The Aerovons-World of You

[jsilence418]

It just dawns on me, I first became aware of this excellent tune and its incredible string arrangement, on Technicolor Web of Sound , which is no more!! that stinks !

[DanielBowden1975]

Should have been big this track

[oceantracks]

Hey thanks for all the kind remarks. The album was shelved because the band broke up upon arriving back in America due to personal problems. I was invited by EMI to come live over in England and continue to pursue the whole record thing, but I was young, dumb, and homesick, so I passed on it. ---TH

Percival, thanks for uploading; I really enjoyed this song. Plus, you are very polite and resonable! I also feel this song is one of their best, and it's not derivative. It's a great song!

I bet this was pulled because the Aerovons were better than the Beatles at that time, and Capitol knew it....so it chose its marquee act. These guys should have been released. What a stupid business decision not to.

[jsilence418]

@1Museguy Stupid decisions , stupid comments like yours , what a world! the aerovons, better than the Beatles ? lol stop trying to ruin peoples listening experience of a good tune!

I was in a band with Mike and Billy of the Aerovons truly talented we did a demo CD back then everyone wanted to sound like the Beatles but the Beatles wanted to sound like everyone nothing is original...

[jsilence418]

@verlealvey Yet somehow the Beatles, and others managed to create highly inventive, original music, go figure !

[nostalgiahistoria67]

Awesome!!! I have the cd Resurrection by The Aerovons. Quite a few really great songs. Some songs definitely sound Beatles influenced and several such as "World of You" sounds very Bee Gees-ish. Check out the demo version of "World of You"-both versions (demo & studio) sound like a lost Bee Gees song!

[daviblight]

is there a way to purchase or download this cd?

[JACLS]

sounds rather moody bluesy to me...more than beatlesque

[nednipple]

"Let's imitate the Beatles down to the last detail!" Back to the shelf you go.

[Percivaldurham]

Well...A lot of groups copied The Beatles back then, but I personally feel this song is very original.

[griffinz]

@Percivaldurham

Like The Beatles never ripped off anyone themselves....nice track. thanks.

[Percivaldurham]

Your welcome. :)

[JebusInVegas]

Uhh, all psych-rock was influenced by the Beatles. Do you also pan bands like the Zombies and Pink Floyd for also creating similar music that was part of the era of which it was created?

This is a little more folky than the Beatles anyway.

[Percivaldurham]

Everything is taken from something. I'm sure The Beatles themselves would be the first to admit that they took things from Elvis and the other artists they grew up listening to. George Harrison admits that the bass line to "Drive my car" is a rip off of from the bass line of the song "Respect." When John Lennon wrote "Please, Please Me" he wanted it to sound like a Roy Orbison song. All artists take from someone or something.

Thank you DRB :)

[Percivaldurham]

You're welcome. :)

[dedicatedrr]

I can't believe this was never released! It's so good.

[Percivaldurham]

I like to root for the underdog groups of this time. The 1960's had so much great music going on so I can see why it would have been easy to have been swept under the rug. But I agree with you. Why this song was never released just puzzles me to no end.

[vambo23]

niiiice!

[Percivaldurham]

That was pretty much my thoughts too when I first heard this song.

[snips42]

i feel a robbie williams cover coming on

[Percivaldurham]

You'll have to forgive me, but who is Robbie Williams?

[abramsv]

one of the most gorgeous-sounding pop songs ever

[Percivaldurham]

Agreed. The first time I heard this I was just stunned. I couldn't believe that a song this good never got anywhere.
