RITCHIE BLACKMORE on guitar.
Produced by JOE MEEK.
Released 07/1963.
Decca F 11693.
In the charts 15 weeks, reaching # 5.
Trivia: Heinz detested this song and resisted recording it.
Nonetheless it was his biggest hit and became his signature tune.
It is now acknowledged as a classic and has been recorded by many artists since.
Video was assembled with more haste than I would have liked.
Only had a couple of hours to put this together.
The men who made the music deserve better.
Photograph of the composer at the end enlarged and cropped from John Repsch's book, The Legendary Joe Meek - The Telstar Man.
Youtube blacked out the title and beginning of the video. Sorry about that.
