"In the Year 2525" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969, ultimately claiming the top spot for six weeks. It also hit #1 in the UK and #2 in Australia. The song topped the charts at the time of two major cultural events: the first moon landing on July 20, 1969 and the Woodstock Music Festival a month later. The record sold over four million copies by 1970 and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in July 1969.

Andrei second and last vocal track submitted for consideration. This will need EQ, compression and reverb. I see now why after 6 months you got no volunteers to sing this. Not because the notes or melody are too challenging but for the 'unique' phrasing... John

Thanks John. Your vocals sound quite well but still out of sync. Isolate vocals and BT and you'll hear it obviously, you're improvising through the song. I asked you to learn it by heart but you haven't done it. I'll not asking you more but if you'll decide to go on please don't submit uncorrected tracks more. Cheers, Andrei.

@Andrei : 'I asked you to learn it by heart but you haven't done it' Sorry I've dissppointed you Andrie - I'm not talented enough to supply a photo-copy of the original. There are many great singers on BH hopefully they can help you complete the collab. Best wishes John

Thanks, it sounds good as draft but not for accepting. This song is pretty difficult and impromptu doesn't work here, too many parts are out of sync. You have to work lyrics out and learn the song by heart if you want to be accepted.

Owen, i see you are a member of bandlab so please accept my invitation there just to be marked as co-collaborator. Fons, as you removed your account i'll let you know when the collab will be completed.
