The Trems were the backing band for Christie's Yellow River single, and have often kept the song as part of their stage shows.

Thanks Gibson! For years the who Christy/Tremoloes thing had baffled me since both versions sounded alike. You answered a baffling question for me and I am grateful! Did you know that in 1983 a progressive Bluegrass band covered it? I believe it was Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver.

The Tremeloes recorded Yellow River and decided not to release it. But, they gave their backing tracks back to Jeff Christie, the composer, to use in his own recording. That's the current story circulating as to what happened. If it's true, I think it worked out best for everyone.

Chip Hawkes wasn't an original member, he only joined in 1966.

That's correct: the band "Christie" didn't even exist when their first single was recorded. Jeff Christie was the only member of the band "Christie" on the original single, singing lead. Mike Blakely (brother of the Tremeloes' Alan Blakely) was enlisted to join Christie on drums after the single was recorded. That guitar solo is unmistakenly Rick West(wood) of The Tremeloes, both here and on the Christie single. The Trems had a number 1 hit in South America with a Spanish version of this song.
