The version of "Fun" included on the Quintet box (Mosaic MQ10-177, Columbia C6K
67398) is slightly different from the original issued on Directions
(Columbia KC2 36474, released 1981). The original version replaces an eight-measure
piece at the end of Shorter's tenor saxophone solo (2:44-2:56) with an excerpt of the opening
theme (0:16-0:28); in the newer version Shorter's solo is intact. The issued "Fun"
is a composite:
| 0:00-2:43
|
Take 28, 0:00-2:43
|
| 2:43-2:55
|
Take 16, 0:41-0:53
|
| 2:55-3:19
|
Take 28, 2:54-3:19
|
| 3:19-4:04
|
Take 30, 0:16-1:01
|
"Fun" proved to be a very difficult tune. The day before this session, this group
devoted more than an hour to it, and all 38 takes were rejected. At this session
almost 45 minutes of recording yielded only one complete take, only parts of which
were used to compile the issued take.
Joe Beck is wrongly listed on guitar on Columbia KC2 36474 and equivalents. Hancock
plays RMI Electra Piano, not electric harpsichord as stated in the Mosaic notes.
Thanks to Frederik Adlers for help identifying the keyboards. And thanks to Luciano
Alderigi for additional help with this session.
