Torrent description

Originally Shared At http://ConspiracyHub.Com

You may know this without knowing you do. On 2002s Private Press, DJ Shadow dug this 1971 obscurity out of his 60,000 LP collection. He turned Colnol Bagshot's "Six Day War" into "Six Day's"-a hit for this genius who probably cares less about hitmaking than Bagshot did.

Obviously, Oh What A Lovely War is a hen's tooth, thanks to Shadow. "Six Day War" has two singers--Shadow sliced one-and the organ frame is close to Shadow's mix, sans modern electronic filtering.

Forced to choose, I would pick Shadow's mix, only because he adds layers, making it more dynamic. Curiously, Shadow kept the vocals of the weeker singer. The second verse of "Six Day War," is belted by a superior, Joe Cocker-ish vocalist. It is jarring to hear: like seeing the fully constructed set of your favorate TV sitcom, camreas, lights, and where the left and right walls actually end.

The rest of this is soul and pop with some folk tinges. Pretty typical early 70s album making. Nice to listen to and mix a song in with other material. Not, however, a standout.

Unlike Shadow, Andy Votel actually reissues the albums he samples. I understand keeping these long gone vynal slices secret adds to the mystique, but enough already. Share the wealth, Josh. Trust me--you're already famous, and deservedly so.
