Fooling around in the studio (as usual) for this 1968 No.1 charts hit (in various European countries): The Scaffold (including Paul McCartney's brother Mike McGear) plus Graham Nash, Elton John backing vocals. Jack Bruce, bass. Sheer Liverpool poetry: Lily had invented that dubious "medical compound". The lyrics of this song humorously describe the "efficacious" cures that medical compound has brought about. Sometimes the results were not as beneficial as wished-for...
The results for "The Scaffold" were overwhelming: over 1 million copies were sold.
Curiosity from Germany. Big time "Twist-Epidemie" in the early 60ies. Those were the days when the Krauts were slim. Vocalist/guitar player Otto "Fats" Ortwein was promoted then as the German Fats Domino. Funny. Fat sound! Come on, let's twist again, like we did when we were younger....
A little bit crazy this one. Listen to the "Forward March" A1. They must have been totally drunk, as they recorded this one. When they returned fom the Hotel Bar, they couldn't find their own instruments anymore...? Never mind. Yes, humor also belongs in Jazz music...
Booklet of "People, Hell & Angels" LP: look at these two policemen on the left side of the foto. They had the big chance to sit in the first row. Hey, they are sitting. On chairs!!! Comfortable. Look at their faces: they can't believe what they see. And hear...
Front cover photo by Norman Seef was not sponsored by "Swiss Emmentaler Cheese Union" because the piece of cheese shown is not premium quality. Back cover photo is not suitable for Swiss cheese promotion in USA.
A little bit of Emmentaler advertising here: https://www.emmentaler.ch/wp-content...e_2992-lpr.jpg
The US-Album of Spencer Davis was recorded at The Record Plant, Los Angeles.
The glass on front cover photo is empty, this record in contrast was filled extra rich by those studio cracks: Lee Sklar b, Jim Keltner dr, Larry Knechtel p, "Sweets" Harry Edison trp/fl horn, Sneaky Pete Kleinow steel g, Gib Gilbeaux fiddle.

The best Led Zeppelin-cover-band and their version of "Your time is gonna come" is better than the original (Cit. Robert Plant). The booklet is the funniest Monopoly-version.
And the main point: it's all good clean fun!
"Finally thanks to Remy Martin" Cognac for saving my life by making the bloody stuff so expensive" (Liner note by PT on inner sleeve).
Some kind of strange humor: "Dead Skunk" A1. Not funny: the burnt Gibson Guitar "Red Guitar" A2! Kate is right when she says "You are a fool..."!
Hallo la France: qui est le roi de l'amour? Who is the groovy "king" of love? Carole Bayer is the composer of the song "Groovy kind of love". Kind or king, that's the question. Everything goes since the beat goes on.....Bonsoir la France!
The fittingly grandiose finish to their career: after 14 seconds of silence there's this cheeky "hidden track" (not listed on the original LP) after "The End" on album "Abbey Road". After Ringo's only drum solo of his recording era with the Beatles and three extended guitar solos by 1.) Paul 2.) George 3.) John, reflecting their personalities, we may listen to the Beatles' shortest song, Paul's definitive small grand finale:
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah,
Someday I'm going to make her mine.
Still crazy (The Queen and her husband) after all these years....
"...but your daddy don't know". Complicated family affairs in Trinidad.
