When the Beatles recorded Buddy Holly’s “Crying, Waiting, Hoping” at their audition for Decca Records in 1962, they were recreating an arrangement that Holly himself had never approved, much less heard.

Back in 1988, before Tori Amos found her voice as a singer-songwriter, she made her debut with the heavy handed synth rock band Y Kant Tori Read. They released one poorly-received eponymous album and disbanded because Amos couldn’t stand the music she was making or the image Atlantic Records was shoehorning her into. The album and CD barely sold, and went out of print. But long after Amos became an established star, the album remains unavailable, apparently at Amos’ behest since she didn’t feel the music represented her. Maybe not, but her fans are shrewd enough to understand that, while still wanting to hear it. It might make for a good bonus disc in a box set (which would let Amos avoid having to put the embarrassing front cover back on CD racks).

Paul McCartney claims that he was the real politicized figure in The Beatles, not John Lennon, according to an interview published Sunday.
If someone in the mid 1960s had placed a microphone next to Ringo Starr’s stomach while he ate a particularly sumptuous meal and recorded the ensuing gastric symphony, chances are that years later Beatles historians would be eager to hear the piece and would debate its place in the band’s canon.
