Phred Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hey all, looking for some good British invasion (1964-1968ish - British rockers...) covers that feature the Organ (Hammond preferably, maybe some farfisa). Whiter shade of pale House of the rising Sun Hush Gimme Good Loving Other suggestions are welcome... I'm just saying', everyone that confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead.

Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Is there a song more enjoyable to play than Whiter Shade of Pale? I just love hittin that one. I don't know where they're from offhand, but Steppenwolf did play during the 60s and I LOVE Magic Carpet Ride's sound. So, that's my reccomendation.

linwood Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride !! Yea. When that came out, I was maybe 13. I can remember listening to that on the jukebox at some ice cream shop that I'd ride my bike to to buy cigs. It sounded so good coming out of that Seaberg. I still can't figure out how the guy slapped that intro on Hush. Killer tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoJazz1951 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ...nobody (I knew) had an electric piano during that time sooo-we all played organ on "She's Not There" by the Zombies. On the live Zombies album from last year, Argent takes an organ solo on it, as well... We will not waiver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail! George W.

Sven Golly Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Originally posted by linwood: I still can't figure out how the guy slapped that intro on Hush. Killer tunes. It really needs the multiple contacts of a real Hammond organ to get the variations in tone between the light and firm slaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sorry, but Deep Purple and Steppenwolf are not British Invasion bands! Most British invasion organ songs are gonna be Vox Continental, not Hammond. How about House of the Rising Sun (Animals)? Do Wah Diddy (Manfred Mann) I can't think of a lot of prominent organ in british invasion bands, but if you extend that to what's happening at the same time in America, you have: Incense Peppermints (Strawberry Alarm Clock) 96 Tears (Question Mark & the Mysterions) Hungry, Just Like Me, Kicks (Paul Revere & Raiders) etc. etc. The Hammond stuff started happening more in the 1967 time frame, after the invasion was over.

Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oooh, Incense Peppermints, hell yeah! I finally know who the hell that song is by and what the real name is!

Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oh hell yeah Telstar, by The Tornados if I'm not mistaken! I always thought that song could do with a really rockin near metal version, get some screamin guitars in there and hell yeah! Seriously, that was my favorite song from age 10 to 14.

jon from oz Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 How about some Yardbirds, John Mayall, and old Fleetwood Mack. These bands all had some good tunes with keys featured but these to might be a little late to be BritInv stuff? Have you heard of Gorgie Fame over there ? Some great Hammond sounds.

mate stubb Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 You mentioned "Gimme Good Lovin" in the original post, don't know if you maybe meant: "Gimme Some Lovin'" (Spencer Davis Group) or "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin" (Crazy Elephant) Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdman Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Get hold of Brian Auger and Trinity (Julie Driscoll on vocals). Their big hit was "Wheels on Fire". Another worthwhile CD is "Blues Anytime Vol 3" with a whole bunch of guys who later became famous on it. Nicky Hopkins, for example. You will recognize some of the guitarists on there too.

jook Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 What mate_stubb said... and if we're extending to non-british bands of that era, then you'd naturally ought to be including The Doors of course, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
