Pete Cook - 1968 July album songwriter, musician, guitar maker to world renownd rock bands, and Tom Newman Chris Jackson and Alan James have reformed the Tomcats(July) early this year 2009 and produced a vindaloo shit hot rock album prospectively to release by the end of this year. These guys still have even more rock music blood flowing through their veins. These guys come from a legendary rock era and still have it. I know coz Pete was round for dinner the other day. Rock on lads!!

[hoooookkkkkeeerrrrr]

Cool Video Dude,Can you make one for the song"Crying Is For Writers"It's track number 3 on side 2 on the LP(July)

[merrillo]

I went to school with some of these guys, they were our local "group".

Still in touch with the drummer Chris.

Yes its the same Tom.

They also had a hook up with Patrick Campbell Lyons. Later of Nirvan (UK)

Ive got another song by July called Dandelion Seeds.

[mickmitchell25]

Did you get the little reference to sloop john B in there.

[VintageFuzz]

No, please enlighten us. I don't know which line you are referring to...

[mickmitchell25]

At about 1:28 little instrumental break, your to busy wallowing in the barrettness of it all.

[VintageFuzz]

I just threw Sloop John on the turntable and I hear the similarities. Certainly, PET SOUNDS would have rocked their world almost two years before this track was recorded. And continuing with the boating motif.

When I heard it, I always thought of this Daniel Johnston song off of HI! How Are You? -- the same exact riff -- or a bass line from The Ronettes.

[mickmitchell25]

I was trying to think of the girl group song the bass line reminded me of, all i could think of was the scene in Goodfellas where they go into the Copacabana club.Cheers.

[johnfright]

Oh yeah- The Ghost Of Our Love. July was truly pretty fuckin' neglected for too long. Cool video, vintagefuzz!

[deepintoblues]

yep at 1:27

[deepintoblues]

Oh, that was supposed to be a response about the Sloop John B reference.

[chrisedelic77]

"Mary is a very fine boat, she's the finest boat to float." Super Duper indeed.... Their whole album is fantastic!

[Cosh100657]

Good song, very Syd Barrett/early Floydish!

[jazzfanjohn]

Pleasant ditty: shades of Sgt P!?

Same Tom Newman who produced "Tubular Bells", I think?

Later a superb album "Bayou Moon" on Coda Records in 1985. Can't help any further.

[MatthewJamesWalter]

man, July is so good and it is so sad that it seems no one knows who they are....

[CosmicDean]
