Скачать или смотреть Le Cirque STEREO “Land Of Oz" 1967 RARE Leon Russell Jesse Ed Davis Ray Pohlman Jim Gordon

Get your headphones on, because here is a special 2024 STEREO mix of Le Cirque's trippy 1967 Buddah label single, "Land Of Oz," engineered by Steve Liddycoat, who has created other stereo and rare multi-channel mixes of several songs using some of the latest technology available. One of Buddah's best-known singles of that genre was "Green Tambourine," a Number One hit by The Lemon Pipers in early 1968. The flipside of "Land Of Oz" was "I'll Be Thinking Of You," written by Russell's new musical partner Marc Benno.
The producer of the studio magical "Land Of Oz" was Leon Russell, who had befriended Benno, who had joined the group The Outcasts after Leon produced their cover of "I Gotta Find Cupid," a song that Leon had also arranged for Gary Lewis & the Playboys. Marc moved into Leon's Skyhill Drive home, as did several people, and Leon and Marc became collaborators as The Asylum Choir on two albums, one released on Smash Records and the second on Leon's own label Shelter. This song was done just prior to their summer sessions for Asylum sessions in 1967.
During that July 1967 session that Leon produced, which cost $1,797.25, Marc's song "I'll Be Thinking of You" was recorded with four other songs. Leon and Bill Boatman's trippy "Land of Oz" was among them and those two were released together on a Buddah label single credited to Le Cirque. The three remaining songs were "Can't Take It Much Longer," written by Delaney Bramlett and Joey Cooper, "What the World Needs Now," written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and Phil Spector. That trio of tunes went to Delaney & Bonnie and appeared on their "collective history" album Genesis. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was also put on an Independence label single.
There were twenty-three musicians on the evening session that included Jesse Ed Davis on guitar, Jim Gordon on drums, Jim Horn on wind wood and brass, Bill Boatman on percussion, Larry Knechtel on piano and Ray Pohlman on bass. The vocalist with Marc Benno was Blair Smith.
