Happy anniversary GS! It's been a wild ride. 15 years ago I was just finishing up, or had just finished, recording an album for the Original P at my little studio in Atlanta. These were the four front singers from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Parliament Funkadelic, minus George Clinton. I had high hopes for further studio success, but to make a very long story short... The record company, Westbound Records, decided that funk wasn't selling enough and forced Original P to start touring with a rap group for half their shows. Fuzzy Haskins was in my control room when he took the phone call informing them of that, and all hell broke loose. That was a bad day.And to make matters worse, Westbound decided, after 8 months off and on recording this record in between their road shows, to not release the record. Which totally sucked for me. I mean I had been paid promptly for the studio time, but I was really hoping to get on the map so to speak with that record. And just a few moments ago, before I wrote this post, I decided to do a search for them (I haven't looked them up in years)- and I'll be damned.... I found out they released a record in 2016- some 15 years later- which contains two of the tunes I recorded for them, along with some newer stuff. I just tracked it, and did not mix it.I found them on youtube, and I have a sneaking suspicion that they used two of my quick rough mixes after sessions which they always got after every session as a basis for these, and then added a thing or two on top. Because they probably still don't have access to the masters. It's sad, because I still have the highest resolution masters. The record company requested ADATs, and so I delivered to Westbound 96 tracks spread out on 12 ADAT tapes. And there are still like 10 more tunes, which will probably never ever be heard by the public.Anyway, here are the two tunes I am talking aboutBoy, I have some stories I can tell about these guys, and the things that went on.Grand Marnier, anyone?Jesus, hearing that brings back some serious memories. Yes, ****in A, those are my rough mixes, I am sure of it. No efx, no nuttin, straight off my Soundcraft Ghost 32. Man oh man, life sucks sometimes. But I've moved on.PS: lol, well I guess I did mix them, sort of, but those are rough mixes after session. not even close to real mixes. Funny they decided they were good enough to release.
