Now is the hour: Young red eyes is back/Wounded John Scott Cree - 1978 (unreleased)

Unedited recording of versions of two "last dance" songs at a million gigs. Now is the hour coupled with a song based loosely on My way. These were instantly recognisable to my Dad as a danceband drummer and I was glad to have him in the studio when I recorded them. Wounded John Scott Cree with Ricky Hitchcock (guitar), Alan Jones (bass), Cliff Hall (piano), Pete Kircher (drums), Ron Asprey (tenor sax), Ronnie Ross (baritone sax), Martin Drover (trumpet), Jeff Evans (trumpet), Geoff Wright (trombone). Violins: Julian Gaillard, G. Palmer, D. McConnell, D. Moody, L. Rossi, L. Clay. Viola: W. Jones, G. Scott. Cello: Robin Firman, Denis Vigay. Arrangements by Mike Bailey. Produced by Tony Atkins. In 1979, Noel Edmonds used a 'live at version of Now is the hour, from the LP Wivabandon Oneezone, to close his weekly BBC Radio 1 show and for a series of jingles. This video uses 1976 Brighton concert footage and photos of Jock Cree (Dad)'s 1945 RAF band. Shorter videos of the component songs are elsewhere on YouTube.
