Topic: The Tremeloes


In the News (Wed 23 Dec 09)

  
  The Tremeloes
The Tremeloes were suddenly booked alongside the Hollies, Paul Jones, and the Spencer Davis Group, where they proceeded to roll over the rest of the show with their sound and style.
The Tremeloes toured America just as the Summer of Love was blossoming and managed to chart their album Here Comes the Tremeloes on that side of the Atlantic, while its U.K. version got to number 15.
The Tremeloes, as it happened, were musically very strong, which was one of the reasons that they survived and thrived across an entire decade of stylistic changes in popular music.

However, this was not because he was thinking of recording a cover of one of Jeff's songs, for the Tremeloes were already a successful band with several chart successes.
The Tremeloes passed on the chance to release any of Jeff's songs, although as fate would have it, they eventually did release their version of Yellow River.
He joined the Tremeloes for a while - a fitting move as the Tremeloes, of all groups, probably come closest to the Christie brand of commercial appeal - and these days tours Europe with his own band, Christie Again.

But the beat mania was subsiding; Poole and Tremeloes split '66; basically a shy man, he could not get another hit, retired to the family butcher shop.

The Tremeloes were a rather faceless group, never quite finding a sound of their own (their two major hits, after all, sound nothing alike), but they stuck around the same musical area, a thoroughly AM pop sensibility that was tempered with a few light touches of the hipper music of the time period.
The Tremeloes were firmly notched on the pop side of the pop-rock continuum, and their inoffensive yet meticulously detailed sound will please devotees of the concurrent sunshine pop and baroque pop movements.
The dreadfully English Tremeloes attempt to duplicate Levi Stubb's souring passion and the precise rhythms of the Funk Brothers, resulting in what might be the exact opposite of soul music.

The sixties had moved on, but the image of the The Tremeloes hadn't in 1966, the still dressed on the type of suits they had been wearing since the early part of the decade.
Poole was seemingly happy for this trend to continue as he had been persuaded that the way forward was in the cabaret circuit and that the age of the group was coming to an end.
The Tremeloes first solo album was released in May 1967 while "Silence Is Golden" was the top of the charts - though it strangely omitted the hit because the LP had already been completed and readied for release.

In 1966, British pop singer Brian Poole separated himself from his backing band the Tremeloes, giving the band a new lease on life as a self-contained entity.
One of the most immediately striking aspects of this release is the tightness of both the band and the arrangements.
At a time when many British pop-rock bands got by on charm and energy onstage, the Tremeloes were clearly a well-oiled machine, with gorgeous, pitch-perfect vocal harmonies and expertly executed guitar lines generating a sparkling live sound.

An astute follow-up with Silence Is Golden, previously the flip-side of the Four Seasons single Rag Doll, proved a perfect vehicle for the Tremeloes soft harmonic style and gave them their only number one.

 Silence Is Golden by The Tremeloes Songfacts
The group evolved from Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, and were signed by Decca Records when the label rejected The Beatles.
And there's another original version of this song (in a faster beat) recorded by a south african band called "The Square Set" in 1967.
The Tremeloes, however, also recorded another Four Seasons some time later called "Rag Doll", which was the b-side of the Four Seasons' original "Silence is Golden."

Decca exec Dick Rowe made that horribly embarrassing decision based on the fact that the Trems were, like Decca, based out of London and the Beatles were still living kilometers away in bloody awfully industrial, teeth-in-your-soup Liverpool.
The Tremeloes didn't have a Lennon/McCartney songwriting force in their ranks but apparently knew a great pop tune when they heard it.
And in 1967, when the Beatles were inventing and redefining everything in pop, the Tremeloes snagged "Here Comes My Baby" from the Cat, jumpstarted its rhythm a bit and made a now lost classic that calls to mind "Tequila," and therefore images of Paul Reubens, on a table, dancing.

 Jimmy Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After brief stints with Carter-Lewis and the Southerners, Mike Hurst's group, and Mickey Finn and the Blue Men, Page committed himself to full-time session work.
His studio output in 1963 included Brian Poole and The Tremeloes' cover of "Twist and Shout", Heinz's "Just Like Eddie" and in 1964, the Rolling Stones' "Heart of Stone", Marianne Faithfull's "As Tears Go By", The Nashville Teens' "Tobacco Road", Dave Berry's "The Crying Game", and Lulu's hit "Shout".
In 1965, Page was hired by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham to act as house producer for the newly-formed Immediate Records label, which also allowed him to play on tracks by John Mayall, Nico, and Eric Clapton.

Originally billed as Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, the group were signed to a record label by somebody who they had more potential than another then-obscure group, the Beatles.
It turned out to be the wrong decision for him and he faded into obscurity, but the remaining Tremeloes went on to bigger and better success, finding a new lead singer but also developing harmonies.
You can find a single CD containing all the essential Tremeloes hits, but this collection shows that they were much more than mere hit-makers.
