Beechwood Park- The Zombies (Guitar and Bass Cover)

[@sammyfata-qb7tf]

Ok, Ok fine - I'll listen to the Zombies' discography

[@jckistan]

Would've never expected to see a Zombies cover on here, especially Beechwood Park being here before being on ManWithNoExpression's channel! Underrated track from the 60s, always glad to see it get some love

[@HandOfDoom9349]

Fantastic cover of a song from one of the greatest albums of the decade. Ever, in fact.

[@BobbyNutt]

Wow! I bought this album on vinyl when I was 16 back in 2002 and can’t believe how underrated it is! This on care of cell 44 are my favourite tunes! Nice one Sam!

[@swatprof]

Wow, wasn’t expecting this one. Wonderful!

[@marylouraygarcia401]

This is just gold! Would be wonderful to have more Zombies Covers! Tell Her No or Nothing Changed, Whenever you're ready to do it!

[@RobertH1971]

I haven't heard this song in many years. I'm glad you've brought it back for me.

[@xavi.salgad0]

Chris White and Macca made me want to play bass. More Zombies covers please, this was superb.

[@bettyswunghole3310]

I don't really know anything about The Zombies, but I'll look into them after seeing this vid!

[@mstrammd]

Odessey and Oracle is a must.

[@mstrammd]

Very cool, Sam!! Odessey and Oracle is an amazing record that was essentially overlooked aside from the single “Time Of The Season”. Fortunately, it eventually was “discovered”. A number of recent TV shows have used “Care of Cell” and “This Will Be our Year” and brought this classic to the ears of a new generation.

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

A stellar cover! One of the best albums of the 60s and that Rick is gorgeous!

[@perfectpiano1871]

Amazing tone and bass work!

[@allanmargolin]

Freakin awesome Sam. Picking so many great songs. I am learning so much just by watching. So hard to learn these proper but now I feel like I’m back in the 60s studying the concerts! 🤘 🎸 you rule bro!!!

[@The_Walrus_Was_Paul_1984]

Was listening to Odessey & Oracle last night, great job.

[@BeatlesWeezerFan1995]

I only listened to the album because of Parlogram’s video on it yesterday

[@The_Walrus_Was_Paul_1984]

@ same.

[@BeatlesWeezerFan1995]

@@The_Walrus_Was_Paul_1984 it was alright, almost as good as Sgt. Pepper but it doesn’t matter, Rubber Soul is my favorite

[@mantoabstracto]

I love this bass sound

[@ParrotGaming123]

Sounds awesome!

[@bojackhorseman5367]

wowee that Rickenbacker sounds fantastic!

[@brandonkew9122]

Great stuff. I really love the tone of your bass, very 60s

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!

[@JacobKMusics]

Nice Rickenbacker. That Jacob K was very kind to lend it to you.

[@sampopkin]

Indeed it was nice of him!

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

That is an INCREDIBLE album. Great post!

[@dylancameron803]

So good! Great to see a cover of this hauntingly nostalgic gem by the Zombies 🧟

[@kirillzhuravlev1620]

One of my favourite songs!)

[@timetraveler8777]

Great one ! The Zombies are underrated, Odessey and Oracle is an amazing album

[@Yardbird1968]

Marvellous cover❤

[@BluesBreaker-24]

Awesome cover! I love all your vids and cant wait for more Cream covers!

[@JamesFalcon-wo6jn]

This is amazing! You should cover tell her no or she’s not there

[@JDrevolver66]

Wonderful selection, wonderful playing, and a wonderful Rose Morris Ric!

[@JDrevolver66]

(I suspect there are some early Who tunes with this guitar/bass combo too?)

[@sampopkin]

@@JDrevolver66yes!

[@mkruup]

Delicious!

