Next album =Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats? "George and James" is an album by
The Residents , released in1984 . It was subtitled "American Composer Series - Volume 1". The American Composer Series was originally supposed to be an ongoing project lasting from 1984 until 2000 that profiled a number of different artists. The idea was to "make music about music." Ultimately only two full albums surfaced ("Stars and Hank Forever " is the other one), although a few tracks from the planned album profilingSun Ra have surfaced.This particular offer includes a side of reworked
George Gershwin songs, while side two is a note-for-note re-recording of side one James Brown's classic "Live at the Apollo".Unenthusiastic reviews, the transition from vinyl to CD (meaning that the concept of a split album would be spoiled) and re-negotiation of the songwriting fees (making the project financially impossible) scuppered the series.
