Clever isn't he? A bit like Shirley Bassey, but smart.

I said I wouldn't do this...

This is a bit better.

But it sounds horrible.

His vocals are so high and overbearing in the mix the band sound like they're playing behind the radiator in the next room.

Where it all goes full-on Beatles.

I'd suggest Beach Boys-ey too.

Strong Van Dyke Parks elements.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:40 pm

There are rumours George Martin was involved in this.
