Title: SUGAR BABY LOVE
(3:35)

Description:

A fantastic rarity from the 70's classic glam rockers THE RUBETTES. This one sided acetate plays lovely with only slight surface noise on the intro!

In 1973, Wayne Bickerton, then head of A&R at Polydor Records, wrote four songs in an "American 50's type" sound with co-writer Tony Waddington. A group of session musicians and singers were gathered in the Apple studios and recorded a demo of these tracks. Three of the session musicians were then asked to form the beginnings of a band, and with that John Richardson, Alan Williams and Pete Arnesen were the start of The Rubettes. John got some musician friends to round out the group, with Mick Clarke, Bill Hurd and Tony Thorpe making the original group of six. Of the Original Rubettes line-up only John Richardson, Alan Williams and Pete Arnesen participated in the recording of "Sugar Baby Love" with the falsetto lead vocal performed by Paul Da Vinci (legal name: Paul Prewer). With contractual obligations preventing Prewer from joining the band when it was formed, he never toured with the original band.

Although not generally associated as Merseybeat, Tony Waddington and Wayne Bickerton(both from Liverpool) had both played in Hamburg and the Liverpool Cavern as members of Lee Curtis & The All Stars and later with the Pete Best Band and where associates of The Beatles!

The Acetate was also cut by the legendary George 'Porky' Peckham the lacquer-cutting and mastering engineer at Apple Studios

Record: VG++(only minimal light surface marks)   Sleeve:  ONLY Generic White Sleeve/No outer sleeve
