Amongst the many gems and oddities being unearthed as part of The Beatles’ Apple Records catalogue and soon to be lovingly re-issued is a funny little single from 1969, never properly released, by an artist named Brute Force (nee Stephen Friedland). King of Fuh (listen below) is a silly, stoney, naughty hippy tale incorporating as many uses of the phrase fuh king as possible. Get it ? Lennon and Harrison (who arranged it) evidently found it hilarious and although they knew EMI would never distribute it pressed up 2000 copies anyway, presumably to give to friends. Who fuh-king knew?
 

 
Thanks Kevin Laffey and Rick Potts!

Hmmm, was it really “produced by The Tokens”?  Makes sense—they also had an album called “Intercourse” that’s miles away from the doo-wop they were known for

I appreciate the cred, Brad, but Rick Potts reminded me of the single after I’d posted the Apple reissue link.

I’d never heard the Fuh King b-side before, though. Thanks!

And apparently one of the nicest copies of this rare x/2,000 demo went for nearly $5,000 pounds.

Anyone know if the Carnival of Light track will ever be released?
