The Stone Tape - Analysing A Ghost By Electric Means (V/A alternative soundtrack for Nigel Kneale's classic TV play, appropriately released on cassette)
The Stone Tape (BBC radio adaptation by Peter Strickland - the above prompted me to give this a second listen. Interesting re-interpration and a good choice for sound-fetishist Strickland)
Plus - the new Beatles song. Unlike Fitter Stoke above, this does feel like a Beatles song to me. Apparently the tape was labelled 'For Paul' so it seems John intended it as such. Incidentally that George Harrison slide guitar solo is actually played by Paul, I suppose as it is what George would have done. As far as I can tell Harrison's main contribution is strummed acoustic guitar. Anyway, I think they've done a lovely job with the arrangement, although the vocals sound a bit flat. They should have probably been spread out a bit more in the mix.
