Rarities and What-Ifs, part 4
This weekend, we will have our fourth collection of bits that are rarely, if ever, heard on FM radio, and those that have a bit of an interesting history to them: Rarities, and What-Ifs, as in “What would you do if you were a famous Heavy Metal band and wanted to do a song based on a novel, only to have the author tell you through his agents that he ‘dislikes Rock music in general and [your band] in particular?'”
We’ll find out during the show.

228 The Mamas and The Papas
A show reminding us of just how good those four-part harmonies were back then, as well as giving us some background on what the various group members did after they broke up.
Preshow included their first recorded work, as backing group for Barry McGuire, and the p;ostshow was taken from their live set from the Monterey Pop Festival.
The Mamas. And The Papas.
This week’s show is concerned with The Mamas, and since we are feeling generous, we will also include The Papas. As well as work by the individual members of the group after it un-grouped.

Flying solo for once, as Mal was in transit, there were up to sixteen listeners, not bad for the start of the holiday season. One of our more esoteric shows too.
As promised, here is a link to a YouTube copy of the original 1980’s SynthAxe demo tape

A first for us, a show dedicated to works from a single record label, in this case the iconic Blue Note label famous for it’s advocacy of Hard Bop in the Seventies, and still going strong.
We have tracks from the classic period and some examples of the new artists on Blue Note today.

226 Saga
A prolific Canadian rock band, mostly progressive, we chose to give you the Chapters of their science fiction saga, originally issued, out of order, over their albums from 1978 to 2003. In the natural break between the first and second books (so to speak) we had four of their concert favourites.
There’s lots more of their work, so let us know if you want us to cover it.
