Title: Do a Lot vs. Sleep a Lot (light spoilers)
Post by: Aegir on October 25, 2011, 11:42:40 AM
So on the box set we have Track #34 - "Heroes and Villains: Do a Lot", and then Track #88 - "Vegetables: Sleep a Lot". Now, these are more or less the same snippet of music, it seems, just different recordings. and I suppose that "Do a Lot" was recorded during a Heroes and Villains session and "Sleep a Lot" was recorded during a Vegetables session.

But, why break them up like that, give them different names? Especially because "Do a Lot" seems to be the one that made it to the Disc 1 Vegetables mix.

I'm thinking of just calling them both "Mama Says" in my iTunes, that's the only official title for that section as a separate track, or at least it was before the box set.

Don't be silly. One take does a lot, while the other take sleeps a lot! Happy happy mission pak, now!

It's just how they were named on the tape boxes, I don't think that Brian (or whoever wrote them) gave it much thought.
On the Vega-tables mix they used "Sleep a lot" choruses 1 & 2 from the Vega sessions, not the one from Heroes.

I now know the difference between "Sleep a Lot" and "Do a Lot" :|

Also, anyone wondering why they chose "Do a Lot" for the disc 1 edit of "Vegetables" instead of "Sleep a Lot" as done on BWPS?
