ALBUMS THAT NEVER WERE

Another absolute gem from 'Albums that Never Were' this morning and again (sic) worth checking out if only to read the notes for this. As is always the case with these labours of love from SonicLoveNoize the research is meticulous if the outcome often an entirely personal take on what might have been (I rarely disagree with him mind. . . )

I was thinking to post the text here but that's unfair I reckon and you should head over and check these labours for yourselves

This is a reconstruction of the unreleased 1973 John Lennon/Phil Spector collaboration album Oldies But Mouldies, recorded in the midst of Lennon’s infamous “Lost Weekend”.  Put on hold when Phil Spector mysteriously disappeared with the mastertapes, the album was later recovered, mostly rerecorded and released as the Rock ‘n’ Roll album in 1975.  This reconstruction attempts to not only present a more listenable product, but to present what the album would have sounded like before it became Rock ‘n’ Roll.
