Description
YES, JIMMY WAS A BEATLE FOR 10 DAYS. HE STOOD IN FOR RINGO WHILE HE HAD HIS TONSILS OUT IN '64 PLAYING COPENHAGEN, 4TH JUNE, AND THEN ON TO AUSTRALIA WHERE RINGO REJOINED ON THE 14TH JUNE.
THIS SUPERB SINGLE SOUNDS A LOT LIKE JIMMY'S EX BOSS, GEORGIE FAME, BOTH IN FEEL AND VOCAL DELIVERY. VOCALS WERE PROVIDED BY TONY ALLEN AND THE SWELLING HAMMOND BY ROGER COULAM.
THE "A", "CLEMENTINE" IS A TAKE ON THE OLD AMERICAN FOLK SONG GIVEN A JAZZY FEEL.
THE "B", "BIM BAM" IS MORE A SOUL FEEL WHICH STEAMS ALONG AT A RATE OF KNOTS WITH EVERYONE PLAYING FULL ON. IT COULDA BIN A CLASSIC!
THE RECORD LOOKS AND SOUNDS SUPERB. THERE ARE SPINDLE MARKS ON BOTH FACES BUT THE RECORD AND LABEL ARE OTHERWISE UNMARKED. I WOULD GRADE AS EX.
IT WAS RELEASED ON DECCA IN '65 AND THIS COPY IS AN "A" LABEL. THE NUMBER IS F.12107.
