In 1968, Apple set up its offices and its businesses; There were two that were of interest to this album: Apple publishing and Apple records. During itâs time in the business world Apple received hundreds of demo recordings, some of which were from people who would become eminent in their field. Now it has long been an interesting question as to what happened to all those tapes etc.
RPM records is a company who specialize in trying to find, and release things that other companies cannot manage. Several years ago , they began to address this question and finally managed to make some headway â¦â¦â¦â¦clearly there are some copy write issues with famous people that are complex and will take years to sort out , but this issue take some of the easier material which came into Apple publishing and makes it available on CDâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.
The first of these CDâs is called 94 Baker Street and contains some of the demos and tracks which were submitted to Apple publishing.
The roster is varied but some of the highlights include unreleased demos by The Iveys who later became Badfinger, tracks by Grapefuit, Focal Point, The Misunderstood, John Fitch and The Associates and Paintbox.
From this one gets a fascinating glimpse into the sort of music flowing through Apple in the early days and the range of talent that was thereâ¦â¦â¦â¦..IN addition some of the tracks on this album have Beatle involvement.
There is a second volume called â An Apple A Dayâ which goes into more depth that I will be tracking down in the future.:wink:
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
