A TOP SECRET business meeting in an undisclosed location, March 1981

Pizzas eaten: 3
Business discussed: none

"I've enjoyed this. We can't be a band anymore, but we can be a gang."
"So we're not gonna make a new record?"
"Awwww, you had to say it!"
"Somebody had to say it."
"I can't face being a Beatle."
"Me neither."
"I enjoyed being a Beatle."
"Well, there you go, Richie. You can be The Beatles all by yourself. Motion carried."
"You're all heart, Johnny."
"Actually..."
"The boy McCartney's had an idea. I think I shall depart."
"There have been new albums with the four of us since the split."
"I'm not following you."
"Ringo's albums. We just take that a stage further."
"NO WAY!"
"What? I don't get it. Are we talking about a new Beatles album?...Hang on. No!"
"The scary thing about working together is you have to put that name on it. The Beatles. It raises expectations."
"And I lower them, eh?"
"No, people won't know what to expect. We won't know what to expect! If people say it's not what they wanted from The Beatles, we're in the clear, because it isn't The Beatles."
(There is a long silence)
"We have to try, don't we?"
"One song at a time. If there's a single argument, we stop."
"You had to say it, Rich. You just had to say it, didn't you?"

Great post! Would love to see more Ringo LP's like this!! But does this replace Stop and Smell The Roses in OTL? Would Ringo sing lead vocals on all of these songs ITTL?

Elvis would step back into the studio to re-record Guitar Man alongside Jerry Reed, Felton Jarvis had came up with the idea. Jarvis also had the idea of taking Presley's vocals from a previous song and put it into a newer version. This would inspire a new album.

"Larks' Tongues In Aspic" is the 5th studio album by King Crimson. Robert Fripp and Keith Emerson suggested to the rest of the band that they add some members following the ousting of founding member and lyricist Peter Sinfield due to creative differences, which after some convincing, they agreed to. Jamie Muir was added as a percussionist who added even more syncopation to the group than Carl Palmer was already providing. David Cross also joined the group, replacing Mel Collins who left the group to pursue a career in session work and to play live with Alvin Lee and Eric Clapton among others. The result was the most ambitious Crimson album to date. However, this album would mark a decline in the number of members of Crimson as well, as they would lose three members within two years.

All songs written by King Crimson unless noted:

Side A
1. Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part I

5. Fugue (Emerson)
6. The Endless Enigma (Part 2)
7. From The Beginning (Lake)
8. Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part II (Fripp)
