Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra

The Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra was made in the first times of Immediate Information, Andrew Loog Oldham’s upstart 1960s independent label. Confronted with a dependence on publicity rather than however having any performers capable of producing a mass media splash independently, Oldham made a decision to make use of what he do have: quick access to the Moving Rocks’ songbag, through his administration of the group, along with a favour or two that he could contact through the quintet. The Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra, which got previously cut some modestly effective instrumental variations of pop strikes, was rechristened the Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra and Keith Richards was announced as directing the orchestra. Actually, Richards’ participation most likely went no more than getting present on the press event announcing the task. If there have been any particular pop/rock and roll personalities or tasks that influenced the brand new task, they were most likely Joshua Rifkin and his Baroque Beatles Reserve album and, perhaps, the Jan & Dean Pop Symphony No. 1 record. The theory was to create publicity for the brand new label, that your record did, and perhaps some product sales and income, which it didn’t. The Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra went of existence when its only album premiered, the last mentioned sank with hardly a track and was a 500 money collector’s item with the past due ’80s. It started turning up on Compact disc in the first ’90s as a bit of Rolling Stones-related ersatz.
