So It's good that SRV has made a version which removes the conflict 😉! I thought at that time Taxman was the Beatles best lyrically. Sums up the tax system of the time perfectly. How would millionairs today like to pay 95% tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too thought the lyrics were good, a heartfelt blast at a ridiculously high tax rate, not sure what the conflict was, apart from an awful version of the song I think SRV just took out the "Taxman Mr Heath Taxman Mr Wilson" bit, politically neutral, though very dated which is probably why he left them out Edited January 9, 2021 by PaulWarning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beatles version is a cover as well. Herb Albert covered the tune a couple of years after them. For some strange (getting old) reason, I thought I had posted a link to 'All My Loving'...(which looks like Lanni Hall on the album cover). That's why I was pointing out that Lanni Hall, one of the singers on 'The Fool on the Hill' cover version, was Herb Albert's wife. Start Again.

They didn’t rock, they grooved, which was the way I was trying to develop my playing at the time. Thanks for reminding me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Great thread! I've got lots to listen to here. I Am The Walrus - Spooky Tooth. The heaviest thing this 8 year old had ever heard. Got To Get You Into My Life - Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers. A pretty straight cover, and not as well produced, but given a far more authentic grind than the polite original could manage. Every Little Thing - Yes. Already mentioned but this really deserves to be heard. Hungry young band, joyful, no rules, no pretension. Vicious. Day Tripper/If I Needed Someone/I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Type O Negative. This is likely to divide opinion (!) but I love it. I Want You could have been written for them.

Interesting that it was produced by Paul McCartney, and recorded very very shortly after the Beatles version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that from Wikipedia: "Bennett got the opportunity to hear the Paul McCartney song "Got to Get You into My Life", which was used on the Revolver album but was never released as a single. Bennett recorded it, with his own composition "Baby Each Day" appearing on the B-side. McCartney produced the session. The record reached No. 6 on the British charts, becoming Bennett's biggest ever hit."

Cliff Bennett had one of the great soul bands playing the pubs and clubs at that time, along with Jimmy James, Geno Washington, Herbie Goins and Zoot Money. Happy days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My PC is particularly slow this evening so when I clicked on the thread there were blank posts...methinks "ah, somebody has cleverly posted the cover of the White Album".
