I have never heard a Fender baritone (or bass?) so loud before and it is a good sounding instrument although I prefer it for tic tac rather than as a lead instrument. One of them sounds just like The Ventures to me. Good stuff.

I'm with your Bob, the Fender sounds terrific on this recording and stands up well as a lead instrument. It certainly adds a dimension to this recording that has the listener sit up and take notice.

Gee... i'm amazed at how you guys can easily identify a particular branded instrument featured on the record. That's cool.

Boy, here's one that really shocked me! I never heard this before today:

Jeff Beck's "Jeff's Boogie" taken from Chuck Berry's "Guitar Boogie."

I didn't know that either, I have always loved Jeff's Boogie. I gotta check out Guitar Boogie.

Bob - I PM'd you. Check it out.

There's a song on Roy Orbison's last album - I believe it's "A Love So Beautiful" - that borrows heavily (or almost exactly) from some classical or opera song.

But I can't recall the classical piece or composer. Any ideas or anyone know what I'm talkng about here?

Steve: I was always under the impression that A Love So Beautiful was composed by Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne. It was also covered by Michael Bolton. Your comments are most interesting and hopefully we will get to the bottom of this one.

Picking up on the classic loans theme here's a UK band that did not really have any success in USA, this was their first release based on a certain classic riff, a clough's classic for sure.

Good Move Roy. I just love the harmonies on this song, very tight and different. Also the drummer makes excellent use of his kit. On the other side of things, I understand that they created quite a disturbance as well. Thanks for this gem.

A love So Beautiful was composed by Orbison and Lynne this is a superb, in my view of course,instrumental version. I am not aware it was based on anything but some of you who bother to listen, may recognise it without vocals.

All guitars used for purists were Burns and Drums played by a man who was in the first Britsh Group to top the American charts.

Peter what was the classical piece the riff was based on.

Wasn't The Move song 'Night Of Fear' based on the '1812 Overture'?

Tchaikovsky perhaps?

Randy: You beat me to it.
