2023.10 Two Buddies on Holly Days (overview, ”Holly Days” and ”John Lennon at the St.Regis: Clock”)

When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles - A podcast by Ed Chen and Jon Stone - Mondays

One of the first things John Lennon did when landing in New York City was an "art film" named "Clock" that was promptly locked away.    While the film remains in limbo, the soundtrack found its way to the public, first through the "Lost Lennon Tapes", and later (in a more complete form) from the "Dutch Import" market.    Four years later (after buying the Holly catalog), Wings (in the form of Paul, Linda and Denny) would go into Rude Studios in Scotland and attempt something conceptually similar, if with a little studio finesse.     While the album remains in limbo, we are hopeful a release is possible.    Tune in to hear Lonnie Pena and I talk about both projects and the benefits and detractions of going "homespun".
