Title: Studio versions of songs within "Cassius Love vs Sonny Wilson" Post by: CenturyDeprived on July 01, 2015, 12:59:35 PM Do full, fuller, or alternate take versions of the studio song tidbits played in CLVSW exist? Some of them are super cool.
It would seem that the band was easily able to just pull off live versions of those songs (recorded in the studio) for this track, which makes me also think that those songs were all in the band's live setlist at the time. Was Farmer's Daughter played live at this time? It would seem surprising if the band just played the song (very competently, as they indeed did) off the cuff in the studio, if it wasn't already a song they could pull out of their sleeves at any given moment - which again, leads me to think it was a song in their regular or semi-regular arsenal of live songs at the time... Thoughts? Title: Re: Studio versions of songs within \ Post by: SBonilla on July 01, 2015, 01:19:11 PM Do full, fuller, or alternate take versions of the studio song tidbits played in CLVSW exist?

Thoughts? Just went back to that track. What I hear are portions of the instrumental tracks of the released versions (maybe there is an alternate or two in there, idk) . I also hear what could be a piano chord overdub with a very quick fade mixed in at the very tail of a couple of those snippets. That is my quick and sloppy assessment.

No way, those are newly – recorded versions that were done for that track. Just listen closely to the tempo, at all of them are somewhat faster compared to the studio versions. And the vocals aren't quite as on point. But I agree, they are pretty close.

And I always did find it odd that instead of F# the final chord of the "In My Room" intro ended up being the A chord to lead into "Surfer Girl"...