[@87camro]

Zombies “summertime “ is a must listen

[@nandokinks]

Wooow... you nailed it Sam!!! The Zombies is one of my favorite bands ever. Keep doing your great job!!! ✌️😎🎸🎶

[@hobbayne]

I read that this was the first session by a non EMI act to record at Abbey Road. I believe this was recorded in mid 67. The Zombies were signed to CBS in the UK. Apple acts like badfinger and Mary Hopkin followed suit and recorded there in 69.

[@sampopkin]

Didn’t know that!

[@abatista78]

Odessey and Oracle is a classic album beside Pet Sounds, Pepper and Gates Of Dawn

[@mulcairs123]

Awesome Sam! More Zombies covers please, Odyssey & Oracle can go head-to-head with just about any Beatles album from that time. I love Jacob’s Rick too, is that an old one from the 60’s or a reissue?

[@sampopkin]

Thanks! I agree. The Rickenbacker is a reissue from 1996

[@Nolosépowéa]

Could you do a cover of I Got My Mojo Working by The Zombies?

[@Toastybunz03]

Please more Zombies 🙏 😩

[@magraretsbane6274]

It’s always great to see the non-Beatles stuff sprinkled into your uploads. I’ve noticed in the last few videos that it looks like there’s some dark colored Gibson semi-hollow over your right shoulder, am I missing something or is that a guitar we haven’t been introduced to yet?

[@sampopkin]

It’s an Epiphone sheraton black 335 guitar. Haven’t used it yet but it’s great

[@thomasriley5830]

Love getting some non-Beatles stuff, have you ever heard the album S.F sorrow Is Born by The Pretty Things? Amazing guitar and bass playing, peak psyche-rock

[@sampopkin]

Yes! The first rock opera

[@ibnoelfikra]

underrated band

[@joshilynhoisington]

Do you have any kind of artificial muting going on under the bridge cover? I replicate Beach Boys tracks (see my channel if you like) and I'm pretty obsessed with the technical details of bass muting and this sounds really close to some stuff I'm trying to dial in.

[@sampopkin]

I’m using my original 70’s bridge cover that came with this 78 bass. It has little foam mute strips under it

[@joshilynhoisington]

@@sampopkin Thanks! -- individual strips for each string or one long one? And how close to the edge of the cover are they adhered?

[@sampopkin]

@@joshilynhoisington i wanna say two slim strips. they dont mute too much but just enough

[@justfelix6171]

What’s with the Aaug chord on the bass at the very end?

[@sampopkin]

check out the real song. youll hear the organ and vocals descend down to an A over F

[@georgem.8951]

Hey Sam, have you ever listened to Todd Rundgren or his group Utopia? Great guitarist and producer that is rather underrated but there is a Utopia album called Deface The Music that is a homage to The Beatles. Every song sounds just like a Beatles song.

[@sampopkin]

I actually haven’t but I know he was involved with the Beatles indirectly in their solo careers

[@santiago._.7228]

Are you planning to do any Beach Boys covers?

[@sampopkin]

Yes!

[@LenniMacca]

Sam! Nothing related to the video but what’s your favorite song by blur?

[@sampopkin]

Probably Beetlebum or Coffee & TV

[@LenniMacca]

@@sampopkin great choices! Btw Awesome cover as always!

[@juancortina7476]

tame impala? i love it

[@coreyoffman8739]

You play your les paul and Stratocaster standing up at times don’t you? And what if the fender precision bass was played while standing up Also is that thing on the bass removable

[@thewhaleking]

This is great! Btw just apologise for my silly online behaviour of spamming about ppl

[@jackforman4307]

imo a major difference between the average 60's band and the beatles is that the beatles would've taken a song like this and added an extra layer to it whether it was a key change or solo. I love this album and this song but it isnt as interesting as a beatles tune.

[@sampopkin]

I’d have to disagree, I don’t think the zombies are an ordinary 60’s band. At least not odessey and oracle. That album, pepper and piper at the gates of dawn were all made at EMI in ‘67 and use some revolutionary sounds and techniques
