I think I recall the title Metropolis…but I wonder if that eventually came out as half moon bay.
Different titles in the BMI database.
At the time, Rolling Stone reported that Brian was recording three separate albums. One with Beck, largely instrumental, one with female guest singers, and one with Al and Blondie. We ended up getting an album was was a mixture of the latter two, but nothing of the first.
I might be wrong but I seem to recall hearing that Half Moon Bay was intended for the Beck album?
