This Condensed Version gives you the intangible essence of the original recording in one small, easy-to-swallow capsule summary. The hyper folks at Hearer’s Digest have created this sample by slicing, dicing, and splicing, until it somewhat resembles excerpts of the original recording that are “severely truncated, but shorter.”
This Hearer’s Digest Condensed Version is made of excerpts from the following: “How many psychiatrists” from Knock, Knock—Classical Rap—Birthday Ode to “Big Daddy” Bach—“Howdy there”, “Tragedy”, “My heart”, “You murdered your father”, “When Billie Jo heard”, “Goodbye”, and Finale from Oedipus Tex.
