I think I might have asked you before, but I had been drinking.

hmmm... either "Hook Or Crook" or "Hey! Little Child!"
Although..... my favorite "lost-era" Chilton stuff is some tapes that only circulated on some boots from some abandoned sessions. Let me try to find the tracklists.

from the "alex chilton: s/d" thread (posted almost 2 years ago!):
i think that like flies on sherbert is excellent for a goofy, sloppy drug addled studio record... there is a great tale around memphis of one of the guitar solos being performed with a young lady in his lap.
there is little to be gleaned from the live in london set aside from a mere curio stance.
search: the big star boot entitle Beale Street Green which features some great "Lost-Era" Alex doing some very rad demos:
"she might look my way"
"windows hotel"
"can't seem to make you mine" (seeds)
"shaking the world"
"all the time"
but then the greatest song ever written:
"tennis bum"... as alex mentions it's like wooly bully, all strat reverb and the goofiest lyrics you've never heard. i am in love with the lost era chilton voice, it's perfect.
classic classic classic.

I like "Hey! Little Child!" and "No More The Moon Shines On Lorena".

Hook Or Crook is great though, don't deny that, adamrl. Also Boogie Shoes is pretty sleazy...

damn right... just heard this again. i think this is the song where he does the guitar solo with the half-naked girl in his lap on a couch in the studio. how many drugs?
