The Wrecking Crew were just another studio band of "session players" that played instuments the recording bands did'nt normally play or "touched up" songs for over-demanding studio execs. All recording artist are backed up by studio musicians sometimes. Some work as studio musicians themselves. Whats the big stinkin' deal?!

@starrrkrazeee I bet at least one of the guitarists traveled with them all the time and only played the guitar.

@starrrkrazeee Actually, the piccolo guy was Terry Kirkman, probably the closest thing to a frontman the association had. Kirkman wrote, sang, played several instruments, and was supremely talented.

did they have a piccolo only guy that traveled with them all the time and all he did was play the piccolo?



great arrangement and orchestration! good live performance, of a harmonically complex piece. don't forget, sound mixing for live performances, was very primitive in the late sixties.
