music in the shed

I first heard this as the music to a commercial featuring the saddest puppy in the world!
And here he is the most worried dog in the world, it may be selling out, but artists have to pay the bills too!

.... and this ......... I get the feeling that when Dorothy talks about getting back in time for the last train to San Fernando , it`s not the railways she`s thinking about ....... Lets hope the other bloke she`s getting married to the following day realises what he`s getting into ........

A few years later , ( late `sixties ) , A Salty Dog was about the fifth LP I bought ....... The last time I listened to this was over fifty years ago .......

The album cover artwork mimics the Players Navy Cut cigarette packet , with the sailor framed by the lifebelt .......

The cigarette packet sailor was based upon a real life character , Captain Davey Braund ......... The Braund family were descended from the survivors of a Spanish Armarda warship that was shipwrecked off the North Devon coast some 450 years ago .....

Davey Braund became something of a celebrity in Victorian society ( a sort of real life Captain Birdseye figure ) , and Players chose the image from some already existing artwork as the model for the " Hero " sailor figure on their fag packet ......

Also guesting on Shivaree were the Brian Jones- era Rolling Stones ..... introduced by Gene Weed .......... and not a dry seat left in the house ........

Sounds like the studio recordings ... so if Jagger is miming , he`s doing a pretty good job of it .......

No mic is a giveaway.. as you say Tony, stage skill and studio skills for Mr Jagger, have to hand it to him and band....j
 

Great cover , and live performance ( drummer as well ) , of Dionne Warwicks " Anyone Who Had A Heart " ........

Writer Burt Bacharach later approached Cilla to record the title track from the film " Alfie " , at Abbey Road .......... After 29 takes he was finally satisfied with the recording ......
 

........... and by way of contrast ........... Steve Jones ( guitar and bass ) and Paul Cook ( drums ) basically completed the album between the two of them as a series of instrumental tracks ......... ( Cook and Jones approached Glen Matlock and asked him to return and play on the album , but he refused unless he was paid upfront ) ......... John Lydon was brought in to add the vocals at a later date ...........

Free rein on the drummer!! Nice change - we'd often be accused of overplaying if we let loose like that! Sounds like Ginger Baker back there :eek: :cry:
