Nice one mates. Always liked this song, and this is a cool restrained version...actually Ed should generally be restrained where possible...

Lol - thanks James

Damn ! Beat me to it (note : not the sandwiches, the tune !)

I was thinking (seriously like) of doing a copy of this tune, but you beat me to it. Nice one monkeys, great production. Would have brought the current Mrs's vocals up a tad as a counterpoint against ze Bapu's lead. Just my POV.

Them glorious hamonies of t'original, they're not necessarily necessary, goes to show.

Nice Monkeys ( and the Current Mrs 1968).

Ha - you can still do the cover - I would love to hear it :) Thanks for the compliments and I agree with the BV's - will be remixing

The expected polish and shine on the mix, production nicely done, thanks for sharing.

Cheers Wookie - really appreciate it

When my wife and I were living in Toronto, I listened to CHUM radio and they gave airplay to this song every fifth song (or so it seemed).  I overdosed on this number back then and haven't heard it in a long time.  I forgot what a pleasant number this was.
I really like the laid back feel that you have given this number.  It sounds great and I too like the guitar work (including the bass) on this rendition.
Thanks for the memories.

I really liked your mix balance, each thing is dry and separate. And it's really a classic tune you are covering, great to hear all the things you did with your rendition. Background vocals were a definite win here.
 
That said, I wonder what microphone you used for the main vocal? I don't think it brings life into the vocal - which sounds very "effected"compared to the rest of your instruments.
 
Did you filter or eq the vocal? Or did the mic just limit the range it was capturing? Was it a dynamic sm-57 type deal? Maybe I'm used to hearing condensers on vocals. I think condensers give a little bit more air or something.
 
still, great job on a great song.
 
cheers,
-Tom

AEA R84 through Grace 101m Preamp.
 

ah, thanks for the response! that's a ribbon mic and I get how it smoothed over some of the air! I don't own a ribbon and I've always been curious about how to use them, I've read that they are aces for mic'ing a guitar amp. It does lend an vintage quality to your vocal.
 
again, good job, I like this song more after hearing your rendition of it!
 
cheers,
-Tom

I like it. The dryness of it works really good. Nice vocals. Sounds great. 
Good job to all. 
 

Thanks a lot Jimmy - we both appreciate it - Baps did do a great job on the vox

The Forum Monkeys
Ed Kocol (Bapu) - ...and Lead solo guitar

 
What??!?!  This is what happens when you let bass players have too much power. 
 
Good job all around!

Lurved the Leslie guitar!

Thankee Yorolpal - but actually to get that effect, I mic'd up Baps while he swung the guitar amp around his head
