Chris Spedding (Orginal Sex Pistols Producer) playing "Wellington" there. The Sex Pistols did the bulk of their stuff at Wessex Studios the same place all the "Wombles" Tunes were done.....I think that's wonderful
Chris Spedding, additional guitarist on The Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks had to play the guitar playing Womble on TOTP. He almost joined the Stones instead of Ronnie Wood too. Strange career that man has had.
I wonder what all the teenagers in the studio thought of having to be on TV dancing to the WOMBLES. The TV show was classic, but somehow life-sized Wombles with people inside wasn't the same. Nice song, though!
I'm 62, and love this, too! Mike Batt has never made a recording that I haven't loved. I never got to see the Wombles in action here in the USA--so glad to find this here!
Holy Cow!!! I saw this on Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid. I'm 41 now, and the memory comes around every now and then. I can't believe there's a video on the net of it in this day and age! Thanks!
good god!
