    Elefant

    It seems to be a Swiss "C 5/6" called "Elefant". It was usually used for the Gotthard route. Swiss Railway changed very early (in the 50ies) to electrical engines, because Switzerland has no coal resources. My father was SBB engine driver and had to move this "Elefant" and the electrical "Krokodil". You see, in Switzerland those huge engines had names of wild and furious animals. We also had "Tigerli" and "Habersack" (the smaller ones).

    The SBB electric locos of classes Ce6/8 II and Ce6/8 III are common to me as »Krokodil« (= crocodile), due to their 3-parted, articulated frames that make them look like crocodiles when travelling through narrow S-shaped curves.

    Due to the slanted side walls, the steam loco driver's cab on that sleeve recall standardized German ones that were built from 1925 to 1945 (»Einheitslokomotiven«), maybe even a 5/6 (or 2-10 in US) of classes 44 or 50. Didn't the C5/6 have straight sides?

    Best regards!

    Rod Stewart, Mine For Me, 1974 from LP "Smiler", Mercury Super De Luxe, England

    "It was just the result of another drunken night, i suppose. It's nice to write for someone like Rod, because he's got such a distinctive voice." (cit: Paul McCartney 1974) Backing vocals by Paul. A little gem.

    "No regrets", Let it be

    Aretha was first. Paul sent a demo to Jerry Wexler in 1969. The Beatles released it 3 months after the release of Aretha Franklin's LP "This girls in love with you". For months, Franklin’s recording remained obscure. Then the Beatles decided to put out their own version of the song. The Fab Four sent Wexler and Franklin a “legal notice” barring them from releasing Franklin’s track as a single. Franklin never expressed any remorse for refusing to release “Let It Be” as a single while she could. Wexler said, this “no regrets” attitude was characteristic of her.

    Just today, after 50 years: release of one of the most famous songs in music history. Built for eternity!

    Mike McGear, Same, 1974, WB Germany, WB 56 051

    Some bread crumbs for his brother Mike McGear . As member of Merseyside comedian pop group "The Scaffold" ("Lily the pink") he abandoned his real name in favour of his famous Beatle-brother. Purpose? Effect on his career? As kind of redemption Paul, Linda (here solidly united as "McGear") and the Wings produced and played these nice simple songs here. Linda plays the Moog Synthesizer astonishingly well. Outstanding: Brian "Sax" Jones playing superb saxophone tunes. As session musician he once played with Bill Haley and the Comets, The Undertakers and many more. His biography was published in 2018: https://www.briansaxjones.com/
    Astonishing: with every turn of this LP, it gets better! There is plenty of humor in it! Also involved in this totally crazy album was the "Gysmorchestra" (invented by Lol Cream and Kevin Godley, 10cc) as credited in the liner notes. Hey, this one was totally underrated in 1974!
    Listen to the beautiful tune "The man who found god on the Moon" B5 with credits for "Buzz Aldrin on Moon"!

    Ringo Starr, Private Property, 1981

    Paul McCartney gave this one away to Ringo for his LP "Stop and smell the roses". Bouncy and catchy. Paul played piano and bass.

    Ringo Starr, Good Night Vienna, 1974

    From John to Ringo for 1974 LP "Good Night Vienna". Trashy, energetic march song. High level of fun and alcohol in the studio. Full of ironic self-importance and self-mocking bombast. John Lennon: "OK, with gusto... boys, with gusto..." (Reprise B6)

    Ringo Starr, Attention, 1981

    From Paul to Ringo's "Stop and smell the roses" with love in gratitude for his madness-drumming. Delightful early 50ies retro tune. Nice and easy. Paul, bass/piano.

    Cilla Black, Step inside love, 1968, Ariola Germany, 14043 AT

    Credited to Lennon/McCartney. Composed by McCartney. Produced by George Martin. Jazz guitarist Judd Proctor played the guitar. You have to look here, implicitly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGddBXNR3s8

    How would this song have sounded as an official Beatles version? Listen to the McCartney impromptu performance during the White Album sessions in 1968. It was posted in combination with "Los Paranoias" on 1996 LP "Anthology 3": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWStkIuZSSU

    Marvellous! Funny! A lot of humor!
