Left off The "White Album", I first heard it on a bootleg about 25 years ago.

From Anthology 3.

enjoy...

What's the New Mary Jane

[Bluesberry]

Excellent, this song was written just for you to sing Sandy.  It has been waiting around just for this moment.  Sounds great.

[Geir]

WOW .....

Great choice of a song Sandy. And what a FANTASTIC cover !!!!!

Love it, love it love it! On second listen now. Already downloaded and on the way to piepod.

Oh yeah, this one is right up your alley! And I love the delivery, those vox are superb!

I remember the rumor of Syd Barrett participating in this song, and have the alleged bootleg somewhere. The quality was so bad you couldn't tell ass from elbow though.

Anyway, very cool, bro!

Very cool cover, Sandy (this one was on my radar, too). And a mucho psychedlico performance and production!

I first heard this on a Syd bootleg some time back in Nineties...wasn't until a few years later I found out it was a Beatles/Lennon song. I still wonder why they omitted this from the White Album? Someone preferred 'Revolution #9'?  

[Ferryman_1957]

Wow, I never knew anything about this. Great version Sandy and thanks for opening up a chapter of the Beatles I knew nothing about. Never heard the original mind, but this is fantastic!

Cheers,

Nigel

[Gnasty]

I LOVE Mary Jane!! I remember this song as a kid.

Thanks for reminding me and wow this is quite stunning and different if i recall but once again its awesome Grit!!

I like how you layered the vocals!! Beauty cover Grit!!

How you do that end part and percussion?

[Gritter]

Thank you for the comments everyone!

How you do that end part and percussion?

I have a hard shell suitcase full of drum sticks, brushes, wood blocks, mallets, cowbell, claves, shakers, etc...at the end of the song I picked up a handful of the contents and threw it back down in the suitcase.

...percussion throughout is:

one track of maraca in right hand hitting a wood block and the rubber handle of a nylon brush in left hand hitting a cowbell...and one track of egg shakers (one in each hand)...all fed through guitar fx.

CooL n Groovy Gritters! !  I dig all the creative percussion and the way you did the octave double on your vox, very cool sounding and fits great!  trippy ending :~)
