Flaming Pie 6 track Sampler

Post by Maccawings »

Hey Gang,

Looking to see if anyone may have the very rare Flaming Pie 6 track Sampler to share. The 3 track is circulating but the 6 track has remained elusive. The jewel on this sampler is "Beautiful Night" prior to the orchestra over dubs. Know it's a long shot but if it were anywhere, I figured here might have a decent chance

I have heard that one and it is not pre-overdubs; the strings, horns and choir are definitely present, but mixed waaay back.

Hey Dave,
According to Chip Madinger's book (EIght Arms To Hold You) "A rough mix (A5) which features the backing prior to the orchestral overdubs was included on the Capitol "executive" tape and has not been bootlegged to date. I hear Chip has this nugget but is keeping it to himself

That would be impossible as the cassette was distributed prior to the recording of the orchestral overdubs on February 14, 1997.

Someone's info is off. Is there another 6-track Flaming Pie Sampler cassette?

I checked my notes. The orchestral overdubs were done at Abbey Road on Feb 14, 1997 according to the Paul McCartney Project; The label on the dub of the 6-song cassette I heard indicated it was copied in real time on a chrome cassette with Dolby B by Tracey Jackson at Abbey Road on March 24, 1997. Not sure how that's impossible unless one of these dates is off.
