It’s 33 “baby”s in 40 seconds. I obviously didn’t put every “baby” Mick has ever said, but press play and deal with it.

Love/Arthur Lee/Baby Lemonade – ”Feathered Fish”

I love how the guitar solo gets punched out in the mix. Actually, I love just about everything about this recording.

Information on it is scarce, conflicting and mostly officially disavowed. Best guess is that this was a song written by Arthur Lee for Love, which he instead gave to Sons Of Adam, which had the effect of causing Sons Of Adam drummer Michael Stuart to defect to the Love camp shortly thereafter. Then nearly twenty years pass. In 1994 Lee records the above version with Baby Lemonade, who were Love whenever Lee wasn’t doing some hurt piece for the State of California. It’s put on on a 7” in 1996 by Italian bootleg label LSD Records as compensation owed the label by Lee for a previous project. Later, the track surfaced on the comprehensive boot “Black Beauty & Rarities.”

For those wondering about the other tracks on the 7”, “It’s The Marlin, Baby” was a 1964 track from Lee’s then group, The American Four, and “Gethsemene” is a short remix of Love’s “The Red Telephone” mostly played backwards.
