I started this blog to provide an outlet for my fascination with The Beatles' work in experimental and avant-garde music. The genesis for my interest was their Zapple Records label, whose releases I first saw in the record bins as an eleven year old. I have decided to expand the focus to include my interests in music more broadly - so these days, I basically write about whatever strikes my fancy. I hope some find it enjoyable.
Of note on the 8-Track release of "Wedding Album" is the track arrangement. "Amsterdam," 25 minutes in length, is spread across two full programs of the tape, concluding on program three (8-Track tapes contained four "programs," so an album's tracks often had to be adjusted or rearranged to fit into these programs). "John & Yoko (22:44) comprises the remainder of program three, and all of program four.
