This is for 'maolchalium', sorry about the poor balance! It was recorded, many moons ago, from a radio broadcast and I had made no notes about the line-up other than that it was Humph in the lead.

LADY MADONNA, CHILDREN AT YOUR FEET....

100 club. Woman comes in while they were playing this "Always turns up like a bad penny" said Humph. That got the title. Joe Meek produced / recorded it. Sent band away and Humph went on hols. When he came back, he was furious at what Joe had done with heavy compression and tricks unheard of back then. But it was ground breaking and a massive hit. Beatles / Martin certainly copied the whole effect for Madonna

which spector song did lennon rip off for so this is christmas?
-
Lovely. Takes me back to the late 1950s
-
and possibly GM gave them the idea for Lady Madonna from this too....
-
Just the drumbeat? The whole piano riff too....
children at your feet.... but still Humph had it all over them on this one. He who plays the best groove laughs last!
-
Its pretty funny that George Martin recorded this as well. Man, would the Beatles ever had gotten screwed for plagerism with this, or Lennon's rip-off of Spectors song for "So this is Christmas"
-
did the monkey statue kill the man?
-
It was just the drumbeat that was swiped, as far as I know.
-
haha yea bud, the beatles used this song for lady madonna

Glad you liked it. Can you pass it on to the other guy who seemed (some time ago) to miss it? I haven't been able to identify him, but he (she?) was in conversation with you.
