Musical Secrets

by Pete Holly

#1."Battle of the Garges"-original "12" inch vinyl release in 1981.
If you look really hard you can see etched into the vinyl after the
last song-"Sky Saxon Live's".Sky Saxon was the lead Singer and
songwriter of the legendary Garage Band "The Seed's".The
Seeds best known song,"Pushin' to Hard" is one of several classic garage band songs that appear as cover versions on the album.

#2."Paperback Writer"-The Beatles-If you listen carefully to
the background vocals by John and George they aren't singing
about a "Paperback Writer".Instead they intone the french
nursery rhyme "phar-ah-jauqe-ah".Some how it work's !

#3."Day Tripper"-The Beatle's-More Beatles mischief as the line
that was originally written as "She's a Big Teaser" become's
"She's a Prick Teaser".Boy's will be Boy's.

#4.The song that won Johnny Rotten the lead-singer spot in the
Sex Pistols was a spontanous and spitited version of Alice Cooper's
"I'm Eighteen".

#5.The Rolling Stones and The Beatles got along famously.All of the
Good Boy/Bad Boy rivalry was complete fiction made up by The
Stones Manager-Andrew Long Oldham.

But wait a minute-Andrew Long Oldham also was the most vocal
oponent of the English Music Trade Papers trashing of The Beach Boy's
Landmark album "Pet Sounds".He went so far as to take out a very
expensive full page ad in "The London Time's"-proclaiming "Pet Sounds"
as the Greatist record of all time and that all the critics were idiots
who didn't know a true work of genuis when they heard it.Paul McCart-
ney also expressed his fondness and amazment at the extremly
creative use of sound on the Record.
