Best of the Best – “Classic”

Hi! Waiting for TuneCore to finish distribution of realPfft’s latest hit song, I continue to curate their back catalog. My blog gives me daily reports on which music files you readers are downloading and what countries you come from. This allows me to direct your attention to sometimes forgotten gems. I woke up this morning and thought, “Classic! That’s a great instrumental. Why aren’t I showcasing it?”  

Taking his inspiration from Mason Williams’ April 1968 hit “Classical Gas,” Mutte has created his own symphonic pop masterpiece. It’s a classic.

In 1967, the same Mason Williams created an art installation titled “Bus.” A life-size color photograph of a Greyhound bus in 1:1 scale, this unusually large poster mural measures 10 feet by 36 feet.

In celebration of Williams’ artwork, Kuny— who does realPfft’s cover art— designed, photographed and labeled his “Classic” box. Dimensions: 4 inches in height by 5 ½ inches wide by 3 ½ inches deep. Kinda puny, no? Signed prints are available.

Classic

Taking his inspiration from Mason Williams’ April 1968 hit song “Classical Gas,” Mutte Fjutt in the Swedish rap duo realPfft has created his own symphonic pop instrumental. It’s a classic.

In 1967, the same Mason Williams created an art installation titled “Bus.” A life-size color photograph of a Greyhound bus in 1:1 scale, this unusually large poster mural measures 10 feet by 36 feet. It consists of 16 sheets of silkscreened billboard paper which three people taped together using double-sided Scotch tape. Williams said it took nine man-hours to tape together each copy. Produced in a numbered, limited edition of 200, each one sold in a specially designed and printed cardboard box.

In celebration of Williams’ concrete art, Kuny, who does realPfft’s cover art, designed, photographed and labeled his “Classic” box, as seen above. Dimensions: 4 inches in height by 5 ½ inches wide by 3 ½ inches deep. Signed prints are available.
