\nListen\/Download – Funky16Corners Presents: Revolving In Soul 54MB Mixed MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTE: The always excellent Any Major Dude With Half a Heart<\/a> blog did a similar (though more stylistically all-encompassing) mix that you should definitely check out. There’s some crossover, but I think you’ll dig both mixes – Larry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was puttering around in the Funky16Corners Blogcasting Nerve Center and Record Vault<\/strong> the other day and some friends brought it to my attention that the 50th anniversary of the release of the Beatles<\/strong> epic \u2018Revolver\u2019 LP – one of the most important and paradigm-shifting albums of the 60s<\/em> \u2013 was upon us.<\/p>\n

Naturally, having devoted several mixes to the songs of the Beatles (as covered by soul, funk and jazz artists) I had to see if I could put together a mix of covers that approximated the track listing and running order of the original.<\/p>\n

I had to cheat a little bit (what you see here matches the track listing of the US issue of the album,<\/a> i.e. the one I grew up with, but not the longer\/more interesting UK issue, which you see on CD reissues of \u2018Revolver\u2019) and\u00a0the running time is almost the same (with the mix running about two minutes over).<\/p>\n

That is due to the fact that there aren’t many\u00a0covers of material from the UK album that fit inside the (admittedly broad) stylistic brackets I mentioned above. There are a grip of soul\/funk covers of songs like Eleanor Rigby<\/strong>, but none at all of \u2018I\u2019m Only Sleeping\u2019, \u2018And Your Bird Can Sing\u2019 or \u2018Doctor Robert\u2019.<\/p>\n

That said, I did have\u00a0bunch of cool things on hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The saving grace was Don Randi\u2019s<\/strong> 1966 \u2018Revolver Jazz\u2019 LP, contributing no less than three tracks to the mix, the swinging version of \u2018Yellow Submarine\u2019 by the London Jazz 4<\/strong> (good luck finding a version of that song that isn\u2019t meant for kids or played for comedy), and Maceo Parker\u2019s<\/strong> stunning and wholly unexpected version of \u2018For No One\u2019.<\/p>\n

A couple of the tracks in this mix have appeared here in some form before, but I couldn\u2019t resist the pure novelty and record nerd-ery<\/em> of recreating Revolver.<\/p>\n

So, I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
