The "Beatles" -- Everyday Chemistry (full album)

Okay so it goes like this....

Guy named "James Richards" meets up with a dimension-traveller from an alternate universe, where the Beatles "never broke up" and continued making music. As proof, the dimension-traveller lays a cassette on Richards (apparently in this alt-universe you still have Beatles but you also still have cassettes, so it's a trade-off) which purportedly contains a Beatles album we never got in this universe. Here it is, through the magical Trans-Universe Reverse-Dimensional Shifter:

​

OR it could just be somebody took ex-Beatles' solo work and mashed them up in clever ways that mesh. If so it's rather well done.

London Reggae Orchestra: "Take Five"

Dave Brubeck's 1959 "Take Five" used an arrangement in 5/4 time (five beats to a measure) but it's been popular among reggae and ska bands where it's sometimes derisively called "Take Four" since they like to convert it to 4/4/ time. This one begins noodling about in 5/4 for fifteen seconds and then goes reggae....

​

Fun fact: Paul Desmond, Brubeck's saxophonist who composed Take Five, directed in his will that performance royalties after his death (which was 1977) go to the American Red Cross. It's generated on average about $100,000 a year from that gesture.


OK then, gotta play the original band. Live performance 1964 -- Dave Brubeck piano, Paul Desmond sax; Eugene Wright bass; Joe Morello drums.
