The music clip thread

Not music, but a pretty good find.


The owner of an independent record store in Vancouver is boasting the ultimate rock history rare find.

Rob Frith, owner of Neptoon Records on Main Street, says squirreled away in his archives was an original demo tape recorded by The Beatles in 1962.

Frith says around 10 years ago he bought a reel-to-reel tape of what he thought was merely some Beatles bootleg recordings and let it be.

He says he recently began work on an archival project, when he saw it standing there again, and finally gave it a listen.

“So I grabbed it, thinking, ‘You know what? I’m going to just check to see what’s on this thing, and then just get rid of it after, because it’s always in the way,'” Frith described.

He says he played it back with a little help from a friend who had the right equipment. What he found was an apparent recording of the then-unsigned loveable lads auditioning for Decca Records in 1962.

Would be interesting to know who he bought it off. If it’s genuine he will be sitting on a gold mine. Interesting.

Streisand in the same sentence as Janis Joplin... interesting!
meanwhile here's Janis, love this version of summertime, trying to learn a piano version but I don't play piano (well i started teaching myself about a year ago) 🙂


If you teach yourself Fur Elise, I will come to your house and burn your piano.

G-damn I hate how every nob plays that. (and chopsticks)


Yes - that is an appropriate reaction. lol

Great singer. Both different but yet original and no one like them back in their day. Trend setters as was Orbison, Dylan. When you hear them you know it’s them. They sound mature.
 
An example of the genius of Neil Peart not only as a drummer but as a lyricist. There are so many others he has penned on this level that I don’t know where to begin.
