I'm not the world's biggest Beach Boys fan, but I just heard the McGuinn/BB version of 'California Dreaming' - it's great! My only criticism is that the 12-string solo is just taking off when it is interrupted by one of those damned saxophone things. Couldn't they find anyone to play alto flute?

First, some germain quotes: >From: Russ Reynolds > >I'd like to know what the hell A&M was thinking leaving off "The Ruling >Class" and including as CD bonus tracks alternate mixes of "Veins" and >"Freeze"...and NOT the complete version of "Wasps"! and >From: Terrence M Marks > >Simply put, A&M goofed on Robyn. And now, straight from the A&M horse's mouth himself -- Scott Carter. Or the other end of the horse, perhaps. This is from email I've received from him (and no, I will not, repeat will not promulgate his address, as I cannot let him know that I pass this info on to this list -- I've chatted with the guy off and on for several years now, and I'm not about to ruin it. Please respect this. Besides, if Scott found out, I couldn't milk him for any more tasty Robyn rarities for the list, either. Remember the A&M covers tape? Carter's the one I got it from.) I don't doubt this will get the ire of many of you, but it does show what kind of attitude he and A&M have about Robyn (which I tend to think is flaky, also). >...glad you liked the Greatest Hits [I lied]. I compiled it myself, and >was really >glad that Robyn was happy with what I came up with -- I really tried to >include all the >best album tracks, and the most substantial b-sides. I could fill another >full disc of >b-sides that didn't make it, but oh well. >...the Spectre interview disc that he did for the Respect album (with a dub >version of "When I Was Dead" and a vocal outtake from "Driving Aloud," >which was almost >going to be the album version until Jeff Suhy and I suggested they change >it)... Jeff Suhy is another A&R guy at A&M, and I we both did college radio together when we were undergrads. One helluva nice guy, very together.

It's conspicuously absent from all my other concert tapes... Thanks to everyone who answered my original question. - -- Daniel Saunders Reality is that which when you stop believing in it, it doesn't go away. - Philip K. Dick ======== Fwd by: Russ Reynolds ======== I'm pretty sure I heard him play it at the Great American Music Hall one of the last couple of times he was there (probably two years back, with Morris Tepper). Can anyone check tapes? That's one of those songs you really need harmonies for, but I think he performed it solo. On the other hand I might be out of my gourd. - -rr ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 11:41:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Terrence M Marks Subject: Re: the agony of injection - oh.

I remember Robyn opening a SB's set in January 1980 with .... "This song is dedicated to Radar Records who we appear to have outlasted". So I assume Radar Records must have folded in late '79.

What is this Invisible History I hear of? How do I get one? I taped the two Van Morrison songs (with a great version of "one long pair of eyes" with Andy on piano, the b-sides on the "Oceanside" 12" promo, from my college radio station. Looking back over the years, I should have just taken it; I think I was the only one there who ever looked at the damn thing. "Linden Arden" and "One Long" are both A-quality tracks in my book. Anyway, how is Invisible History available?

I'll contradict this, because there is no applause on the demo version (or the video version) and the demo/video vocal is different than the Letterman version. /hal ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 18:40:08 +0100 (BST) From: M R Godwin Subject: Re: Seeding, History > woj ponders: > > very interesting that he "seeded" this tape around the fans like this. did > > this happen with any other demos? if not, why were these demos circulated > > like this?

This sounds similar to his motive for doing Mossy Liquor. I have got the Invisible History CD, which is clearly not an official release, but possibly had some co-operation from the RH camp. Does anyone know who was responsible for releasing it? Did they ever get any aggro from the record companies? - - Mike Godwin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 15:38:28 -0500 From: nicastr@IDT.NET (Ben) Subject: 1974/Rebel Rebel I don't know if this has been brought up before, but has anyone noticed that the part where he sings "Rebel Rebel was your favorite song" and some other parts ("whirly, whirly", etc.) uses the melody from the chorus of Bowie's "Rebel Rebel". I wonder if this was intentional, either way it is pretty cool! - -Ben ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 15:32:02 -0500 From: nicastr@IDT.NET (Ben) Subject: Re: Invisible History >Must be far out of it.
