A song featuring John Paul Jones will no longer be released on an upcoming charity album that pays tribute to Syd Barrett.
A live recording of Jones performing the Barrett song “Gigolo Aunt” with Robyn Hitchcock on May 10, 2007 was due to be released on the album Clowns and Jugglers (The Songs of Syd Barrett) on October 9.
However, the track has now been cut from the upcoming album because of quality issues. A different recording of the same song by Hitchcok, without Jones included, will replace it.
“The Robyn Hitchcock version of ‘Gigolo Aunt’ featuring John Paul Jones recorded at the Barbican has been changed for a different version of the same track, which does not feature John Paul Jones,” a spokesperson for record label Gonzo told LedZepNews.
“This is due to concerns about the sound quality not being of a high enough quality. Gonzo wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused,” they continued.
