…and now for something completely different! 2654 - 2025

Those damned religious zealots, politicians, warlords and... They all bring death and ruin and they don't know that they are as superfluous as telephone disinfectors and hairdressers! - RYP

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2023 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All other official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy. Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P.

Ray Waters – The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde

Custom Records (a subsidiary of Crown Records) CS 1109 (Canada – 1968)

Note :

This album is the same as “Best Of Bluegrass Favorites” by The Kentucky Mountain Boys and “Blue Grass Favorites” by The Scottsville Squirrel Barkers, with one track added.

In an effort to capitalize on the Bonnie and Clyde fad, the recordings mentioned above were released again on this LP, with one additional cut, “The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde” by unknown musicians, this time as Custom CS 1109, titled “The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde” by Ray Waters who was, by all reports, a fictional artist.

To add to the mystique surrounding this particular release, there also is an exact duplicate with the same cover shot, same number, same title and same song list on the cover but on the labels of the LP, the artist is listed as Ray Waters And His Orchestra and other than “The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde”, the song titles are different and include such chestnuts as “Shine On Harvest Moon”, “In the Good Old Summertime”, “Bill Bailey”, and more.

But the story doesn’t end here. To add to the confusion, there also is a second duplicate with the same cover shot, same number, same title but other song list on the cover and on the LP labels, although as for the previous LP, the artist is listed as Ray Waters And His Orchestra and other than “The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde”, the song titles are different and include such chestnuts as “Shine On Harvest Moon”, “In the Good Old Summertime”, “Bill Bailey”, and more, which are, this time, correctly listed on the front cover.

Still there?

Track 1:

“Ray Waters”

All Other Tracks:

Chris Hillman – Mandolin
Kenny Wertz – Banjo
Larry Murray – Guitar, Dobro
Gary Carr – Guitar
Ed Douglas – Double Bass

1. The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde (2:02)
2. Shady Grove (1:13)
3. Katie Klyne (1:53)
4. Home Sweet Home (1:47)

1-6 1968/9 recordings for Ranwood label

As Brett Alan pointed out a couple of days ago JB was signed up to Apple Records but before anything could happen Apple basically collapsed. There seems to be no evidence that JB had started recording his album before the collapse. He had booked time in an LA studio and was about to begin the sessions.

@Robert - thanks for the Time Machine!

There's a good chance that, somewhere in the history of the Completely Different entries, someone has posted The Minx Original Soundtrack by The Cyrkle, but I just discovered it and found it to be incredibly groovy. I had to make sure it was that Cyrkle! I guess I never paid much attention to them after "Red Rubber Ball," and that was a Paul Simon song.
