Label “Stolen Voices” is a bootleg remix album featuring rare or
unreleased tracks and long-lost demos. The only elements used in the
final arrangements are the original lead and backing vocals, plus stray
bits of guitar or whatever. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED.
Jean 1 is a Northern Soul reworking of 5.30 Plane by The Supremes, sung
by Jean Terrell and taken from the 1972 LP The Supremes Produced And
Arranged By Jimmy Webb. The version here was lifted from a scratchy
seven-inch recorded onto a hissy C60.
Todd features Todd Rundgren performing The Ballad (Denny And Jean). The
vocal was taken from a live version of the song recorded at the Fox
Theater, California, in 1971. During this version, Rundgren forgets
part of the lyric.
John 1 is from the 1968 Esher Beatles demos for The White Album and was originally titled Child Of Nature.
Jimmy is Sycamore Trees as sung by Jimmy Scott in the final episode of Twin Peaks in 1991.
Billy is a lost demo by the Associates singer Billy MacKenzie, remixed
here with inspiration from the Memphis sessions of Dusty Springfield
and Elvis Presley. White Label recovered the vocal from the original
digital tapes.
Jean 2 is a song called Don’t Say Goodbye, sung by Jean King on a Harry Nilsson publishing promo disc in 1967.
Billie is a rare version of Prelude To A Kiss by Billie Holiday
David is Tired Of My Life, a 1971 David Bowie acoustic, reel-to-reel
home demo of a song that didn't make it onto Hunky Dory, here restored
to what we think it might have sounded like.
John 2 is a cut-up of a live performance of Small Hours by John Martyn at Reading University in 1978
Dennis is Carry Me Home, an unreleased track by Beach Boys drummer
Dennis Wilson that failed to make the cut for Holland in 1973.
