You might like this little slice of relatively well-recorded tomfoolery recorded live at the famous Fillmore East in 1971. What a night it must have been. Anyhow, it really depends on which mix you like better. Lennon and Ono or Frank Zappa. To me, Some Time In New York City sounds pretty muddy. I like this album because it has (to my knowledge) none of Zappa's Xenechrony. It's all raw, but if you really pay attention, these Mothers were pretty tight.

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Well

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Say Please

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Aaawk (I love Yoko's ferocious "aaawk" squeals...like she's repeatedly being shoved underwater.)

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Scumbag

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - A Small Eternity With Yoko Ono

Willie Dickson and The Playboys - Licking Stick (1969)

Andrea True Connection - More, More, More (1976) Instrumental version sounds almost like a run-through. Especially that bass. I like it.

Collective Consciousness Society CCS - Whole Lotta Love (1971)

Discogs: CCS (Collective Consciousness Society) was a British group formed by bluesman Alexis Korner and Danish vocalist Peter Thorup. The band itself also consisted of different studio casts who would be around but also included Tony Carr (drums), Herbie Flowers (bass), Harold Beckett (trumpet), Harold McNair (woodwind), and Henry Lowther (trumpet), among others. This wasn’t all, as they were going for a unique sound to rival the top Rock acts of the day. So they would grab the creme de la creme of jazz studio musicians of the time. The entire lineup would always be subject to change throughout the band’s history, depending on personnel availability at recordings.

Desmond Dekker and the Aces - Licking Stick (1971)

David Peel and the Lower East Side - The Ballad of New York City - John Lennon / Yoko Ono (1972)

Elephant's Memory - Local Plastic Ono Band (1972)

George Torrence and the Naturals - (Mama, Come Quick, And Bring Your) Lickin' Stick (1968) Note the composer.

James Brown - Licking Stick, Licking Stick (1968) Now, the same song, re-written by James Brown.

Rusty Garnett - Licking Stick, Licking Stick (196?)

Tenth Hour - Lickin Stick (1975) This beat Shazam! Credited to Charles Manley and George Torrence.

The United States Air Force Band featuring The Free Design – "The Now Sound Of Christmas" (1968) These are all live recordings, and some have never been released on Free Design albums. ESPECIALLY the song "Shepherds and Wisemen" which, to my ears, is very good. A hidden gem.

The Proper Ornaments/Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence/Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer/Close Your Mouth (It's Christmas)/Christmas Is The Day/Winter Wonderland/Shepherds and Wise Men/Reprise-The Now Sound of Christmas. It would be so nice to hear this on a big FM radio console in a living room.

Jimmy Castor Bunch (featuring the Everything Man) - Supersound (1975) I love this.
