  John Entwistle Album 'Rarities Oxhumed - Volume One' is released

Rarities Oxhumed (so named for his nickname, “The Ox”) -  Volume One is the first in a series of posthumous releases coming from John Entwistle as part of a new partnership with Deko Entertainment and longtime friend and collaborator Steve Luongo.  A collection of previously unreleased and remastered studio tracks, demos, live recordings, and more.

So, if you're an Entwistle diehard, a Who completist, or simply the type that loves epochal collectibles, the deluxe package of Oxhumed is for you.

This first one has unreleased and remastered studio tracks, demos, and live tracks with gems like “Bogey Man” featuring Keith Moon, “Where You Going Now” (demo for the Who), and a raw live version of “Trick of the Light” recorded during the John Entwistle Band’s final tour in 2001.

The album cover concept was conceived by Steve Luongo and Chris Entwistle (John’s son). It gives a nod to John’s dark sense of humor and includes many of John’s favorite things. The two also worked with celebrity designer Queenie (Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Cardi B).  CD £14.99  Tracklist belove

"The crazy thing is, a lot of people overlook John's solo work, or they don't realize how great of a songwriter he was," -collaborator Steve Luongo says-. "Sure, they know he was a great bass player with The Who, but I think this set of songs will open many casual fans' eyes. From the moment I met John, he was just the living embodiment of a rock star. And when I say that, I'm not talking about the obvious or extracurricular stuff. [laughs]. John could play with the best of 'em, but he dressed the part, talked the part, walked the part and lived the part. John Entwistle was a rock star and lived it daily." (Goldminemag)

The beauty of Oxhumed doesn't only lie in "outtakes for a children's TV show," like "Bogey Man." It's not to be defined by cuts like "Where Are You Going Now," an "unreleased Who demo accented by Keith Moon." And it's not solely explicated by "Trick of the Light," a live version of a previously released track from Entwistle's final tour. Because while those inclusions make Oxhumed musically diverse and a fun listen, it's the multi-dimensional aspect that drives this package home.

Entwistle’s original drawings of rock stars started off as black-and-white, pen-and-ink drawings like the ones on the cover of Who By Numbers. The series was so popular that Entwistle decided to go and release color versions of his work. While Entwistle was working on his ‘Guitarist Series,’ he used artist proofs to test various colors.
