Burt Bacharach's Trains and Boats and Planes on the 1963 Magnavox Stereophonic Console

[specialbeat]

Thanks for uploading this, who does this particular version of this track? Obviously written by the great Bertie B but so many people have covered it and wondered who done this one. Anyone????? Thanks

@specialbeat The astute Eagrocks below has informed us that the British session group the Breakaways did the vocals. No clue yet on who the additional session players were.

I have a similar console. I cant get the turn table to turn any suggestions?

[sorehand1978]

@JuliaGulia7102 Does the radio work? Does the tuner light up? If there is no power at all for anything there might be a bad or loose connection, or at worst, the power supply board components are bad. I would call around to used record stores in your area. Either they can do repairs there or refer you to someone that knows how to repair these units. Cheers.

How come the record player still works?

[sorehand1978]

@ajay999999 I made a few modifications. I've configured it so that instead of electricity it runs of of Fuller's ESB.

The Britsh session group The Breakaways did the vocals.

What's the name of the vocal group who sing this version, please, anyone? :/

Didn't we all have a stereo like this? That was top of the line and you had a little money if you had a piece of furniture like this. Ah, the good ol' days will last forever in my heart and mind.
