The Beachles - A mashup of Pet Sounds and Sergeant Pepper

Clayton Counts has produced a "mashup" of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper and The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. . .two albums often in the running for the best rock album of the 1960's, and often they are both in the top ten for the best rock records of all time. (note...he also always has a lot of gem "lost" and weird MP3s on his web site). Clayton says:

"Below you will find a track-for-track mash-up of the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds with the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Of course, I say “mash-up” because I wouldn’t know what else to call it. It’s really more of an abstract record, but like some of my other projects it’s also a commentary on bootleg culture. "

"Some impolite halfwit was asking why people always compare these records, and so I’ll let Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson answer that question. Have a listen. If ever two records screamed out to be combined, it’s these two. This was created to entertain friends, and I’d be a total bastard if I didn’t give some credit where it is due. This was made at the suggestion of two friends of mine, Adam Wolak and Neil Keener. Sorry it took me two years to get around to it, guys. 100% of the audio here is taken from the two records and various session recordings, and none of it has been created from scratch.

"If you’d like to download the whole thing as a torrent, click here. Or, if you have an account at Oink’s Pink Palace, click here. Also, please be warned: this record is extremely noisy in places, and it’s not for everyone. If you can’t take a little dissonance, you may want to stay away entirely. It’ll probably be awhile before the cover’s done, too. Very happy listening, ladies and gents. I humbly present: The Beachles."
