DAMN
Why is this record so perfect? When I was growing up I thought it was made in California.

My parents had this on an early K-Tel compilation album of 60s classics issued around 1973, it is a brilliantly happy little tune. Sounds like the best party going on in the background. Someone should cover it. Isn't it a Cat Stevens song?

Yeah it is but this version is the greatest.

2 versions:
The single starts immediately into the song.
I have a 'freebie' where there's about 20 seconds of clapping, whooping, and such, before the song starts with a 1-2-3-4. (This has Sim&Garf feeling groovy on the bside.)
Both have the BEST MOMENT of recorded history, where the singer sings "You'll never walk alone" and someone in the background goes "HAH HA HAA!"
And there was a cover by the mavericks.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"/HAHAH with the Trems >>>>>>>>>>>>> aren't we clever/stoned She Loves You YEAH YEAH YEAH/"All You Need Is Love"
Also recommended - deliberately offkey pub piano singalong intro to "Even The Bad Times Are Good"

(That 'she luvs yew' was in response to john singing 'love is all you need...... yesterday, but yeah)

Plus general WTFness of "Me And My Life" ("Daddy take your whip away!") and unspecified top Brit jazz trumpeter trying to do against-the-grain Milesisms throughout "Call Me Number One."

Mind you, in the original full broadcast of "All you need is love", you can hear Macca singing "She loves you" to warm his voice up about a minute before the song starts for real.
The Tremeloes are a bit unheralded in terms of their marvellous late 60s output. Maybe I need to seek out a good compilation of their stuff. Any recommendations, folks?

This is definitely the one to get; complete post-Brian Poole works including their increasingly bizarre attempts to go glam in the seventies.

Jesus, 78 tracks!
― Tom D., Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:26 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah, how much of that is worth hearing?

Disc 3 looks like hell!
― Mark G, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:34 (eighteen years ago)
Disc 3 is quite brilliant up until about track 10 and then there's a BIG drop off.
― Dingbod Kesterson, Thursday, 15 May 2008 11:43 (eighteen years ago)
well, we will have to see...
I did get that Shadows singles boxset (4 CDs), discs 2 and 3 are excellent.
