19 Aug 21 - 03:34 PM (#4117120) Subject: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,PyschedUpStolas I've got a song of obscure origins that I figured someone here might recognize. The title and artist are unknown. Currently, it is referred to as the "The Fishes" (based on an early mishearing) or "Take Me Home" as working titles. The song was taped off of Chicago radio in the 70s. There's a bit of organ at the end which is Rare Bird - Bird on a Wing and not related to this song. This song was misidentified as Keith James - Take Me Home. This results in a bunch of websites with it mislabeled. I get a little bit of a Strawbs vibe from it, and have been trudging through the Acid Archives for it, but haven't had any luck. The current interpretation of the lyrics is below: As I came onto the village square I saw a lady standing there I can take you to a tavern if you drive And she thanked me with a twinkle in her eye Tavern master saw that I was fit to crash My guitar was strapped within my shoulder bag I can earn my keep for meal and a bed Tellin’ tales of all the villages I’ve passed Playin’ my song was much to my surprise Sufficient in the tavern keeper's eyes Listen to me sing the days of long ago And the lady wants to take me to her home Take me home (take me home) Take me home On my way On my way |
20 Aug 21 - 06:30 AM (#4117176) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen I see why you are getting the Strawbs vibe, but it doesn't sound like them to me. The style of the song and the singing, the electric guitar and the electric piano sounds vaguely familiar to me, but I have never heard that song before. |

20 Aug 21 - 08:48 AM (#4117195) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST Sounds a bit like one of the lesser known "psychedelic" groups of the late '60's perhaps Clear Light or Strawberry Alarm clock ?? |
20 Aug 21 - 09:29 AM (#4117199) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,PyschedUpStolas @Guest If it was on a major label like Strawberry Alarm Clock, I think someone would have identified it. However, I also went through the Acid Archives, a reference book for underground pysch and rock, and found nothing which seemed to fit. There's another reference book to Private Press, Enjoy the Experience, which may have it but is several hundred dollars to acquire. I think we are looking at an incredibly obscure track. |
20 Aug 21 - 10:12 AM (#4117201) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: punkfolkrocker Google music recognition app failed to identify it. It is usually quite reliable. So this gem seems to be a really obscure track as far as online data bases are concerned... Perhaps other similar apps might recognise it...??? It sounds too polished for a demo, - maybe a well recorded extremely rare private pressing..??? Or could be one of the myriad of shelved and forgotten undocumented fully mastered out-take tracks denied release by philistine record lable managers...????? btw..Thumbs up for even a micro second fragment of a Rare Bird track, one of the best bands ever imho... |

The subjects of Enjoy The Experience range from Lesbian Folk singers to Psychedelic Disco bands; Awkward Teen Pop combos to Pizza Parlor Organists; Religious Cult Leaders to Swank Sinatra Imitators. But this is not a novelty freak show: also profiled and discussed are some of the most highly regarded rock, soul, jazz, funk and singer/songwriter albums from the latter half of the twentieth century. From the awkward-yet-talented to the genius-yet-bizarre, one thing unites all musicians presented here: they sincerely hoped to become stars, they committed themselves to record, and they left themselves vulnerable to an industry not understanding of nuance, not appreciative of character"--Publisher's website.

