so it seems that brian poole was the weakest link! get rid of him, re-invent themselves as a pop group, then the well known hits came.
Nah! Not a fan of the late sixties "re-invented" Tremeloes, much prefer them as Brian Poole's backing group! With Brian at the helm they never recorded anything as downrigfht awful as "Even The Bad Times Are Good", "Suddenly You Love Me", "Hello World" or "Little Lady". :eek:

personally i didnt like either incarnation! as my run downs will confirm
just to let you know... ive contacted ds support and suggested a seperate forum for retro. dunno if they think itll be popular enough, but ive made a case for one... we will see.

I agree with this. I love Brian Poole and The Tremelos version of "Do You Love Me?" Couldn't stand most of the Tremelos songs such as "Silence Is Golden" with that awful high-pitched whine they had. :eek:

One from sometime girlfriend/protege of Lee Hazlewood, Suzi Jane Hokom. It certainly bears a similar stamp to his work with Nancy Sinatra, and no bad thing for that.
A cover of this track will appear on The Primitives comeback album of obscure female-fronted 60s covers in the New Year which I'm very much looking forward to. See? I don't JUST listen to old music!

Included the suggestion in a thread in General but it might be an idea to make a thread on here if we want action..
And related to that I suppose, what John Lennon described as Nina Simone's response to the Beatles' song Revolution
This might be a good thread to ask this. A mate played me a song by an obscure 60's band ages ago which I liked, however, I can't remember the song, or the bands name.
It was a short band name, possibly only 3 letters (in full, so it wasn't a The 3 letters band).
Any ideas?
I've only read the first page of the thread any no idea if you found the answer but MC5 immediately sprang to mind.
There's been no mention of Barbara, the true successor to Edith Piaf. (unlike Mireille Mathieu her pale imitation)
By way of introduction two songs from 1962 when she was at her melancholy best.
In 1968 James Brown released a tribute album to his good friend, RnB singer Little Willie John who had died that year while in Washington State Penitentiary on a manslaughter charge.
Here's a couple of LWJ covers from that album; 'Thinking about Little Willie John... and a Few Nice Things', and one from the man himself.
It is now being reported that EMI's recorded music division has been sold to Universal Music. Isn't it ironic that the three major british labels of the 1960s (EMI, Pye & Decca) are now controlled by the same company?
It seems the music publishing division is to be bought by Sony-BMG but is it really worth anything? After all, the market for sheet music must be pretty small these days?

Dis, quand reviendras-tu
Tu ne te souviendras pas
This cover of a Brel classic is faster yet somehow more moving than the original
Ne me quitte pas
Lastly, a piece of avant-garde craziness that pre-dates Brigitte Fontaine's similar work by almost a decade
Liberté
