December 17, 200520 yr Ok Mech, you started this, so here's the Whoever gets the answer asks the next question.If no one answers the question in a week, the same person gets to ask another, any one can join in. Anyone up for a game? :D Get my own back time, Trivia question Floyd did a semi live double album in 1969, Ummagumma.Where did this very strange album title come from?
December 18, 200520 yr Admin wait a sec... according to what I've read it was sex, just as Rock and Rolls not so well hidden meaning was sex.
December 18, 200520 yr Author Mmmm, I'll need to give the answer away here, but the album cover shows the guys stading in various positions through a patio door, the picture on the wall shows the same scene but the guys have moved round, and the picture in the picture they've moved again......the house belonged to a friend of theirs, and he'd called the house Ummagumma............................they named the album after the house because they couldn't think of anything else at the time.Why he'd named the house that..............????? I'll give you an alternative question... Can anyone name the man who played drums on the Beatles first single?
December 18, 200520 yr Admin Pete Best? the 1st Quarreymen recording: a 1958 scratchy recording of "That'll Be The Day" and an original "In Spite of All the Danger". There are more demos of this sort-"You'll Be Mine" and the instrumental "Cayenne". Tony Sheridan's fair sounding vocals on "My Bonnie" before the Beatles take over (with Pete Best, the original drummer) on "Ain't She Sweet" and "Cry for a Shadow". George sings lead on "3 Cool Cats" and Paul sings lead on "Besame Mucho". Also included is a flat-tempoed Pete Best on "Love Me Do" before Ringo replaces Best on "How Do You Do It" (I prefer theirs better than Gerry and the Pacemakers'). An early (and superior) version of "One After 909" finds its way. There's a more raucous demo of "Can't Buy Me Love" and the Beatles experimenting with harmonies on "8 Days..", with an electric 12-string on "And I Love Her", and with tempos on "I'll Be Back". Great songs you never heard from the Beatles (until now) include "You Know What to Do" (George's 2nd song) and "Leave My Kitten Alone". And the Beatles really did sound well live, as witnessed by the 1963 recordings (most humorous is "Moonlight Bay" with Morecambre and Wise!)
December 18, 200520 yr Author Corrreccct!When Epstein took over managing the Beatles, Best was dumped and never apparently given an explanation. That coincided with their recording deal with EMI.Ringo Starr joined and their next formal recording was Love Me Do....their first hit single, but before the switch to EMI, the band had recorded a single with Polydor called 'My Bonnie', on which Best played. Over to you!
December 18, 200520 yr Author Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, Summer wine My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak. I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet. She reassured me with an unfamiliar line. And then she gave to me more summer wine. Ain't Google wonderful, I honestly hadn't a clue! http://www.guitaretab.com/n/nancy-sinatra-...wood/24908.html
