Ronaldo Lark e a Turma Bab-Luba - Waldemar

Now those are some festive trumpets!

The Soft Rocks - Whore Your Love

Disco Power Play, The Album, now available from all the finest European record-sellers.

The drummer does something quite nifty at 1:24 (and again at 2:14, 4:35, and 5:26). Kudos.

And yeah, I've had no luck trying to find the source of this re-edit so far, although I did encounter an even slower Nils Lofgren reggae-halftime version.

Green Arrows - The Towering Inferno

Inspired by the film. Best flubbed guitar note at 1:02.

Claude Larson - Mosquito

...from a library record so rare, not even the great Paul Durango has it; yet this jam has been lovingly re-issued by afro-funky records.

Notes: "African orchestra-sounds including original African instruments recorded in South Africa. Original African drums played by members of the Xosa-Tribe, recorded in Cape Town South Africa."

Claude bringing some Rimsky-Korsakov-type styles to the table on this one.

Keith Richards: Please Please Me [197?]

A fascinating studio outtake in which Sir Keith gamely warbles through the Lennon/McCartney classic, struggles to find the right chord for the "come on, come on" part, refuses to do the "horrible Beatles bridge" but then does it anyway, alters one chord and says "See, I could have written it better."

Another installment in our ongoing series of drunken Beatles/Stones outtakes with the wrong person singing. For the first installment see here.

Zeitgeist note: Moistworks apparently posted this like 2 hours ago. I have had this bootleg for years and was planning to post this all day. Weird.
