Wonderful Land - 1965

[Pedro]

Good to see a good atmosphere between JR and HBM.
Was it in the Bruce Welch book that I read there was some hostility between JR and HBM???

[neil2726]

Yes , Bruce did report that Hank and John didnt get on at one point, even an incident over a biro if I remember correctly.

[Iain Purdon]

The dry Burns sound! And the secret stretched tape machine producing the most extravagant note-bending ever

Some "new" YouTube clips posted from an 1965 ATV Cliff & The Shadows Special - for anyone interested that might not of seen them.

I had not seen this video before, not sure I really missed something !

I'd not seen this before either. I have to say I've heard better versions at various Shadows' Clubs.....

At least they weren't miming! , I have felt rather cheated at how many Shadows clips seem to show the band miming.

[ecca]

Where were the guitar leads ?

[Stratpicker]

Miming indeed and I hope the sound at the time was better than the clip. If that was the best the Studio could come up with - yuk!
WL just doesnt sound right on a Burns. It'd never have been a Hit!!
And what a dreadful Cliff clip - just shows what you'll do for Money!!
cheers

This may be blasphemous to some, for which I can only say sorry, but isn't it painful to watch the majority Of Cliff's TV shows. The music was great (mostly) but the staging and all that hideous dancing, must have lost him heaps of fans and surely diminished his standing in British musical history. I remember when he represented Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1973, with "Power To all Our Friends". I thought he stood a chance as he had a brilliant song, then he spoiled it all by dancing, I still blush at the thought!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYa3UTyn2mE
