Adam
Faith – Lonely
Pup / Greenfinger
45rpm
vinyl single, UK, 1960
Parlophone
Dreadful
Christmas single from the genius John Barry and Buddy Holly obsessed
Adam Faith. But the B-side Greenfinger
is amazing. Mostly due to John Barry's arrangement, which is hynotic
with dark overtures. Faith does his best Holly vocal imitation, but
of course it is not his voice that makes the record. This is totally
the work of the arranger, and it overcomes the singer. Also I am
very much attracted to the Parlophone record label design. The logo
of the name is very cartoonish, and I tend to think about that than
the music. Nevertheless for the Barry obsessive, this record is of
course a must.
