The Tremeloes - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: 1967-1968

This is the third volume of out five of the Tremeloes performing for the BBC.

In 1967, psychedelic music was all the rage, especially in Britain. Virtually every British Invasion band started wearing outrageous clothing, taking drugs, playing the sitar, and so on. But not the Tremeloes. If you listen to the music here, you'll find little to no psychedelic influence. Instead, they kept doing their poppy style, with a soul influence. And they stayed in the charts. Three of the songs here - "Even the Bad Times Are Good," "Suddenly You Love Me," and "My Little Lady" were Top Ten hits in Britain.

Everything here has been officially released, from the album "BBC Sessions, 1967-1969."

Typically, British Invasion bands like this one did covers for the BBC that they never recorded in the studio and released. That's the case with the Tremeloes. I didn't check every last song, but I know for instance that "Walk Away Renee," "Gimme Little Sign," "Angel of the Morning," "(If You Think You're) Groovy," and "My Baby Left Me" were only done for the BBC. Note that a different version of "My Baby Left Me" from 1965 was included on Volume 1 in this series.

As you'd expect from this time period, many of the songs had BBC DJs talking over the music (all the ones with "[Edit]" in their titles). As usual, I used the X-Minus audio editing program to wipe out the talking while keeping the underlying music. 

This album is 47 minutes long.
