Ok...maybe this is more appropriate...

Love the song, ....always wondered how they got that sound back then (a Clavioline?)

Telstar used bass, drums, guitar, clavioline, Lowrey organ, and Joe's modified piano with thumb tacks in the hammers to create its science fiction sound, inspired by the launch of the world's first communications satellite.

The lead guitar in the live version ........stunningly atrocious.

For anyone who gives a crap, here's a recording of Telstar that I made
last year. Includes an authentic Crane Oxford toilet! Also has
Mellotron Combined Brass and Russian Choir.

The Russian Choir sounds good. A nice retro recording. I did a
recording of Telstar last year too. What is it with that tune anyway?
