When I first encountered Track 5, I read the song name before hearing it. I thought it was a clever image. "I've caught a case of you and I can't get over it!" Imagine my shock when I heard Joni sing "I could drink a case of you."
Track 7 astounds me because it's so brief. When I bought the 45, I figured it was a shortened version of a longer album track. Imagine my surprise when I bought Chicago III and discovered this was it!
Track 8, of course, is from the TV movie The Point. Have you seen it?
Track 17 is another little work of genius by Neil Innes for the Rutles.
I remember the video for Track 18, don't you?
Track 20 is briefly heard on a jukebox in Twilight Zone: The Movie. It's a good song, given a stronger cachet by this knowledge, I think.
The last track is another exceptional entry from the Beatles Remixers Group. It's a spiffy semi-rewind of "Dear Prudence," from LOUD to soft, instead of the original's soft to LOUD.
See you Monday!
