#47 We're Late For Class Presents: The Act You've Known For All These Years (A Mash)

Destined to be our first deleted release. This is a psychedelic mash-up using only tracks from The Beatles' experimental solo releases. Every sound you'll hear is The Beatles (or, more accurately, from their solo albums). No sounds have been added by us. Since they never made an experimental album together, a future press release should wildly claim, "The Beatles - As You've Never Heard Them Before!" If only they'd all just gotten along. That's the premise, anyway. Originally made for our amusement, we figured, hey... why not share it? Link back to us and we'll whisper your name in bonged reverence & dedicate a bowl to your existence. When our species comes to rule this planet, your name will be on the protected rolls and you will come to no harm.

    Can't let this be easily eradicated. That would be just wrong. It's up over at NSS.

    Here's my (stuffy) review:
    The Beatles:The Act You've Known For All These Years (WLFC Records #047, 2010)—These Liverpudlians were some of the premier singer-songwriters of their time, but haven’t released an album for many years. This long-delayed set of songs (they scrapped the album twice before completing it) returns them to their finely wrought, melancholy character studies. (Yawn!)

    I love how you took all of this from such obscure places (and for that reason alone, EMI might not care).

    "Second only to Harrison's "Gone Troppo" in overall feel, "The Act You've Known For All These Years" is sure to go down in music history in the category of 'required listening.'

    Loved this - as someone born & living across the Mersey from Liverpool the Beatles are something of a religion to some folk around here,but general opinion has been positive from most who've heard this.Intend to get it played on local pirate station'Radio Xanadu'which broadcasts on Sundays (107 fm & on the web)to give more coverage.Keep on with the good work.

  29. We're Late For Class11:06 PM

    Well... after ruling out acid and flashbacks, we're not sure. Where exactly do you mean? The last section in "Greasy Leaf Changes" is from George Harrison's Wonderwall Music. Thanks for listening that far in.

  51. viNomadic12:12 AM

    I've listened to this a couple couple times...Greasy Leaf Changes gets me everytime-- who's the guitar solo in the 3/4 way thru shuffle, w/ Macca soundbites? Trumpet & chromatic harp after that? You guys are great, you can take a year off yr day job & this too, if you want to pilgrimage the globe & sample the pipes of Jajouka like the late Brian again- gotta DL & listen to ALL yr older jams & mashups.

    ReplyDelete
  52. We're Late For Class11:40 AM

    Thanks for listening. The lead guitar is either McCartney or one of his sidemen. The harp is from Harrison's "Wonderwall Music." The trumpet? Hmmmm. We're not sure. Maybe the same place, or a McCartney album? We were stoned, forgive us. As for our older stuff... it's nearly all live jams. No other mash-ups... except maybe, mashing ourselves.

    You really pumped up Wonderwall in a way that I doubt George would complain about.

    Omlette review.
    The Beatles were good in their time, but lets face it, George was the only one with anything to say. I think we have all had enough of the Magical Mystery Strawberry Walrus thing, after all we have been hearing it for 40 years.
    Well now, "Were Late For Class" brings you "The Act You've Known All These Years", a trip into the dark twisted world of The Beatles alternate reality, a journey from the 60s to present day and beyond. Experience the psychedelic inflected spaces inhabited by rock, jazz, classical and something else, something without genre. Journey to other dimensions on the doomed deepspace starship Mersey Silence. Hear the tribal, primal, hypnotic, drumming as you move through alien jungles and listen to the distant voices, urgently implanting their messages into your brain. Absorb the spacey, trancey, ever changing musical soundscapes of this eclectic collection.Take this trip and feed your mind.
