Ronson and Bowie at their best: track B4 " Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere"!
Concerning my last post. Interesting rough and muddy live version of "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" on this soundtrack. Track B1. Recorded and shot at Studio One, Wembley, July 1, 1965 for TV programme "Ready Steady Go". You may look at it on Youtube. This is the only clip of the movie which has an overdub. The original had very low bass. So in 1978 John Entwistle got the bass model on which he is seen playing in the film and recorded a new bass line, then blended it in seamlessly. Does anybody know which bass model he used then?
Good german pressing. 36 years old vinyl in mint condition.
Concerning my last two posts: "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" recorded live in BBC studio 2, London May 24, 1965. The feedbacking guitar was overdubbed. No Nicky Hopkins' piano as on original single track. Broadcast on Saturday Club and Top Gear.

H.R. is a Psychedelic Guitar Player. weird record.
Concerning my three last posts: "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" as the single was released in May 1965. Decca at first returned the tapes assuming the feedback was a technical fault. Mono. 2'40 of pure energy.......
Concerning my last post "Who's better, Who's best": is it possible to cover a song of The Who? No go? IMHO there are only a few cover versions that are acceptable. Does anybody know a Who song cover version that's superior to the original? This one is an example of how you should not cover a Who song. It's a shame, so don't listen to track A4 "I can see for miles". And forget Tina Turner's embarrassing version of Led Zeppelins "Whole lotta love" on track A5! This was simply a poor one by Tina Turner........
Cover version of The Who song "I can't explain": not bad, but does it make sense to have a cover of this song by the Scorpions? This track was a 45rpm single release. Perfect guitar work. Too perfect. Sterile. But the version of David Bowie's "Pin Up" LP was the perfect cover of this song because of the typically striking guitar work of Mick Ronson. See my post of 15. Januar 2016. Finally, the original was a powerful sign of those times and places........
Poor Yvonne: she has to eat this green gelatine food. Food of Love? This is IMHO the second best cover version of "I can's explain"after the Bowie version on "Pin Up", because of the extraordinaire voice of Elliman and the guitar of Pete Townshend himself. She was the voice behind Eric Clapton's band. Mick Grabham of Procol Harum guitar. John Gustafson bass. Mike Giles drums. Produced by Rupert Hine.
The biggest highlight of DB's work. Listen to track B1 "Time". What a big sound. Thanks to Mick Ronson. Totally weird piano playing on title track A2: big fun with this song until the last tune has faded. Superb dynamics. German pressing. Listen loud! No fillers, only winners on this one. Who was the insane lad on the piano? Mike Garson?
HIFI on the highest peak. So close your eyes. Listen to the magical mystery guitar playing. This is Gabor Szabo at his best. Carlos Santana learnt so much from him. I didn't know then. But i know now. Simply beautiful. No further words necessary....

His solo work is respectable. But he was an Eagle......This is a german pressing with poor dynamics.
