Well another new month and no one knows what it holds for us all , but back in 1973 this was happening
Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. It was McCartney's fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – "Jet" and "Band on the Run" – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalizing McCartney's critical standing. It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works. here is a cover of the title track by the REO Brothers
All the best and stay safe its not over yet, Brian007

As a cover to me its spot on the only way they could cover that song so completely is if they have the score not just the sheet music as we know it as an album it did very well so basically its all down to either you like it or you don`t , personally I think its a masterpiece and one of his best pieces

Hello Brian, The voices seem to go together OK. I think it is better than a lot of the screaming heeby geebies we hear now. Pleasant listen. Regards,Den.

Music to me is a lot like food you either like something or you don`t and based on that theory there are certain genres that I give a wide birth to and don`t listen too, but everyone has different tastes in both food and music and as such i respect their choices after all if would be a pretty boring world if we all liked the same.

Thanks for that Brian. I remember them well. Here is an original version from 1068 with Mama Cass,
The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin'
This is one of those older recordings that they have decided in their wisdom to turn into STEREO. Trouble is they have done the stereo 100% to the left and 100% to the right. I'm sure this sounds great when coming through speakers as both ears are hearing both channels. But with headphones on, you get 100% of the left channel in the left ear (none in the right) and 100% of the right channel in the right ear (none to the left .. and that does my head in. Why couldn't they at least leave about 10% of each channel coming to both ears? Would have made great listening with headphones.

A lot of Artists and Bands are having a real hard time during this pandemic as there is little or no work for them especially if playing live is there only source of income some have adapted and started to record there performances and post them on Youtube to try and earn enough to put food on the table and I personally have heard of people having to sell their gear to bring in some money, so I am going to try and help some of these people out by posting occasionally covers of music by some amateur bands who have posted it on Youtube as they get a small fee every time its viewed.
