thread_title:  2008 review

message: I'd like to respectfully challenge the assertion that Song Cycle was one of the most expensive albums ever made. In light of my recent research on Warner Bros Records, frankly I find this rather unbelievable. Sure it did cost a lot compared to most pop albums of the time, and the 'Q' list  does cite it as one of the five most expensive albums ever made, but there is no reference to support that listing and I would strongly dispute it. 
According to the infamous 1967 Warner advertisment, Song Cycle cost around $US35,000, which is a considerable sum; however I would suggest that there are many other contemporary recordings that cost at least as much if not more. 
For example: although it's not an album of course, numerous references say that The Beach Boys' single "Good Vibrations" alone cost about US$50,000 -- i.e. nearly twice of the cost of the entire Song Cycle album on one song. The figures vary somewhat but it is reputed that the albums Anthem of the Sun (1968) and Aoxomoxoa (1969) by The Grateful Dead each cost far more than Song Cycle - e.g there are citations in Fred Goodman's Mansion on the Hill, among other references, that put the cost of  these albums at US$100,000 or more -- each! 
I will undertake some more research and if I can find solid evidence to back my view, I will post it here and eventually remove that claim, if there are no objections.

replies: text: I just read Peter Ames Carlin's 2021 book Sonic Boom, a history of Warner Brothers and Reprise Records up till the resignation of Mo Ostin at the end of 1994. The $35,000 figure mentioned in the ad was not the cost of the record, but the net loss. The cost was stated in that same ad to be $48,302. In Carlin's book, it says that figure was fudged - the album actually cost between $75,000 and $85,000, making it the most expensive album in Warner Brothers history up to that time. He doesn't state who told him that figure. It may be mentioned in Stan Cornyn's 2002 book Exploding - Cornyn was the writer of the ad. PatConolly (talk) 04:18, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

:A jazz standard, "Song for My Father" is here in its original form. It is a Bossa Nova in F-minor with an AAB head. On the head, a trumpet and tenor saxophone play in harmony. The song has had a noticeable impact in pop music. The opening bass piano notes were borrowed by Steely Dan for their song "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", while the opening horn riff was borrowed by Stevie Wonder for his song "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing". Earth Wind & Fire also borrowed the opening bass notes for their song Clover.

The track listing section was tricky to place so if anyone has any ideas about how well it fits now, or where it would better be suited please go for it. I'd still like to embed some audio files but can't seem to locate any via wiki commons, although I noted that Jeff Buckley's Wikipedia page does actually have excerpts for both 'Grace' and 'Mojo Pin' - I think this would really take this article up a level.
