These are the three known "lost" Blues Brothers audio recordings that were meant to be used in their 1980 movie, but were either trimmed down or cut out entirely. These recordings have been hard to find, and part of the reason is that they were only ever heard in a Dr. Demento Show broadcast in 1980, and Dr. Demento is very protective of his shows - the only other way to hear these recordings prior to this Archive upload was to subscribe to Dr. Demento's streaming service. With the gracious help of Bill Hunt (without whom this wouldn't be possible), I have made these available to all that wish to hear them.
THE BLUES BROTHERS - SINK THE BISMARCK (MP3 format - 192kbps/44kHz stereo) This Johnny Horton number was originally preformed by the band at Bob's Country Bunker (right after Stand by Your Man) in the test screening version of the film, but was subsequently cut for the film's theatrical release.
MURPH AND THE MAGIC TONES - QUANDO QUANDO QUANDO (MP3 format - 128kbps/44kHz stereo) Only a portion of this Tony Renis number (as preformed by Murph and the Magic Tones) appears in the final version of the film.
MURPH AND THE MAGIC TONES - JUST THE WAY YOU ARE (MP3 format - 128kbps/44kHz stereo) Only an instrumental version of this Billy Joel number appears (very briefly) in the final version of the film.
