    Default Hurdy Gurdy Man

    Nice little note I saw on a site.
    Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan

    Funny I should be asked about "Hurdy Gurdy Man". I spoke to John Paul Jones who played bass on it and was the MD. The guitar player was Alan Parker. American Web sites say that John Bonham and Jimmy Page played on it. This is absolute Bullshit as JPJ said. This is the e-mail sent BY JPJ.

    TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

    I have been contacted by Clem Cattini with regard to Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man
    I would like to confirm that the musicians on the record were as follows

    Donovan Accoustic Guitar
    John Paul Jones Arrangement/Musical Director and Bass Guitar
    Alan Parker Lead (electric) Guitar
    Clem Cattini Drums

    No other musicians were involved in this session
    The session was produced by Mickie Most and engineered by Eddie Kramer.

    Alan Parker also did the fab fuzz guitar solo on the Button Down Brass cover version - I know which version I prefer, though. Sorry Mr Leitch!

    I picked up the brand new remastered CD of the Hurdy Gurdy Man album for £1.50 at the MVC we've-got-to-shift-this-stuff-'cos-we're-going-to-the-wall sale - nice LP.