20 Aug 21 - 11:48 AM (#4117213) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor Some further context might be of value: The OP mentioned that this song was on his old high school tape from the 70s and likely recorded off WBBM-FM or XRT. Another user also recommended looking into WXFM (Triad Radio), as that is the station that would have played "Rare Bird" back in those days. Though, the archivist for the station was contacted but said he has no recollection of ever playing this song on Triad, nor does he believe it came from that station. |
20 Aug 21 - 11:58 AM (#4117217) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor Correction: Not all of them, but most came from his old high school tapes form the 70s. You can read the message here - https://prnt.sc/1qd8l21 |
20 Aug 21 - 01:35 PM (#4117238) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# GUEST,LM-Harbor, I was looking into the radio station angle yesterday and came up with nothing. However, the chances of locating a playlist from an unknown 'exact date' (or exact title) sometime in the 1970s doesn't look too promising. I also tried various lyric searches, figuring the song may have been copyrighted, but no happiness there, either. This seems to be one serious stumper. |
20 Aug 21 - 02:20 PM (#4117244) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor GUEST,# Yes, you are right. The most frustrating part is that, logically, you'd think the title of the song would be very apparent and something that's stressed in the lyrics, such as "Take Me Home", "On My Way", "The Tale Of..." - Heck, with the number of times the word "Tavern" is repeated in the song, I'd be pretty surprised if that word is not referenced in the title - but nothing ever comes up. Discogs hasn't been of much help, either. However, we are persistently searching for the song on it. Finding this one is going to be quite a difficult task. |
20 Aug 21 - 02:53 PM (#4117246) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen Yes Maggie, I suffer from the same affliction: "I don't have a dog in this fight, I just enjoy looking for obscure or hard-to-find documents and books. You can retire from the library but all of those habits go with you when you leave the building." Listening to the song, the singer doesn't appear to have a strong American accent to me, although the word "master" is pronounced "masster" and not "marster". Some UK accents use that pronunciation though, and the words "tavern" and "village" give a UK influence to the song. The original post on this thread mentions The Strawbs who were a UK band - I have had one of their albums since the mid-'70's and then upgraded to CD about 20 years ago - and a Guest 20 Aug 21 - 08:48 AM mentioned Strawberry Alarm Clock who were a US band. I remember their song Incense and Peppermints but the names of the rest of their songs are not familiar to me. The two bands have different musical styles, I'm thinking, and I admit I only have one album of The Strawbs but I see very little similarity to the mystery song. It would probably help to narrow down the likely year or years that the song was originally heard instead of just saying that it was sometime in the '70's. |
20 Aug 21 - 02:55 PM (#4117247) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# I hear you on that. About the only thing we know for sure is that the play-time of the song is smack on three minutes give or take a second. |
20 Aug 21 - 03:10 PM (#4117250) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen I'm wondering whether it was a very early song from an artist or band who/which became better known later, and maybe developed a more distinctive and therefore more identifiable sound or style. If that is the case it would explain why the musical style sounds vaguely familiar to me. I have to say that personally I find the lyrics of this song not "memorable" - to put it diplomatically. LOL |
20 Aug 21 - 04:07 PM (#4117254) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Stilly River Sage Three minutes play time is exactly what the radio stations wanted, so a huge majority of songs produced at that time would be 3 minutes. It means this isn't a great filtering tool in the search, it just lets you eliminate the few longer songs. |

20 Aug 21 - 04:47 PM (#4117263) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST Helen Yes, but not only me.

We've been gradually adding ruled-out songs to the spreadsheets for over a few months now. |
20 Aug 21 - 04:58 PM (#4117266) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen Ok, yes, but still impressive. And spreadsheets! My favourite data tool of all time. LOL I'm still leaning more towards trying to match up the musical style of the song to performers or bands, or the style of the lyrics to other songs of that era. And this reference to high school in the '70's - can we narrow that down? It's likely to be mid to late high school, so what years were they? |
20 Aug 21 - 05:06 PM (#4117269) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST I think early to mid-70s. I'm not certain, though. Will update you back ASAP |

20 Aug 21 - 05:37 PM (#4117279) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# I think the words will not be how we find the song. That's been done by many others for about 4 or 5 months now. SRS and Helen: Do either of you librarians have any way to search the human voice within recordings? Specifically, I'm wondering about the voices starting at 1:12 of the link in the OP. Also, though likely unrelated, the word crash as a euphemism for sleep was in common usage in NYC in 1964/5. Also, "I can earn my keep for meal and a bed" is a strange way to phrase it, making me suspect that the singer isn't also the writer. However, I've been wrong before. ;-) |

