Was on my way out to mow the lawn this evening but stopped to hear "Shangri La" by the Kinks off of "Arthur" which was in the CD player. Perhaps listening to the Davies brothers vocal capabilities is an acquired taste but the drumming on this particular song is quite tasty when played on a good system and the irony of materialism in Great Britain of the late 1960s is delivered in typical Kinks pithy style. Their album "Arthur" is still worthwhile.

Now that you've found your paradise
This is your kingdom to command
You can go outside and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la

Here's your reward for working so hard
Gone on the lavatories in the back yard
Gone all the days when you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your shangri-la

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la

The little man who gets the train
Has got a mortgage hanging over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'Cause he's conditioned that way
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Got a T.V set and a radio
For seven Shillings a week
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la

All the houses on the street have got a name
'Cause all the houses in the street they look the same
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes
The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go
They tell your business in another Shangri-la
The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are
Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la la la la la la la la la

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la

Here's an obscure off-the-wall, YouTube-only, almost-but-not-quite-nearly Beatles tune, "Sour Milk Sea." George Harrison wrote it and gave it to Jackie Lomax who released it for a minor hit at the time. Musicians performing include Harrison on slide and rhythm guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Paul McCartney on bass guitar, Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, and Ringo Starr on drums.

This mash-up was cobbled together by someone taking the Jackie Lomax released version of the song, scrubbing the vocals, and substituting a studio outtake of an acoustical version with Harrison doing the vocals and mixing the whole thing together. My son rigged a decent little speaker/sub-woofer system to our computer which helps us enjoy listening to music off the computer.

It comes off sounding pretty good considering. If the Beatles had performed the tune, it would have been a great addition to the "White Album." "Revolution No. 9" could have been scrapped in favor of this Harrison song with still more room for another tune.

For a comparative listen here's the original with Jackie Lomax singing. The instrumentals do sound better.

The lyrics in case they prove difficult to catch.

"If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you
Don't get the breaks like some of us do
Better work it out; find where you've gone wrong
Better do it soon as you don't have long

Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out whats going on there

If you want the most from everything you do
In the shortest time your dreams come true
In no time at all it makes you more aware
Very simple process takes you there

Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out whats going on there

Looking for release from limitation?
There's nothing much without illumination
Can fool-around with every different cult
There's only one way brings result

Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out whats going on there."

Good grief! What were they thinking, not including a Beatles version on the White Album? Oh, well, they were trying to get Apple Corps off the ground, so why not give it away?
