''Canned Wheat'' is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band The Guess Who. It peaked at #91 on the ''Billboard'' Pop Albums chart.〔(The Guess Who, ''Canned Wheat'' Chart Position ) Retrieved March 16, 2015〕 Two of the band's hits were taken from the album: "Laughing" and "Undun". The album also includes a version of "No Time" which would later be re-recorded for their ''American Woman'' album and released as a single. The band was sent to record the follow-up to ''Wheatfield Soul'' at RCA Studios in New York City. As per company policy at the time, RCA artists were to use the company's own studios. ''Wheatfield Soul'' was cut independently and before the band signed with RCA. The band and their producer Jack Richardson felt that the sound at RCA was inferior to that of the independent A&R Studios, where ''Wheatfield Soul'' was recorded. They duly recorded ''Canned Wheat'' at RCA and secretly re-recorded two of the strongest numbers "Laughing" and "Undun" at A&R. To prove the point that the RCA studio was unsuitable, dubs of "Laughing" and "Undun" were sent to RCA. When RCA released "Laughing" and "Undun" as a single and began to hit the charts, RCA wanted an album put as soon as possible. There was no time to re-record the rest of the material and ''Canned Wheat'' was released, as recorded at RCA studio, yet including "Laughing" and "Undun" cut at A&R. ''Canned Wheat'' was first issued as RCA Victor LSP 4157. It was re-issued as an RCA budget line release ANL1 0981 and later reissued by budget label Pickwick as ACL 7067. A Quadraphonic mix was available only on the Quadraphonic 8-track cartridge format. The first CD issue was by RCA in the late 1980s. It was then remastered and re-released on CD by Buddah Records in 2000 and included two bonus tracks. The first run of Buddah CD pressings accidentally replaced the song "Species Hawk" with "Miss Frizzy". This was corrected on the second run and the pressings with "Miss Frizzy" are collector's items now. Both two songs "(Silver bird & Miss Frizzy)" are featured on the 1976 album ''The Way They Were''. The album consists of a string of the groups pop rock and psychedelic hit singles and remains a rock classic. ==Original track listing== All songs written by Randy Bachman/Burton Cummings except as noted. # "No Time" - 5:37 # "Minstrel Boy" - 3:18 # "Laughing" - 3:05 # "Undun" (Bachman) - 4:17 # "6 A.M. or Nearer" (Bachman) - 5:24 # "Old Joe" (Cummings) - 3:07 # "Of a Dropping Pin" - 3:42 # "Key" - 11:24 # "Fair Warning" - 1:44 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canned Wheat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
