Not sure if this was a good idea  ::). My favorite album from my favorite band & I've never attempted anything like this before. I had a five page chart spread out around me in the car, learned/rehearsed for about a half an hour and got 2 takes, this being the better. However I really undershot & flubbed the last note and was really upset, I didn't want to have to play it again! After a dive home from my afternoon gig I just did a take of the last note on another stereo track & mixed the bad one out/ good one in. So...not quite an LITLR (all but the last note!)

Get 'Em Out By Friday
written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford
performed by Hook

Definitely one of my favorite Genesis albums too.

As has been said, no one could do this but you and you did it with ease.  And in only two takes?  Wowser.  Just brill.

I like the stereo ending, too.  Adds something.

Let me get this right.  You recorded this in a couple of takes?  In a car?

I am in awe.

This is absolutely marvelous.

I love the scatted organ runs. I dug this a lot. Does your uke have a Mellotron setting?

I just saw The Musical Box cover this album a a month or two back.  If you ever get an opportunity to see them, it is more than worth it.
