Category: A SUCCESS!!!! Music

Sometimes I like to engage in dialogues with LPs and their sleeves...

And this is just what happenned with PASS THE REVIEW, recorded and released in 1962...

Yes boss, I’m reading the sleeve notes (RS:) on this beautifully coloured LP and this is the conversation I had....


RS: ’WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A V.I.P?’

PG£: "HELL YES!!!"

RS: ’Because the moment you lower the stylus onto this disc you become one’

PG£: ’OH FUCK!!! PUT THE NEEDLE DOWN!!! PUT THE FUCKING NEEDLE DOWN!!!!’

(HISS CRACKLE POP (SOUND OF MILITARY MARCHING AND BARKING SERGEANT MAJOR) HISS CRACKLE POP)

RS: ’As you sit back you are occupying the seat of honour with Princes,’

PG£ ’ FUCKING A!!!!!’

RS: ’Presidents,’

PG£ ’YOUR EXCELLENCY!!!!’

RS: ’and Prime Ministers’

PG£ ’DO YOU KNOW NOEL GALLAGHER???’

RS: ’waiting for the greatest ever parade of the United Nations to PASS IN REVIEW before you with all its pomp and ceremony’

PG£ ’To be honest, I knew that one day this would happen to me....’

RS: ’The exciting hum of the hugs crowd stirs a little as the Queen’s Company Guard of Honour you have just imspected marches up and Presents Arms for your approval.’

PG£: ’UP A LITTLE BIT, DOWN A LITTLE BIT...APPROVAL GRANTED!!! QUIIIIIIIIICCCCKKKK MARCH!!!!’

(HISS CRACKLE POP (SOUND OF MILITARY MARCHING AND BARKING AND DRUM ROLL) HISS CRACKLE POP)

RS: ’If you listen very carefully on first-class equipment, you will hear the car that brought you to the parade driveway’

PG£: ’I CAN HEAR THE CRUNCH OF THE GRAVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

RS: ’A gold and silver-splendoured fanfare from the Heraldic Trumpets of Windsor, the magic words of command passed from echelon to echelon of the route-lining troops and the Big Parade is ON!

PG£: ’IT FEELS LIKE SWEET HEAVEN!!!!

etc
