TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Cease To Exist
Sessions began as four separate tracks by each member of the band before being cut into a medley.
This is conceptually and sonically the heaviest track on the album and a fan favourite for over 50 years.
Listen here: thechosenfour.bandcamp.com/track/cease-...
TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Super Dry Dance
What started as a jam morphed into an experimental soundscape with sessions dating back as early as 1971.
Clean, unedited versions are currently only available on bootlegs.
Listen here: thechosenfour.bandcamp.com/track/super-...
TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Winters White
An early version of this track was recorded late in 1973- finished in April '74.
The harpsichord was the only instrument not recorded at Monotoli Studios and was instead recorded at Ninten's home in Podunk.
Listen here: thechosenfour.bandcamp.com/track/winter...
TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Because I Love You
Sessions for this track took place between Feb and Oct 1974.
The brass section was provided by Monotoli Studios featuring two members of The Runaway Five who had previously toured with TC4.
Listen here: thechosenfour.bandcamp.com/track/becaus...
TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Pink Cloud
This track was the first to be recorded for the MOTHER '74 album with sessions dating back to May 1973.
This specific mix (Take 8 & 9) actually features Ana on bass though goes uncredited on the album sleeve.

As for those who have, thank you so much. I never thought I'd ever have to file album sales on my tax forms; it's pretty rock and roll!
Nothing huge planned for 2025, but there'll likely be some more music in your ears at some point...
Thank you to all who supported the album, we've currently passed 7000 listens which is insane!
For those who haven't yet bought the album, you're missing out on:
1) A secret bonus track at the end of the record.
2) High quality scans of the full album art and gatefold.
