At first they only seemed to be adding vocals but then I noticed added "drums" and then even guitar. The timing of the vocals often seemed a bit off and for the last 2 songs I don't think they were even trying, haha.<br /><br />A shame the original source tape has never surfaced.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721640061936311727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-90010976675283715132010-06-23T11:13:45.594-04:002010-06-23T11:13:45.594-04:00It was just as I expected...HORRIBLE (laughably so...It was just as I expected...HORRIBLE (laughably so...I wonder, speaking of rip offs, Charles Reinhart's book "You Can't Do That" lists a couple of novelty discs that I would love to hate to hear; first is Fisher and Marks' "It's a Beatle World" and "The Beagle and the Four Liverpool Whigs" which I would almost assume is the backing band for this Ed Rudy catasropiece.

I'm sort of glad I did not spend years hunting this one down and then spending 200 bucks on it. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm sincerely thankful for your sharing of this rare material.

Pepper. <br /><br />It's hard to decide what is the most brilliant stroke of all - the fact that all the songs are in the wrong order, the distortion of the interviews, the fact that the words are at best approximate ... Interviewing someone pretending to be Brian Epstein takes some beating, but the masterstroke has to be the way the guitarist can't work out the more difficult chord progressions, such as the middle 8 of You Can't Do That, or the whole of If I Fell. Complete genius!!<br /><br />Nowadays, this would be seen as a post-ironic, deconstructivist statement and would be hailed as a classic. Except, of course, that nowadays it wouldn't get released. It's amazing that Ed Rudy wasn't sued off the planet. Perhaps that's why his earlier albums haven't been re-released like just about every other Beatles interview album. (Would be good to hear those some time - and the Carroll James ones too, for that matter!!)<br /><br />I notice that in your book, you single out Can't Buy Me Love as the most objectionable of all. Surely you mean Long Tall Sally??<br /><br />TimTimJ UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272892208774974566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267822777045485874.post-5008959170737328582010-03-23T11:02:45.440-04:002010-03-23T11:02:45.440-04:00Everyone seems to lose their words...Everyone seems to lose their words...Yosinoreply@blogger.com
