on Avalon mean already that no-one will be dumb enough (well, maybe some fellow digest recipients) to try and reply to this offer ON-list. That would be plain silly. PLEASE send your request to me at chandla911@aol.com with Wilder Weekend in the subject heading and, in that way, I will be able to sort out the first SIX people to respond. They will get an acknowledgement from me. So, if you ask for a copy and do NOT hear back from me, you will know you were too slow (or, like me, are a digest recipient and heard too late). Yep, I think that really is everything except to say I need your postal details (name and address) naturally and I will mail out your FREE CD copy of Wilder Weekend within one week of this offer. OK?

So, if you are interested in having this 2-CD set of Milan, please e-mail me with "Milan" as the subject header and I'll get back to you individually with the various options.

Aside from appearing many 50's scifi soundtracks, the ondes is best known for being used extensively by French composer Olivier Messiaen. If you ever really want to hear the Ondes cutting loose, get a recording of Messiaen's Turangalia Symphony. More freaky than anything Eno ever dreamed of....
