Telstar - Kevin Romang - 'Tornados' cover

- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2019
- 'Telstar' was released in 1962 by the English band 'The Tornados'. It was written by production genius Joe Meek and was a massive hit at the time. It featured an early synth (most likely) a Clavioline for the lead. I used a 'Stylophone' with added effects for this cover as both instruments sound quite similar. Hope some might enjoy my version! (I created the backing track using the Tyros 5 arranger keyboard)

Well done 😅 sound great. You make 76 years old very happy.
This is one of the very few covers that actually managed to recreate the clavioline sound.
Covers are not meant to be copies.
@@thursoberwick1948 that's true, but many Telstar covers are just copies with a bad keyboard sound.
@@SolarisUrbinoFanAgree.
Great to see a left handed player, gives hope for the rest of us.
I used to believe it was kinder to leave left-handed babies out in the snow and not feed them. But I have to say, this video does make me think we may have been a bit harsh
And me as a lefty.
Well played. The original record turned me onto loving pop music back in the early sixties.
I used to play this all the time on the stylophone when I was a kid, it was like it was made for it.
This cover is OUTSTANDING!!! Great work! Just as good as the original!
i remember getting one of the stylophone they was the thing to have as a kids in the 60s
That old Stylophone sounds amazing for this great tune. Great production Kevin.
Wonderful. Splendid melody. You´re a brilliant musician.
An excellent performance. The Stylophone sound suits Telstar perfectly.
Stylophon ein Teil meiner Jugend das hatte ich auch einmal.👍
This is GREAT! Also one of my favorite songs.....
If the Shadows and Tornados had collaborated on this track it would have sounded like this. Very good. Sounds great.
Great Cover of a classic, Really good and you you make that guitar tone sing man, Well Done.
This was my dads favourite song, He heard it when it first came out on the radio but didn’t know the name of it, he sang it over and over to himself and stayed awake all night until he could get to the record shop the next day and sang it for the girl behind the counter, she then told him what it was and so he bought 2 copies of it just in case one got damaged.
Wow! You’ve got the sound just perfect. Very nostalgic melody.
Beautiful music never gets tired of listening over and over 😊
Superb sound, and playing -quite similar to the Claviolline, although a more limited range and played with the stylus rather than fingers. Much better than some of the re-recordings made under the Tornados name.
Well i would never have known it was a Stylophone Kevin.
Superb recording and very much enjoyed my friend.
Cheers!
Geoff.
Cheers Geoff....I had to use many effects to get that sound, but in the end I got to work!....take care...
A superb rendition,you have created an amazing sound from the Stylophone I would never have thought it was possible.
Hi Kevin,
This is an excellent version of a great old tune ... I really enjoyed it. Congratulations on your mastery of the Stylophone and thanks for your terrific upload!
Cheers, James
Thanks James!.....I remember first using my teachers original stylophone as a boy many years ago... as our class toured the streets playing Christmas carols!! I had numb fingers from the cold lol!....take care....
Oh you absolute genius you!!!! Even though this was before my time, I grew up in an era where just because something happened before I was born, I was still inquisitive enough to want to know about it! This has to be the very best cover version of Telstar I have ever heard!
When I saw the Tornados at Portsmouth Guild Hall, back then, it was played on a Vox 'Continental' organ! I do like a good rumba... the back bone of most popular music over the years!
Stupendous version! Stylophone? I never even hoid of it!
absolutely brilliant!
Sublime, I love it and listen to it weekly - thanks for sharing!
Did Rolf Harris star in the Stylaphone sdverts way back when-I must say this sounded so good :-}

A brilliant cover - as usual, Kevin. I'm sure Joe is looking down and smiling at your talent with the Stylophone. I had one back in the day, but was not in your class with the stylus!
I just watched a film about Joe on youtube......very interesting....he was ahead of his time for sure....take care

I remeber those stylophones from (I think) the 70's - and actually, it's not massively different from the original tone - well done!

many thanks Giovanni!
Превосходно!
Thanks for your comment!.....best wishes Igor....
Brill 👍🏻 ☺
Cool
I've still got my stylophone I'm going to have a go and see if I can play Telstar
Great playing and sound!! I recreate Clavioline sounds with my old analog Casio CT410V, the only one model with VCF/LFO sliders on the panel. No digital samplers or VA/FM synths can do this sound ;-)
Super
Hi could you tell me how you merged the stylophone and the guitar in the vid please. How did you blend the video.. Thanks
So very cool!jk
Wow that’s brilliant ... I’ll bet Rolf Harris would be very pleased with that effort... PS can yer guess what it is yet?
Btw... I noticed one thing. That is you have played the whole song in the original key of A and D, but in the video, you've played the notes of the key of G in the stylophone throughout the song regardless of the key changes...
😮😮😊😊
