Not sure if I remember John Leyton. Not bad.

I can't believe this - is that really Helen Shapiro touring the sandwiches around ? A pretty good joke (and nobody here i can show it to, shit ... )

@SpeedTriple59 The same will happen to you and to all of us . John Leyton was a great singer and deserves a far better comment than that which you made. At least, listeners can understand what he is singing Discordant unmelodious Crap Rap " noise-makers who aren't worthy of being called singers will also become worm-fodder and the sooner the better

@1962Rebel Unlikely. Joe Meek's flat was exactly that, a no frills flat that he would set up as a recording studio, singer in the kitchen, backing singers in the sitting room, drummer in the bedroom and whoever else in the loo, if necessary!
What you see here is probably someone on the Pinewood Studio lot. He couldn't afford to have a large string orchestra shown here, he simply hired about 4 string musicians and double/treble/quadruple tracked them!

@LaVerne37 - The girl in the window was Helen Shapiro!

@shiloh7777 would be true but for the fact that Mkelksham is in wiltshire and not to the south of london

I have been loving this song since my early childhood. Now I'm 39 years old and this song still inspires me. Is awesome.



It was probably Joe Meek's flat in Holloway Road, London. Joe produced John Leyton records. You may have seen the BBC Arena special a few years ago about Joe Meek which showed footage taken in his flat of some of his recordings being made. It was fascinating.
