I was wrong. Two's Missing wasn't a demos album. It was just previously unreleased stuff, such as this cover over "Heatwave," which I went nuts for in 1987. Pretty sure I paid full price for this record the day it became available at the mall in Bowling Green.
ReplyDeleteThe demos album I was thinking of was Pete Townshend's Another Scoop, which came out later in 1987. And I'm pretty sure I paid full price for this record the day it became available at the mall in Paducah. Here's his demo of "Substitute" from that album.
ReplyDeleteNow it turns out in 2001, Townshend released Scoop 3, of which I was unaware. Check out his one-man-band version of "The Real Me." The YouTube poster of that video, ThePoliteForce, included his liner notes on the track: "The Who's version of the song was terrific, like everything we did on Quadrophenia, but this demo has its own style. I played everything on this."
ReplyDeletePete Townshend is totally right about "The Real Me" and everything else on Quadrophenia, of course. Oh, my word, listen to that exquisite, beefy thing. It's the thickest, most marbly, dripping, rare steak you've ever eaten.
I like how you bust my chops for being cool for mentioning the Velvet Underground and then you refer to them as "The Velvet."
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you would catch that.
DeleteConfirmed: Nico and Jackson Browne. This is a really good short feature linked here.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Jackson Browne was having a very different life at age 17 than you or I had at the same age.
ReplyDelete"These Days" really is such a pretty song.
ReplyDeleteMan, hooray for the 1990s.
ReplyDeleteYeah no Luscious Jackson at freemidi.org
