I just finished a big but fun project. I recorded bass demos for original 1970 Jesus Christ Superstar album. Alan Spenner did most of the bass playing, along with his colleagues in the Grease Band sans Joe Cocker and Chris Stainton. The music that these guys produced here represents the peak of superior rock band musicianship in the late 60s. I have some question that I hope will find answers on this board. First, how is it that the Grease Band got involved in the project? Outside looking in and looking back, it looks like they just abandoned Joe Cocker in America, who had contractual tour obligations. How is it that Stainton stayed behind with Cocker to be part of Mad Dogs and Englishmen? And, why wasn’t Cocker himself invited to sing on the production. As for Spenner himself, the best video of him live is the Woodstock performance, with his black P, flats, and finger plucking. It sure sounds like a pick throughout the album. Any thoughts or info??? I am using my ‘69P with the P pup only, oldish DR Highbeam flats, and a 2X15 GBX bass cab and driver with no effects. I skip over some material, like the Overture, because it repeats later on, or there is no “bass guitar meat”. So, here is my first upload…”Heaven on their Minds”. http://www.youtube.com/user/solowbassUse headphones. I’ll upload more numbers every few days. Stay tuned here. Paul

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
