Posted as a tribute to George Martin, who died today aged 90. As well as his universally-known work with The Beatles, he also produced this back in 1958.
This subversive classic was a big part of my childhood, the B-side of a single which also contained “Balham, Gateway to the South“. I wonder whether anyone would dare make a record like this nowadays.
Since my parents were from the pre rock’n'roll generation (Yes, I really am that old!), this was probably their equivalent to The Sex Pistols’ “Never Mind The Bollocks”.