20 Aug 21 - 06:42 PM (#4117286) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen The mystery song, from about 1:12 on the track as suggested above, goes into some interesting and clever musical bits. I keep thinking of the band Yes, with the keyboard and the style of their music and the excellent guitar work and the harmonies used by the singers. I haven't heard any of the Yes albums for decades but they were impressively clever musicians. Although, their lyrics were a bit more in-depth than the mystery song's lyrics. I just asked Hubby to listen to the song because he knows a lot of music and bands. Also he said the app Spotify on a mobile phone can do tune recognition. You can hold your phone close to the tune being played and it recognises similar tunes. That would rely on the tune being well enough known to be in the main tune databases of course. |
20 Aug 21 - 07:13 PM (#4117287) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# Super, Helen. In the event there is a Yes connection, the following link goes to 200 of their songs.

20 Aug 21 - 08:12 PM (#4117291) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen You can limit the search to the early '70's and before. I don't necessarily think that it is a Yes song. It just reminds me of their style. If Yes does happen to be the correct group it would be before they went to the all-out, OTT (over the top), full-on production numbers. |
20 Aug 21 - 08:22 PM (#4117293) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,PyshcedOutStolas @Helen Don't Yes and Strawbs share members? I assumed it's neither though because it would have been dug up by now (it reminds quite a bit of something off of Witchwood). It may have originated from a prog band though. Some prog songs could easily be tagged folk if heard out of context. It also reminds me quite a bit of a demo of Fresh Maggots I have about. |

Many are anonymous discs with scant details handwritten or rubber stamped on the lables.. There's big money to be made on ebay if they can be linked to celebrity names who were pre-'fame' young jobbing session players / singers to earn extra money... There was a pool of fairly well known musicians who had a side line income churning out genre music for film and TV media library companies.. "Right then lads, you are booked in the studio for half an hour this afternoon to record a 3 minute folk sounding track, like that rubbish those hairy smelly students like to listen to. Just don't make it to close to a record we can get sued for. You can make up the words and music in the pub this lunchtime.

21 Aug 21 - 12:24 AM (#4117308) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# PS Note that the one we've been listening to is 3:00 minutes long. When it's slowed down and then lasts about 3:30, it definitely changes the search parameters, because we're now looking for a duet from probably the UK. If some of the Brits get on this, perhaps either they'll know the singers or maybe where they're from based on their accents. ?? |
21 Aug 21 - 12:59 AM (#4117309) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor GUEST,# A few things to note - I would not rely on 3:05 being the actual length of the song. For one, we are missing the INTRO to the track. Notice how abruptly and somewhat "aggressively" the singing starts? I think we are missing a maximum of 10-15 seconds of the song in the beginning.

21 Aug 21 - 09:50 AM (#4117351) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,# Something just doesn't add up. Listen to both the 3:00 take and the 3:30 take. If one is a sped-up version of the other, then how can they both be in the same key? For example, play any 45 rpm at 45 rpm speed, then play the same 45 at 78 rpm. The key will be higher in the second one. So why doesn't that hold true in this case? |

21 Aug 21 - 10:05 AM (#4117355) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: punkfolkrocker By the 3.30 track, are you talking about the recently recorded tribute rerecording.. The longer track is a very good new cover version... On a similar note, I've found an unidentified performance on one of my sister's old knackered audio cassettes from the 80s.. It sounds like a local children's piano grade competition.. There's a weird eerie sounding part which I'm definitely going to sample into a loop... |
21 Aug 21 - 10:07 AM (#4117356) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST GUEST,# I'm a bit confused. Why are you taking someone's cover of the song into account? That's not the sped-up version of our mystery song. That's someone's cover of the song with an extended INTRO as a bonus. |

21 Aug 21 - 10:35 AM (#4117362) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor No worries. It's fine. Yeah, it is an excellent cover of the song, but ultimately, it is just that: a modern cover. Although, as I mentioned before, there is a chance that we are missing the intro to the song, as I think it is unlikely the song would start with such abrupt singing. |

