The Coachmen sing Seasons in the Sun

The Coachmen formed at Manchester University in 1963. This song was recorded on July 30th 1966 at EMI Abbey Road Studios, and released under Columbia DB 8057 in November 1966. I found a demo disk issued by Capitol Records, No P5896, but as far as I know, the record was never released in the USA. Session musicians included Big JIm Sullivan playing Stuarts Levin 12 string guitar and Ike Isaacs on rhythm guitar. Video put together by me from the few photos I have. Roger Drew

I created the video when I was out in Uganda building roads, using some of the very few photos I had of the band, plus some magazine photos. Not much else to do in the evenings, so a good time to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop and Premiere!

Good rendition.

The original was a lot darker !

It's like a B grade horror movie with the freaky floating head graphics

different version from the Beach Boys, Terry Jacks, and Kurt Corbin...but each one has its own take on it. I do like the Terry Jacks version the best. Kurt's version was just ok.

Brilliant video! Wish I could get to grips with Adobe Premiere. As this version preceded the Terry Jack,s version by some 8 years I,ve updated the Wikipedia entry with this info for all interested "anoraks"!
