| EPISODE SIX-Here There And Everywhere/Mighty Morris Ten U.S. Warner Brothers 5851 1966 |
U.K.60's pop/harmony sextet Episode Six American debut was this September 1966 release (back in England it was their third single, being issued a month prior as Pye 7N 17147) of a Fab Four track from the newly released "Revolver" long player. Episode Six are of course well known due to the fact that their lead singer Ian Gillian and bassist Roger Glover later moved on to Deep Purple.
I'm fairly bored with covers of "Here There And Everywhere" (I think my favorite is by The Fourmost).
This one isn't half bad though, the vocals are tight (harmony vocals were the bands specialty) and the musical backing is interesting because it's initially very basic (guitar, bass, Farfisa and drums) and eventually some very cool baroque woodwinds come in making it sound a bit unique.
"C'mon everybody grab your automobile we're goin' down to the Harrow Road, I got a little old Morris and it's doin' fine although it's ninety six years old..".
The musical track (including plenty of Californian sounding "Ooo wahhh ooo" backing vocals) is a catchy American surf music sound perfectly executed and the lyrics are brilliant.
