Yep - thats it. A note with the re-issue of the Younger Than Yesterday album says that the crowd screams on `So you...` was recorded at a Beatles show in Bournemouth in 1965. Derek Taylor provided it , having gone from doing PR work with the Fabs to doing the same for the McGuinn and co.

Slight quibble , though ; Mark Lewisohn's excellent Beatle books doesn't list a B'mouth show for the Beatles in 1965 ; he has them last playing there - in a bill with the then unknown Kinks - in August 1964.

Whatever - Mike - a question please!!!

"...Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean..."

Think you got the right song. Now, what about the album and writer?

Correct song IP - to keep the game rolling along you can ask a question unless someone can come in with the album name before you.

I don't think so, but it's not him anyway.

OK, a hint : the guy released two critically-acclaimed albums in US and UK. (actually the second, already out in US, is to be released in UK in August.)

An this is how he is described in Amazon.com :
"The 21-year old Bergen, Norway native recalls artists like Jeff Buckley, Elvis Costello, Beck, Brian Wilson, Rufus Wainwright, Burt Bacharach and Cole Porter." :shock:

What film soundtrack featured the incredible combination of Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker and Taj Mahal (supported by Tim Drummond, Earl Palmer & Roy Rogers)? That is - they all play together , not separate tracks by them.
