Title: Any more Sunflower a capella?
Post by: variable2 on June 21, 2009, 10:03:33 AM
So we have Add Some Music and Forever a capella on the Hawthorne, CA record.. but is there any possibility of any more of that album being released vocals only.. either by official or phantom means..?  >:D

Tears in the Morning a capella would be pretty awesome.

If one was inclined to hunt through the Desper thread (there's 51 pages!), he mentions something about them marking the tape with sellotape so they could identify overdubs, or something of that ilk. While in theory a helpful idea, after 40 years the chemicals on the sellotape affect the actual recordings...  :'( however, they also said that when it was mostly nothing they couldn't handle  :-D This may explain why we haven't had much more Sunflower stuff.

I know they're not Sunflower tracks, but since they were recorded around the period, there are a cappella mixes of Break Away (also a backing vocals only mix) and Cotton Fields out there. Just for all you Desperheads out there. They're fun to hear, Break Away in particular.
