Re: finished vs. unfinished. Imo this is a done song however it's from a demo session so who knows if Skip was going to do more work on it. From Wikipedia:
"According to Spence himself, the Nashville sessions were intended by him to only be a demo, which he gave to Rubinson with the intent that the songs would be fleshed out with full production for the actual album. Instead Rubinson had the demo recordings released by Columbia."
I was asking about "She Can Really Do the Brontosaurus", by the Move. It sounded like someone pulled tail on a one five-five howitzer and I'm back! God, I hate Americans! (or is it the French?)
Skip Spence? I haven't heard this gy play since he was with Jefferson Airplane. When was that, 1969-1970? Sounds like he's got Jorma on guitar. This is quality vintage (as opposed to vintage quality)!
@caseyjoanz Haven't heard of him since he was in Jefferson Airplane?! Man that was 1966 on their first album! Are you telling me you didn't know he became part of one of the most rocking bands out of the entire San Francisco rock scene....MOBY GRAPE?!
How could somebody say that this sounds like an "unfinished idea"? Simplicity doesn't equal "unfinished." It's beautiful as is. It says everything in a few words, a few notes. I hate when people try to act as if they could come up with something better.
needs a Skrillex remix

Spence Dryden? Damn!! I haven't heard of this guy since he was with Hot Tuna - sometime around 1970.
Seems like I been down this road before (could there be any truth in that, Señor?)

With all due respect, it only sounds unfinished if you're not really hearing it, or if you've never had these feelings. This is whole and perfect.
