Numbered, Limited Edition 180g Multi-Colored Swirl Vinyl Double LP!
1970: The Complete Fun House Sessions was recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders in
Los Angeles and compiled from all thirteen reels of multi-track tape that held
every note and snippet of studio dialogue. Twelve reels of tape were used during
the original sessions, with the thirteenth reel having the takes that would be
used on the studio album. This sprawling set which was originally aimed at the
collector market would be challenging and cost prohibitive to reissue as a
multi-disc vinyl box set. What is presented here is an attempt to assemble some
of the best highlights from the Fun House Sessions on an officially-released 2LP
set in high quality packaging with a sequence that hopefully proves to be an
easier, and more casual listen. Included are some terrific alternate versions of
Down on the Street, Loose, Dirt, Funhouse ,1970 and others, pulled from session
reels 1, 4,6, 7, 9 & 11 and originally recorded on May 11,12, 15, 18, 21 & 25 of
1970. Also notable is the inclusion of the 17+ minute-version of L.A. Blues,
titled as “Freak,” which encompasses the entire fourth side of this set and is
the prime example of what makes the Funhouse Sessions both loved and feared
simultaneously.
Brand new collection that includes some of the best alternate takes from the
legendary Complete Fun House Sessions box set. First time all of these alternate
tracks are available on vinyl with a new track sequence.
