the tired 4
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.5" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The Tired 4 was Allison Buff and three friends produced by Paul Buff during
studio downtime at Original Sound Studios in 1967. They wanted to cut a single
for Original Sound, but the two tracks they completed (“Somethin’ Stupid”
and “The Stripper”) were not released. These were very strange and
uncommercial instrumental arrangements, not unlike what Frank Zappa might have
done if he attempted them. The then-recent Frank & Nancy Sinatra #1 hit
“Somethin’ Stupid” is included here in its first mix."
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.6" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The
Tired 4's strange take of "The Stripper" showed that Paul Buff always
wanted to experiment and that nothing was sacred!"
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.9" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"In the "off-the-wall" department, stick four people in a room
at a strange hour and you get The Tired 4's "Don't Let This Happen To
You"! If you listen carefully, you can hear Paul and Allison Buff among the
mayhem. The original track was cut down to a more manageable length for this
release, and this collage includes pieces of the songs "Somethin'
Stupid," "Fascination Waltz" and "Drums A-Go-Go" - that
is, if you can recognize them!"
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.16" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The
inspired craziness of The Tired 4's "Somethin' Stupid" (in its second
mix) and Buff's first version of "Funny" is finally grounded by an
alternate stereo mix of Ricky Dean's "Flowers" and the second backing
track of Bobby Ray's "Encinada Way.""
