Jimmy Page : "There was quite a buzz in the Number Two Studio at Decca as Brenda Lee was the first American to come to the Decca studio and try their luck at recording in England. ‘Is It True’ gave me a good opportunity to employ a DeArmond tone pedal. The musicians definitely gave it their collective best that day." tinyurl.com/tg724gk

Wow I was there at the studio when this was recorded at Decca Records, it was an amazing night full of laughter and fun, and Jimmy Page was a young recording session player, I feel so privileged to remember it and Mickie Most had the entire studio on the backing vocals,including me, and his unforgettable advice was"take a walk down Brixton High Street" and sing it like you mean it ... racist now, in the days before PC

Brenda wasn't able to kick ass because he had to be the cute girl next door here. In England she could do her thing for real. And until the Beatles, America was pretty dumb when it came to some of the REAL music that came out of our own country. Just because it was the "wrong color" for mass market radio. It was bullshit. Throw racism out the window - those cats from the 40s and 50s who formed the foundation of rock n roll had great, great music that everyone lost out on.

Your list looks comprehensive so it could well have been Walthamstow Granada. Both venues are in East London and we attended their concerts regularly; including two Beatles tours in 1963. They were third on the bill at East Ham to Chris Montez and Johnny Tillotson before topping the bill at Walthamstow a few months later. Brenda was the best live act that I saw in the sixties. She came on like a little doll but by the time she left the stage she was covered in perspiration and her bouffant hairdo was all over the place. Sounds incorporated were an excellent backing group with Major West playing the Boots Randolph Saxophone breaks exuberantly. This is the group that opened for the Beatles when they toured the USA

Henry Byrd : According to an interview with Bobby Graham elsewhere on KZbin, this version was a recording of the musicians goofing around while they were waiting for some studio equipment to be fixed. As it happened, the gear was fixed and the producer said record while they were jamming. This turned into a one take B side, so it’s not as if much time was spent on the arrangement.

@youoverzealtube Thanks, I found the Bobby Graham page and updated the description with the rest of the players. It's always been a missing part of the discography. His story about this song being selected on the spot for the B-side probably isn't right. Brenda said otherwise in her memoir. One-take? Maybe. Brenda can sing songs perfectly on the first try. Maybe Page could have used another take, though : - )

@@SGBARNARD That's correct. The "bit" was this: Brits were driven on stage in small sports cars - MGs and such while Brenda was put in a huge American auto - a Lincoln Continental, maybe. The guy escorting her out of the car couldn't get the door open! Probably they didn't understand the electric locks. So there was a delay and many performers would be a little unnerved by the situation, but BL was unfazed. She hit the high note at the end of "All the Way" perfectly and there was a standing ovation.

+MichaelHansenFUN Not on anything by her old record company. MCA Nashville is totally clueless. However, it is on ACE Records "Queen Of Rock'n'Roll" acerecords.co.uk/queen-of-rocknroll and Bear Family's "Brenda Lee Rocks" www.amazon.com/Brenda-Lee-Rocks/dp/B004TNZV9Y .

this came by accident according to Bobby Graham drummer

In my opinion, this seems highly unlikely. Graham gave a different story on his old website. Brenda met with Most to pick out "Is It True?" as the "A" side. It is hard to beleive that they did not choose a "B" at that time, prior to the session.

@@oldermusiclover Yes, but he said something different on his website which I quoted in the description. Additionally, Brenda, in her book, stated that she wanted to be the first female to record the song. I don't fault Bobby G, he played in a thousand sessions and could not be expected to recall everything perfectly. SG Bernard also posted here with her recollection of Mickey's instructions at the time. This also indicates they knew what was on the docket.

He used a regular drum kit, I believe. Just with a sledge hammer technique. Wrote a book in 2004, "The Session Man" which is way too expensive if you can even find it. Graham, Page and "Big Jim" Sullivan, all on this recording, played on hundreds of records in the mid-sixties.

@@SuperBodd - I suppose everybody's remembrances could be wrong. It was a long time ago! My video could be perpetuating a myth. For instance, the website with the list may have trusted me as their source. However, besides S G Bernard, Bobby Graham also had this recollection of the session on his website: "Some acts stood out, either because they put so much into the recordings. ... Brenda Lee really did perform. Mickie Most produced that record ('Is It True') at Decca, they wanted this English sound. John Carter and Kenny Lewis wrote the song, and also did backing vocals. Jimmy Page and Jim Sullivan were on guitar, Alan Weighell was on bass, Stan Barrett on percussion and myself on drums.The arranger was Reg Guest." So, with two eyewitnesses, I have to stick with Page. Still, I appreciate your comment and will keep it in mind should any other evidence emerge.
