Dear Reader,Among my CD collection is a compilation, released in 1995, that I picked-up second-hand. It's called A Flavour of the Label 4, and it seems to be a promo for acts who recorded, at that time, for Capitol Records and EMI Records.
I've heard of most of the acts on the CD, which include Supergrass, Foo Fighters, Blur, Radiohead and EMF. However, the 14th and final track is a total mystery:-
mp3 : P - Michael Stipe
Now to make it quite clear, its someone called P singing a song called Michael Stipe. Not the other way around. The scant information for the track says:-
Composer : P
Publisher : Mr Cigar Publishing
Producer : Andrew Weiss
Can anyone supply anything more?
Kind regards
Yours sincerely
JC

Wow, actually:
http://www.geocities.com/welcome_to_the_black_pearl/music.html
Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers fame (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNAHoOKxok) with Johnny Depp???
I'm in touch with my people about this, I'm guessing the REM morethananexpert might come up trumps.
This is just about the World Championship of obscurity, JC - well done!
Can't help you, of course, but this post tickled me for some reason. All the more so that somewhere on the internets you actually did find people who can help.
Unleash the hive mind and stand back in awe...!
If Johnny Depp is involved, I'm not surprised...I have a compy track billed as Oasis and 'friends', which is really just Johnny Depp.
Tee hee...
i remember when this came out in 1995 ish.
Johnn Depp and Gibby Haynes were involved. Maybe Flea also. I thought id never hear this again. I too heard it on some new music comp.
I actually like the song
What can I say but thank you.
Mrs Villain is particularly delighted at this outcome for she is very much a Johnny Depp lovin' sort of woman.
I followed the first link and found all of this info....
