Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to ‘add to’ the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens.
Beck does a cover of Alexander Skip Spence’s song little hands from the 1969 album Oar. Skip Spence was a former member of Jefferson Airplane, and the guitarist of Moby Grape. Oar was originally recorded on a three-track recorder in Spence’s living room. More here.
