In honour of a thread that’s been highlighted in the Beatard Bonfire section by My Avatar Is A Hot Babe (and ain’t that the truth! WhatI’d like to do to her, oh wowzer!) I’d like to kick off your all time fantasy album cum best trax vote off.
Now for the best bit, MY rules:
1. Your fantasy album must fit on minty vinyl, single album pressing so I’m going out on a limb here and saying 27mins of music MAX each side (I know, I know, but it is fantasy) B. This is a duets album 3. The dueting artists MUST have been recording at the same time in history as each other - none of this hologram shit F. NO RAP tracks 5. Olivia Newton-John and Macca HAVE to feature somewhere, can be guest harmonies on another duet but they need full credit 7. Choose whether Gray, Bellman or the Esteemed Host Hoofta master it G. No more than 10 tracks. No less than 9. 10. The songs must be 80% well known songs (nothing past ‘78 at a push) and 20% new fantasy compositions - really have some fun here guys! 9. Choose 3 singles and state Billboard and Gallup chart placings J. Then vote backwards, rating them worst to best and upload a photo of your own created artwork with photo of your listening room in the background.
OK, that’s it! Nice and simple, this should be great fun and I can’t wait to see what all you guys come up with! I may have to pull a few allnighters myself to get this album “produced” by FRIDAY’S release date! (Oh, did I forget to mention? tee-hee-hee)

I'd play along, but my fantasy album would never leave the shrink wrap.

How many points do I win if STeVE steals the mastertapes for my fantasy album?

OK it's a fucking Monkees reunion live album made in 1973, at the Royal Albert Hall and featuring all four members and guests artists on each track. There was also a film made directed by Richard Lester and intented for cinema release. It's a bit like the Last Waltz but for a wider Shite demographic (including Macca, ONJ and members of Chicago -including Kath on guitar). I stand to be corrected on monkees vocalists. For maximum effect would like to work in the idea that the audio or film never saw the light of day. Maybe someone can help come up with a reason why it's only just being released and masterbated by Hoffa. Here's the track listing 1) Last train to Clarksville (guest duet - Elton John) - Shite rationale, for Strat-mangler to get all worked up when he tries ordering on RSD. 2) Bip Bop segued into Ram on (duet between Davy Jones and Macca) - Shite rationale - for massive remasterbation release hysteria. 3) I'm a Believer (Mickey D and Ringo) - they take it turns to do drum bits and vocals. This one to be re-released in coloured vinyl, limited addition A side '45 for £20 a go, just for the sake of exploiting Beatards. 4) Little Wing (Vocals Mickey D and Eric Clapton, featuring long duel guitar solos from Clapton and Kath). This is the first time Clapton has appeared in public for several years, and he's strung out from heroin addiction, a mere shadow of the man who three years later would be giving Oswald Mosley type speeches at his gigs.
5) The Weakest Link (sung by Peter Tork and Roger Daltrey( ). This is a previously unknown original featuring the lyrics 'I'm a lawyer, you're a shrink / Poat me down your weakest link). 6) Different Drum (Mike Nesmith and ONJ - Linda Ronstadt wasn't available). 7) Pleasant Valley Sunday (Mikey D and Todd Rundgren) - Chris De Voe will be wetting himself. 8) Fab Gear (Davy Jones and Dave Clark) - another original, this is a homage to the HiFi - lyrics seem like they are metaphors for sex but some people have suggested there is no double meaning intended. The chorus goes 'show us your gear bucko, it better be fab gear, like them millionnaires, capice?' 9) Plastic Fantastic Lover (Grace Slick and Mike Nesmith) - this one includes a slide show backdrop of rekkids being made in factories and people's vinyl collections. In fact, it's a bit like antiram 's vid. 10) The Porpoise Song (Mickey D and Robert Plant) - Bill Bruford also guests on this one, for added Shite prog hard on. So there you go. Hopefully it's sufficiently Shitey. Now it's your turn.

That's awesome, I can't wait for the 45rpm RSD double vinyl release in gatefold sleeve with candid shots of the Monkees in the studio on one side and on the other, stock images of the guests.

My Custom "Elvis Presley Artist Of The Century" Box (1955-1972)Not that anyone cares to even see it, but the sky (and wealth of songs) is the limit when making an Elvis Presley set! One of my favorite Elvis releases, in concept, was the three disc "Artist Of The Century" set released about 18 years back or so. And I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I had to make my own. This set is very taste-based, and not intended to be comprehensive. It also is limited to my favorite precise window of Elvis' career (up to around 1972). In the end, the set was simply compiled by the songs I most enjoy playing again and again, nothing more. This isn't a "historical document". It's just a labor of love for the artist (and voice) of the last century. I ended up with 132 tracks (and yet I honestly thought I was being a bit selective). :laugh: This fantasy box has 22 tracks spread over 6 CD's (and 12 LP's) and is sequenced in loose chronological order. It is limited to 5000 copies, and I happened to get a hold of lucky #1956. Well, here's the cover of this thing. Leave it sealed and let it skyrocket in value, or, if you're like me, open it and enjoy it! :nauga: Track notes and "deluxe book pages" to follow... The fantasy deluxe book... Looks nice. Thank you. It's been a labor of love. Next time you might want to use colors that are easier on the eyes and more complimentary to each other. The lime green background is really hard on the eyes! Well, it's kinda meant to be hard on the eyes (as is the book in the "Complete 50's Masters" box), as it's really a collage-styled book. Plus, I assumed the text is the last thing that would be noticed...

It's like Twilight fan-fiction, just much SHittier.

That bootleg is terrible. I saw it somewhere and read the blurb in Hot Wacks about it and thought if I ever got the chance, I'd check it out. I found it on Pirate Bay or something, and while the cover is absolutely one of the greatest things ever (completists couldn't deny it no matter how much it offended them), the music is awful. I thought Queenie Waheenie's Papaya would be hilarious. It's not. It's just awful. Then again, it says right on the cover, "This Record Is About As Funny As A Turd In A Punch Bowl." Total truth in advertising there.

That was the whole point. The peopson who put it together knew that Elvis fans had to collect everything, even if they hated the songs and hated whoever made fun of their idol. They had no humour whatsoever but needed the entire discography.
