This seemed unlikely but hey; Leonard Cohen’s favourite version of Paul Anka’s 'My Way’?!

 

Sid Vicious - My Way (from Great Rock n Roll Swindle)

Covered: Neil Young: Alternates, Volume 1: 1966-2001 (A Fabio from Rio Guest Post)!! | Albums That Should Exist

 Covered: Neil Young: Alternates, Volume 1: 1966-2001 (A Fabio from Rio Guest Post)

This struck me as hilarious after downloading the Ten Covers of Neil Young volumes that Paul [ATSE] made available to us and herewith Fabio joins in! More to come! Paul says: Back in March 2026, I posted no less than ten volumes of the "Covered" series for Neil Young. Surely, you'd think, that's enough. Ten volumes is more than any of the other dozens of artists in the "Covered" series. But no, there's more! In making those ten albums, guest posted Fabio from Rio did most of the hard work, collecting hundreds of different cover versions, and presenting them to me in an organized fashion. But I did most of the selecting of which songs made the final cut. This, by contrast, represents Fabio's choices for the best of the rest. I had a little say, but just a song or two here and there where I suggested a different version or something like that. 

Fabio found enough for four volumes of "Covered" alternates. Here's the first one. Across these four volumes, about half the songs are different versions of songs that were included on the previously posted ten Neil Young "Covered" volumes. But the other half are songs that didn't feature on those volumes at all.

Fabio has written some liner notes, which are included in the download zip. But since these volumes are more like an addendum to those earlier ten volumes, he wrote just one essay for all four volumes, without song-by-song explanations.

For some musical acts in the "Covered" series, they had a lot of hits, and the choices of which covers to pick is pretty straight forward - the hit versions. But with Neil Young, it was much more subjective, since there have been tons of covers, but very few hits. So one person's trash is another person's treasure. You may well like some of these better. 

This album is an hour and two minutes long.

Little Feat - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 7-19-1973, Early Show | ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST [ATSE]

 Little Feat - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 7-19-1973, Early Show

Remembering the drubbing I got last time from disparaging Lowell and his guitar playing etc and my not being that much of a fan here’s one for the Little Featers! Paul says: Next up from the Ebbets Fields radio broadcasts is Little Feat. They did an early show and a late show, so naturally I'm starting with the early show.

I've already posted a couple of Little Feat albums, so I won't say much more about them here. But note that this was from relatively early in the band's history, before they became very famous. Near the start of 1973, they released their third album, "Dixie Chicken." It was their first album to go Gold in the U.S., which means sales of half a million. But I'm guessing most of those sales didn't happen until later, when the band's growing popularity caused some people to discover their earlier albums, because the album didn't make the charts at all.

Interestingly, you can hear by the emcee speaking at the end of this recording that the band was actually the opening act for Zephyr. (They probably were much less well know nationwide, but they were based in Denver and played there a lot, so they were local favorites.) Also, it seems only the late show sets of both Little Feat and Zephyr were actually broadcast on the radio. But somehow this recording survived too, probably due to Little Feat's later fame. 

In fact, I'd say these early and late shows by Little Feat are some of the most popular of all the Ebbets Fields recordings. There are very few concert recordings of this sound quality from this early in the band's career. But the recordings, going under names like "American Cutie" and "Late Night Truck Stop," are grey market releases. That means they exploit a loophole in European copyright law allowing for their legal sale in Europe, but the musical act doesn't get any of the profits. 

This album is 54 minutes long.

The Five Du-Tones - Shake a Tail Feather

 Gary [Lucas tha’ knows!] posted this beauty, the original as featured in the Blues Bros film! SUPERB!

The Five Du-Tones - Shake a Tail Feather

The Velvet Underground and Nico play Andy Warhol’s Plastic Inevitable Sunset Strip

I wasn’t sure about this poster it smacked of AI to me! ? It looked to modern somehow, Newsweek with a Roy Lichtenstein Pop Art rip off !? But hey . . . .until I do more research I will leave it there. Certainly Andy called the band's events as The “Exploding” Plastic Inevitable Show at times with Light Shows and film showings and as to whether they ever played the Sunset Strip I remain unsure so  . . . . . . watch this space!

Actually seem to be genuine despite the lack of the word ‘Exploding’ and the original poster seems to have gone for $10,000!

SILVER APPLES “OSCILLATIONS” [Gary Lucas]

 As eclectic as ever Gary (Lucas!) posted this one this morning . . . . . just as he says decades ahead of their time . . . . 

SILVER APPLES “OSCILLATIONS”

the film clip here features the peerless Romy Schneider his muse and sweetheart who he cheated on with Nico (sic?) and eventually married the equally stunning Nathalie but when Romy Schneider died it is said he put flowers on Schnieder's grave every year of the rest of his life

These images come from the film by

I certainly didn’t!