21 Aug 21 - 03:01 PM (#4117385) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen On the reddit page which Guest linked to on 21 Aug 21 - 01:15 AM, one of the people mentioned was Tommy Shaw who was in the band Styx. I listened to Boat on the River (BOTR) which was released in 1979 and TS wrote the song and also was the vocalist. The singer's voice and the musical style and arrangement seem to have similarities to the mystery song, although the most prominent instrument in BOTR is the mandolin and not guitar and piano. The lyrics are simple and uncomplicated, very much like the lyrics of the mystery song. I would say the same of the base melodies of each song. It's the arrangements and style which makes both songs more interesting, IMHO. Styx were from Chicago. Tommy Shaw joined the band in 1976. The song BOTR was a bit more laid-back than some of their other songs. I never bought any of their albums, but that song always stops me in my tracks whenever I hear it. My theory is, that *if* the mystery song was written and performed by Tommy Shaw then it has a high probability that it was a demo tape created by him in the early to mid '70's before he joined Styx which would explain why it is not showing up on searches for tracks on albums. According to Wiki he is still alive and kicking. Can anyone contact him and ask him? Also, thanks LM-Harbor for the list of other songs on the cassette. And I think that the cover version doesn't help, IMHO, in trying to identify the original version because I am sticking to my earlier assertion that the vocal and musical qualities and style of the track is more useful for pinning down the identity of the performer/s. |
21 Aug 21 - 03:35 PM (#4117389) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,LM-Harbor Helen, Could this be it? A garage pop band, featuring a very young Tommy Shaw. They only released one single. Track B is called "Coming Home". I cannot find any audio of the single on the Internet, so we will, unfortunately, have to resort to contacting those who do have it, which may or may not always work. https://www.discogs.com/artist/5684340-The-Vagabonds-14 |

It's no Watersons nor Copper Family, and I think at times it sounds distinctly American, but it may not be. I also tend to think the British band Writing on the Wall sounds American. It reminds me both of West Coast American folk ala CSNY and of English folk |

22 Jan 22 - 05:11 PM (#4133332) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen As an ex-librarian and an ex-teacher, it is a strong ethical, professional principle to not do other people's homework for them. If you want to know the answer, ask him yourself. If not, don't ask other people to do your homework for you, please. And don't keep skirting around a possible answer. Either it is or it isn't Tommy Shaw. Ask him yourself. I gave you his website link on Date: 22 Aug 21 - 03:54 PM. I am beginning to suspect that maybe getting the answer is a secondary consideration. What the primary consideration is, I'm not sure. Maybe making money from hits on a YouTube video? The longer the mystery remains, the more the question can be asked and the more people view the video??? Tell me I'm wrong. I'll be happy to be told I'm wrong if that's not the case.

24 Jan 22 - 08:02 AM (#4133578) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,Spleencringe When I played it to some friends who are big psych-folk heads, they really liked it but were not entirely convinced about the date - this was especially because of the synth-y stuff happening. How clear are you about the provenance of the tape? Do you know the person it came from well enough to be sure it was a genuine 1970s radio recording rather than something mocked up to sound like one? One of the suggestions, if it is a later recording mocked up to sound older, is that it might be something to do with the mysterious Robyn Nice, the anonymous Chicago based loner folk artist who,since the late 90s, has released multiple recordings under a series of pseudonyms, with them often coming to light via unconventional routes.

