The Tornadoes - Love & Fury download song

THIS WAS MY FIRST FROM THE TORNADOES.

the first and the best

For my money this is far better than Telstar. The b side 'Popeye Twist' is great too.

a brilliant first release, drivin powerful, shame it wasn't a hit, sublime production from Joe Meek

I am 60 today.. I was 3 years old when this great group did Love and Fury, telstar and so on..... brilliant.. thank you guys.. still listening your music !!

Well I never! How many other 'original' members of the band aren't playing on this recording? It's a shame that there wasn't a photographer around at that time to (photographically) record this line-up of the band

BETTER than Telstar in my book and in my TOP 10 recordings of all time..... Joe Meek is a GOD in music history

I had USA Telstar album when I was 10 yrs old. I lost it many years ago. I have not heard this favorite in over 40 years. Thank you for placing it on here. I thought no one would ever remember the Thunder birds. I'm glad I was wrong. Many memories with this music.

I think all the others are on it. Telstar also featured a largely uncredited Geoff Goddard on clavioline. In fact, Roger's organ performance - which was shown on their filmed performances - is barely audible on the record. It's Geoff's clavioline that forms the centre of the number. But I guess that's showbiz. Whether Geoff and/or the clavioline are on THIS piece, I know not. Anyone?

Yes, he did, check out his website, there's plenty of information about him in there. w w w normanhale c o m

Wow real outer space atmosphere in here! Awesome song!

" Joe Meek decided that the backing band should make their first record, which would stake their claim as challengers to The Shadows. In tribute to Billy (Fury), Joe wrote Love And Fury, and named the backing group The Tornados, from a line in a John Leyton B-side. (Line-up 1) George Bellamy (rhythm guitar), Heinz Burt (bass guitar), Alan Caddy (lead guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Norman Hale (organ, not in tour group, added for Love And Fury)." From Billy Fury - The Story

Back in the day (1961?)I was a Tornados fan from hearing this on fading radio Luxembourg bought all their singles and most of their LPs. Fast forward 55 odd years who's playing at my daughter's wedding George Bellamy and "Lyrics" small world lol

WoW, is that good or what?

I heard it on Radio Luxemburg MW 208 metres in the beginning of the 60ies.. shure bring back memories.
