George Martin - Theme from The Family Way (1966)

[xsolon11]

It's not the same song on the A-side.

@xsolon11 well I thought so when I first played it, but later thought it was actually an interpretation of the same theme and idea, but you are probably right.

@inshreds45 Don't get why this single was on United Artists label when the sountrack album was on DECCA, even in the UK. I guess that UA was entitled to release it and then by mutual agreement DECCA had equal rights to the film music for the album. But why no album on UA etc ?

[inshreds45]

@TheKenfig i don't know, but an interesting observation. According to wikipedia, the album was on London in the US and Decca in the UK.

[TheKenfig]

@inshreds45 Well that isn't surprising, as that is the US 'equivalent' of DECCA as The 'Stones 60s records were on London in the US but UA of course was more associated with movies in the 60s and although UA released both AHDN and HELP ! Beatles movies, the orchestral music was released on the usual Beatles US label Capitol, mixed in with their own music on the US albums

[inshreds45]

@TheKenfig that's true.

Great find! Do you have the A-Side posted? It should be titled "Love In The Open Air" also credited to George Martin & His Orchestra.

[inshreds45]

@jayburdification nope but it is on youtube already, the side I posted wasn't at the time. They are both the same tune just different arrangements of it.

Fab. I love this film but never knew about this record xx

Thanks so much for sharing this. It shows Paul's talent so well and the difference between him and John Lennon.

[inshreds45]

@missgreeneyes56 my pleasure.

[rojack65]

@missgreeneyes56 you're right: Paul is a good musician; Lennon was a genius

[hurricaneUK]

@rojack65 Yeah sure.

[ammar255]

@missgreeneyes56

You are right Lennon was very good but Paul was the genius

[TheKenfig]

@ammar255 'Very good' ? That's THE understatement isn't it ? Don't you know half of Lennon's music ?

[ammar255]

@TheKenfig

I know all Beatles music before and after the breakup.

and very good means very good, nothing less

[TheKenfig]

@ammar255 Maybe nothing less, but definitely it is much more than very good