24 Jan 22 - 12:50 PM (#4133631) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen GUEST,Spleencringe, that's an interesting theory. Just to be clear, are you listening to what is supposed to be the original recording from the radio station some time in the 70's from the link in the first post of this thread, GUEST,PyschedUpStolas - PM Date: 19 Aug 21 - 03:34 PM or a later link to a recently created electronic version of it which was posted further into this thread? (The electronic version served no purpose that I could understand. It was just confusing the issue, in my opinion.) |
24 Jan 22 - 03:19 PM (#4133666) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,Spleencringe Hi Helen,yes we listened to the version purporting to be from a 70s tape. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's a (fairly benign) hoax. Although not necessarily by the OP and their friends. |
24 Jan 22 - 03:23 PM (#4133668) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen I don't know Spleencringe, I think this whole thread makes me suspicious. I also have suspicions that the supposed two Guests who started the thread are possibly one and the same person. |
24 Jan 22 - 03:34 PM (#4133669) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,Spleencringe I did a similar thing myself 10 years ago when I had a label. We released an album (on 1st April, naturally) that claimed to be a long lost recording of a band associated with a Christian hippy commune from the early 70s. It was actually written & recorded by Bristol songwriter James McKeown. Of course, we left enough clues to indicate we were not entirely serious... Frugal Puritan |
24 Jan 22 - 03:47 PM (#4133672) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen No one believes anything which appears on April Fool's Day - or do they? LOL My suspicions on this thread began when the electronic version of the mystery song recording was revealed and also when I read the related Reddit thread where Tommy Shaw's name was first proposed. In the Reddit thread and this thread the two Guests - or maybe one Guest/two names - have sidestepped contacting Tommy Shaw to confirm or deny that the recording could be his. The two/or maybe one Guest(s) repeatedly played a little sidestepping manoeuvre between themselves to divert attention from actually contacting Tommy Shaw. That's when I started to think that there is something in it for the Guest(s) to keep the mystery going for as long as possible on as many platforms as possible. That's why I suspect the YouTube videos may be a money spinning project. Or maybe it feeds a desire for attention. Who knows? |
31 Jan 22 - 04:09 PM (#4134617) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,Tambourine Helen, sorry but that 'guest' argument doesn't make sense... not everybody knows how to use this site properly. Besides that, that YouTube video that you think is 'spinning money' belongs to a member of the Discord server who has no affiliation with the song, and only uploaded the song to YouTube since the original uploader never put it on there. The OP had a bunch of mystery songs before (some of which were sought-after for years), and there were plenty of people who doubted the authenticity of the recording... until years later when they were finally identified as authentic 60s-70s songs with very little online following (hence the obscurity). Also, nobody said the song couldn't belong to Tommy Shaws. They just ruled out the "Coming Home" single... because he was literally 14 years old at the time of releasing it. |
31 Jan 22 - 04:30 PM (#4134621) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,PyschedOutStolas I shared this here first. I've posted here before as a guest and accidently shifed my name from pyschedout to pyschedup at some point. I've floated around this forum for years. I asked about the song Doodely Doo by Eddie Cantor and how it shares the same verses as a camp song. This song was on a tape with several other obscure songs. We identified the rest. The cover you found is by a user of the server than looks for these songs we have recordings of but no info on. Several other posted songs on that channel are similarly covers of these mystery songs. |
31 Jan 22 - 05:06 PM (#4134632) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: Helen 14 years old doesn't preclude the possibility of recording the song on a home multi-track tape recorder. So you still haven't actually contacted Tommy Shaw personally to rule him out? |
31 Jan 22 - 07:59 PM (#4134662) Subject: RE: Origins: Mystery Song Recording, Sixties or 70s From: GUEST,PyschedOutStolas I think it's incredibly unlikely a Tommy Shaw demo would get played on airwaves in the 70s and then fade completely off the face of the earth as most of this type of stuff gets rerelease as bonus tracks these days. Also here is that Tommy Shaw track played years later but clearly not the same song https://youtu.be/NbqXw9aloao |

I contacted to contributors to the Acid Archives (for example) which covered private press between 1959-198x and they did not recognize it but were interested should we ever source the track. My thoughts are to whether this was on a very rare distribution, be it a promo/demo only or on something like a basement label. There was one called Golden Throats (irc) in Chicago but found no evidence of it there. |
