Music from Van-Pires
Music from Van-Pires is the only studio album recorded by the John Entwistle Band and is Entwistle's final studio album before his death in 2002. It was a soundtrack for the Sci-Fi Award-winning UPN animated children's computer-generated television series Van-Pires, which only aired between 1997 and 1998, shooting 13 episodes, which Entwistle had been involved with. Some of the tracks appear on his solo compilation album So Who's the Bass Player? The Ox Anthology (2005), despite this. The album was not re-released alongside Entwistle's other solo studio albums in 2005. The song "Bogey Man" was originally written for the Who's eighth studio album Who Are You (1978) by Entwistle, but was rejected by the band for being too humorous. A demo was recorded by Entwistle and Keith Moon. The demo was largely forgotten and was believed to have been lost until the 1990s.[2] Entwistle resorted to his old demos for material for the soundtrack to the 1997 children's television programme Van Pires, to help him meet a contract which agreed he would write and record 13 new songs and a theme tune in 3 months. When the band's drummer, Steve Luongo heard the demo, he recognized Keith Moon's drumming on the demo, and the band decided to record a new version of the song with Moon's original drum track.[3] Track listing
