from the sublime to the fluffy…

 

Title: Baa-Baa Black Sheep

“Performed” by “the Singing Sheep”

Record label: Virgin Records

Catalogue Number: BAA 1

category: What the…?

Entered the Singles Chart: 11/3/83, Highest Position: 60, Weeks in Chart: 8

Side 1: Baa-Baa Black Sheep

Side 2: Flock Around the Clock

Credits: Produced by Jeff Mutton.  Special Thanks to Clare Hoare, the Ingworth and Blickling Flock at Ingworth, Aylsham, Norfolk.  Engineered by Andy Wild.

One of the weirdest recordings to be ever released by Virgin records.  Using a synth and samples of sheep bleating, cows mooing and any other animal sound that could be captured, turning a nursery rhyme favourite into a “stars on 45-esque” ripoff.

incidentally, side 2 was an alternate arrangement of the Baa-Baa rhyme.

Strangely enough, this recording would spawn a canine version, barking out howling mad versions of some Beatles hits.  Info on this LP will be coming out later on in the year.
