I have to correct myself.  It's Ronnie Spector who is on Letterman tonight and not Darlene Love.  Sorry

Two Questions:

1) Can we sticky this thread so we don't have to search allover to ask an insignificant question?

2) I was listening to what I am thinking is a different mix of Bells of Christmas (no vocals on the opening part); as the ending vocals fade out (aaaaaahhhh), I hear someone simply direct and say: "ah" as in directing the guys towards the next vocal, who is it?

I was thinking maybe Al.

Anyone else hear this?

Considering people love to complain about sticky threads knocking new threads off the main page after a day or two, it won't be me doing it, that's for sure.

If "Winter Symphony" wasn't meant to turn up on the 1977 Christmas album, what do we know about the original sessions? Some website I've never heard of until now mentioned that "an instrumental track from the same year [1974] became 'Winter Symphony'", and the sessions which ostensibly turned whatever it was before into a Christmas some occurred on November 15, 21 and 22, 1977. Anyone know a more perspicuous lineage for that backing track?

I have the best ideas when I'm sloshed. In fact, several times in my student days I solved the riddle of the Universe in this condition. Thing is: when I woke up, I hadn't got a clue anymore.

Totally OT, but I can't pass up the opening.  There's a story that, back in the early 20th century, there was a man who, every time he indulged in laughing gas, did indeed grasp the secret of the cosmos, but every time he sobered up, forgot it. Finally, one day, as he was slipping under, he managed to scribble down his revelation and on reawakening, hastily looked at what he'd written. Which was:

"A smell of petroleum prevails throughout."

i know exactly what you mean. i smoked a little bit last night (haven't for a long time), so I try listening to some good music to enjoy....somehow Al Jardine's Christmas Time is Here Again. I almost hit forward on my pod, then I think, I'm gonna figure this song out. Then I got thinking about if all the Christmas stuff was recorded before the actual MIU stuff was and why MIU sounds better than the Christmas stuff and yada yada....so I wasted my high on thinking about MIU. LMAO

You could have saved yourself the anguish by just checking out the session dates on 10452, which shows that the Xmas tracks and the MIU were recorded in tandem.  Grin

I finally remembered two of the things I wanted to ask!

1) are some of Al's vocals on In Concert sped up? You Still Believe In Me sounds like it especially, the organs 'wibble' like the tape's being manipulated and it's in C, as opposed to it's original key of B, which they didn't change when playing it live previously?

2) Were any other tapes for famous songs lost in the massive clearout that robbed us of the GV vocal tapes? I've only heard that story in relation to that song....

Whole bunch of Byrds multitracks as well, apparently. Basically, if the tapes were stored at Columbia, they were gonners.

According to Bruce, the tapes were stored in what used to be the balcony of the theatre the studio was before it was, er, a studio, and in spring 1967, they just threw a whole load of them in the dumpster.

Uh, yeah, that's going to make it a bit tougher. Anyone know what landfill they were using at the time?  It wasn't Scranton, was it?
