@MrMeddled : and possibly on "Among The Birks", the final track on side one of Gallagher & Lyle's 1973 album Willie and the Lapdog. (Though actually, unless I'm mistaken, I think that particular song was recorded alfresco, birds and all, in the grounds of a place called Stargroves.)
@MrMeddled : Yes, and also on a vinyl version of the Beatles' "Across the universe" which was in the "Rarities" album of the first Beatles vinyl box. In fact, all the odd sounds used in songs at the time came from sound libraries that could be used (at an expensive price) in other peoples work. A good choice, nevertheless.
Try to access the "BBC sound library". It contains more sounds than one could ever dream of !
@MrMeddled End Of The Season...Recorded In 1967,Published In 1968...Cirrus Minor: Recorded and Published in 1969...touché!!!....(those birds are in a lot of recordings,my friend...don't you know sound libraries???)
Love this track, a weird one from a great album. The beginning reminds me of Syd era Floyd and then it morphs into the theme music from Paddington bear as a kid eating toast in front of the fire after primary school in the seventies..very strange..take it away boys.
I love the reference to Paddington bear. Yeah there's a similarity in there, though I think this track predates Paddington bear. This is my favourite Kinks tune.
Great song, the video reminds me of the area around my old college in upstate New York, and especially cause I used to listen to this song when the depressing and nasty winter would dawn
you are obviously not from England. This song works on many levels .The Kinks were what we we would call working class. They are imitating the voices and concerns of the upper class. Yet by highlighting the concerns of some "despisable" toff they are celebrating what we love about being english. And as the beer closes in and you demand more explanation all I gudbye
I hate to disappoint you but you're wrong and being overly class conscious. The Kinks were middle class Londoners! Ray and Dave Davies grew up in a middle class home in Muswell Hill which is a posh part of north London.
From what I have read, it is posh now, but it was not posh back when they grew up. It's a neighborhood which has become "gentrified" in the last 10 or 15 years.
i like it xD
