They omitted the fadeout, which features a few bars from one of Sibelius' symphonies. The songwriters thought it was in the public domain. It wasn't. The Finnish composer's estate sued and got a chunk of the royalties.
Fantastic wrote song , and sung , it takes me to the single ! Good days , but Aaaaaggh the lead singers hair ?? On his forehead, is it glued there ? And no sight of Tony ???
They did what they were told--don't distract from the band. :) To be fair, it's a moody song and they were probably thinking of their own high school crushes.
As opposed to doing what while in a TV studio, in which they are watching a band lip-sync the vocals and pretend to play their unplugged electric instruments?
Not done on the record by the bloke singing/miming here though. Tony Burrows (Flowerpot Men/Edison Lighthouse/Brotherhood of Man/White Plains/Pipkins) did the lead vocal for the record and what you hear here.
Because he neither was interested nor had the time for touring, and preferred studio work. When this became a hit, the producers needed a live act and formed a band with musicians from (f.i.) Edison Lighthouse, the Searchers and The Flowerpot Men. So these guys also did the tv work and we see them here.
@@purselady2 that record was studio recorded with an orchestra, backing singers, and all sorts, probably took a long time, alive attempt would be lame ,
@@ICantStopMakingNoise I think it IS Tony in this video. He's definitely lipsynching but it looks like every picture of Tony I've ever seen. What at incredible voice!
that’s del john singing lead in the video. wikipedia has a decent article about the first claas that explains why the people on the recording that charted aren’t the same people who toured: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Class
Lip syncing, this isn't the band that played and sung. They were just fronting for a session band. 70`s studio-based band featuring Tony Burrows (lead vocals) ,Chas Mills & John Carter who had a Worldwide hit in 1974 with Beach Baby. The above 3 musicians had no interest in undertaking any live performances so they recruited 5 other guys to perform most live appearances. The 5 guys in the "live" band never appeared on any of the band`s studio recordings.
Burrows sang lead on the recrd, but i have a hard time seeing him in this lead singer -- maybe he had split by this time and they had this guy lip sync it. I've seen this guy on other videos and he;s not Burrows -- is he????? Much different face than "Love Grows" videos, where Burrows sang lead, too.
I wish classic songs like these were still played today on you tube radio and tv find these gems❤😊
All you have to do is look for them in the search bar. ❤😉👍
I love it! Great song!!!❤❤❤
I remember spinning this 45 at the house of a girl I was dating back in the 70s, we were both 16 and didn't have another care in the world.
wow, to be alive in the 60's and 70's...
Bloody OATH it was!. I was 16 in 1976, met my Missus, still married, the best, most wonderful times.

Classic summer song

Beach Boys sounding.
Great classic song

SEEMS SINGERS THEN WERE ALOT SLIMMER)
and the audience sat there like being at a Uni lecture

Crusing Redondo, Hermosa, & Manhattan Beach checking out the cute chicks. How fun was it to be a kid in the 70s before our world turned to crap?
Great lead vocal.
Not done on the record by the bloke singing/miming here though. Tony Burrows (Flowerpot Men/Edison Lighthouse/Brotherhood of Man/White Plains/Pipkins) did the lead vocal for the record and what you hear here.
@@martinkelly6709 Who is the Burrows stand-in here?
@@williamevans9426 del john
@@catastrfy Thank you!
Tony Burrows lead singer, again.
Nope
@@alanforrester1401Yep
been watching too much todd in the shadows, havent ya
Why wasnt Tony Burrows in these videos?? They could make a movie about that guy. I dont get it.

@@dirigentmaarten9381 would make a good movie
Well produced with a Flowerpot Man on bass .
Robin Shaw?..
@@jonathanwilkinson1461 and White Plains
Tony Burrows 5 times a one hit wonder.....
That's not Tony Burrows...
@@tankhalffull
It's Tony Burrows singing the lead but the guy miming in this clip is another singer called Del John.
what ever happened to good music now days
Where’s the orchestra?
Their miming to the record.
how can u tell
@@purselady2 that record was studio recorded with an orchestra, backing singers, and all sorts, probably took a long time, alive attempt would be lame ,
@@cloudusterable Also Tony Burrows (Flowerpot Men/Edison Lighthouse/Brotherhood of Man/White Plains/Pipkins) did the lead vocal for the record.
Coz' the guy in the black t-shirt is Del John and not Tony Burrows...unless he's had a head transplant.
The drummer is wearing the same shirt as Derek Longmuir, the drummer for the Bay City Rollers, wore on the album cover of their first album. Huh.
What, is this a catwalk fashion parade?.
Yeah, I just looked at the album.Same picture on the shirt. Derek's shirt had long sleeves instead though.
Poor Street Baby had to drop down to a Benchmark 45 to get the job done just after the end of September.
I was 18.
Bounce music
Royal Blue, White Stars, Red and White Striped Sleeves. Electrical Wholesale might Rock?
Look, if we don't see some reflection, I just blame Richard Feynman? lol
Tony Burrow did the lead vocal on this, not the guy lip synching it in the video :)
Are you sure that isn't Tony?
@@ICantStopMakingNoise I think it IS Tony in this video. He's definitely lipsynching but it looks like every picture of Tony I've ever seen. What at incredible voice!
@@SOLE2SOUL that is not Tony Burrows!!
that’s del john singing lead in the video.

Not on the video
So we all know the Tony Burrows story but unless I'm mistaken doesn't this guy "miss-mime" twice in the first 30 seconds! ??
That was the first thing I noticed, girl next door instead of boy next store.
Great song but the audience looks dead. WTF? hahahahaa
Lip syncing, this isn't the band that played and sung. They were just fronting for a session band. 70`s studio-based band featuring Tony Burrows (lead vocals) ,Chas Mills & John Carter who had a Worldwide hit in 1974 with Beach Baby.

Yes 💯. Not the recording band.
could the audience be any more deadpan? And the camera zoomed in on them, almost to accent it??? Huh? Polite?
Feeling sorry for Sibelius. Must be turning
One hit wonder!
Burrows sang lead on the recrd, but i have a hard time seeing him in this lead singer -- maybe he had split by this time and they had this guy lip sync it. I've seen this guy on other videos and he;s not Burrows -- is he????? Much different face than "Love Grows" videos, where Burrows sang lead, too.
Burrows recorded it but never took it out on the road. This guy is just lip syncing.
DONT SEE ANY SECURITY HOLDING THEM BACK LOL
Very good song. But no live version. Always playback. I guess it's due to the diversity of instruments they used on the original recording.
Let Taylor Swift try something like this and she would be a flop. This era could stand on their own.
True.
Ok, they are obviously lip synching because that singer is NOT Tony Burrows.. Plus where is the horn and string section?
Dead audience!
At least match the audio to the video lol
Probably lip sync because Tony Burrows sang on the record
More lip synching to a track.
It's lame.
It's cheating
It should be illegal.
