Judie Tzuke 1991

This is the talented Judie Tzuke recording "God Only Knows" at Big Ocean Studios with
Mike Paxman and Paul Muggleton for her 1991 album "Left Hand Talking".
This is all I have of this programme.

The best female voice to ever come out of the UK. Singing here the best song ever written. This is history on video.

[@gillianroffey4914]

And on release it was slaughtered by reviewers. Peasants. The video is beautiful too.

[@richl]

I loved this ... I would love her to know that she has been with me all my life since WTTC in 1980 .. ever album every soaring note ! The biggest thanks and love.

[@sommy38]

genius ...all of the team ...judie is a real true vocalist , she sits beside her individuality and she is amazing ....i want her heard at my funeral

[@tomski787]

Two great producers with the superbIy talented Ms. Tzuke. Oh, my god, I wish I'd been there...

[@The4thDensity]

She looks absolutely gorgeous with her hair up like that. Phew!

[@Starchaser63]

Nice , what a Vocalist..😊

[@DavidMartin-yo6me]

JT along with Kate Bush are two of Britain's finest!!

[@raycimino]

Not only does Jude still sing very very well, bear in mind she writes or co-writes all her songs too, very talented lady.

[@kevinfirth226]

I love this song and of course Jude !

[@guitarman592000]

Fascinating and Fabulous in equal parts !

[@lammy1100]

Beautiful and talented

[@rodgold]

This video footage is so important and Vintage !! I feel emotionally honoured & proud to see how we use to write songs back in the day!! To this day i still have my atari 1040st still gathering dust with a hand full files !! Thanks for sharing this !! best wishes RodGold :)

[@1390arosa]

just heard her on Radio 2 singing live today - still sounds great.

[@soundseeker63]

Very interesting video. I suppose all those tape reels are completely obsolete now and most of the switches, knobs and sliders would now appear on a laptop screen. I met Judie and her daughter Bailey earlier this year, both thoroughly nice people, very talkative and down to earth and still putting on a really great show!

[@normasnockers323]

Thanks for this shippy, i was so in love with her when i was young, i used to ski to her music on my sony walkman. Thanks for the memories.

[@LearnPermaculture]

Wow! Great to see with so little of Judie's history on video. In retrospect, those heavily synthesised albums are my least favourite of hers, though there are still some great songs on them. Yes, these days all kinds of things can be done on computers and vocal fixes are common (even live), but having seen Judie a good few times over the years I can tell you that she's one of the few that really CAN sing... Hope someone can find the rest of this...

[@pinkyman5155]

Very interesting thanks 😀

[@robertborich4404]

She is so cute in this video.The Beach Boys' version is a classic but I love her version of God Only Knows too.

[@sommy38]

such a talent

[@slimwellie]

wow how cleaver, one of my fav albums of hers.

[@pinkyman5155]

At the end she looks very much like blonde in Vicar of Dibley, beautiful x

[@alfieb2204]

Loved Judie's voice since "Stay with me till dawn". Then I found this video piece about 4/5 years ago and loved the way it details how this track was recorded. But I've always wondered ...is there a part 2 video available? I'd love to see the finished piece.

[@shippy555]

Thanks for that. I hope so too. D.S.

[@littlequacka]

Bloody hell...an Atari!

[@josephbusuttil3030]

I still have mine ... heheheh

[@irishcountrygirl78]

Good ole dayz...

[@Theineluctable_SOME_CANT]

Cool!

[@guernseyali67]

Love this

[@philphillips1517]

God Juddie !

[@pamelagreen6590]

this is so beautiful

[@_mykyta_1197]

mind blowing even in 2022

[@GoodoldKO]

I wish someone would upload the 12" version of this song- Love it! This is the best KZbin clip I've ever seen- thanks!

[@shippy555]

Thanks for your comment, Kevin. I don't remember anything about it. I can only guess that, being into studio recording and liking Judie Tzuke, I must have come across it, whilst channel hopping and quickly bunged a tape in the machine. Wish I had more info..sorry. regards D.S.

[@janinapalmer8368]

Aaaahhh the good old days with RtR recorders ...

[@Doubrelle]

great to hear Judes wonderful vocals that survive despite the pretty grim 90's production - sorry lads!

[@MrStupidHead]

not kiddin. that chorus (effect) is hideous. Maybe if you took all that shit off, and then recorded a real drummer in a real room, you'd have a timeless track. the vocal talent is not getting its just desserts.

[@Fexobs]

You had a perfect vocal and you fucked it up. A voice like that doesn't need anything.

[@MrMjp58]

She was/is fantastic. A truly great voice and utterly charming. I always thought her albums were really well produced, but preferred her earlier work - before synths etc took over.

[@gillianroffey4914]

Listen to the post 92 stuff up til present. She's still amazing.

[@petertrotman7708]

Tape.... 🤯

[@shippy555]

Yes! Who remembers that?

[@TheKonga88]

She looks pissed off because she was a pure raw talent and technology was ruining it!

[@DaveMcleanJr]

I doubt that. Mike Paxman and Paul Muggleton have been long-time collaborators with Judie Tzuke and integral to her sound. She no doubt completely trusted them. Also, this was 1991 when production and technology was starting to dominate all popular music. They would have all been embracing stuff like sampling, as were many other bands.

[@Fexobs]

Just record her voice properly and stop fucking around. Horrible production.

[@batlin]

Nice, he's using an Atari ST!

[@josephbusuttil3030]

So WHERE is PART 2 ... Would anyone have a link to the 2nd part of this ? Thank You

[@shippy555]

Once I saw that this was on (the tv), I quickly put a tape in the recorder and pressed record. That would have meant that I would've managed to get all of the rest of it. This was just one item on a programme that was made up of several short pieces of many arty subjects. In other words, that was the end of the Judy Tzuke section and after the adverts would have been part 2 of the "main" programme and would've been something else. I know I would've not missed any of the Judy Tzuke section. The fact that this piece is quite hurried(it moves along at quite a pace) and they end up playing/showing the video of the final recording, sort of verifies this.. Rest assured (apart from the start) there is no other parts to the Judy Tzuke piece. Hope I've explained this correctly. Probably, after the break, they show viewers how to paint the Mona Lisa or something!

[@mensamoo]

)Oh, how twee is this? Who wrote the script?? If we all had that equipment how easy would it be? Gimme a break. putting chorus and flanger on a voice makes anydoy sound good. Money for rope. Piss easy. And I love judie tzuke.

[@GRANDOVERLORD77]

(Angrily)Where the hell is part ll????

[@sevenantony7376]

the technology is killing the music. The video is cold

[@shippy555]

I know what you mean. Didn't appear to be much fun for any of them. Unless they thought they should "act" like this while they were being filmed. (videoed).

[@10Possum10]

god hasnt technology come a long way since 1991 lol

[@shippy555]

Not ALL her songs. This is a Beach Boys song.

[@JohnDoe-ji8dq]

2019,who ?.

[@mensamoo]

love her, love the song, but there's some bollocks here. They sound as if they were reading from scripts. At no point did 'Jude' say "Am I singing this or the effin chorus effect??"

[@MrBazzabee]

Have 2 agree with mensamoo so much..... please don't get me wrong---as much as I love Judes voice,face and physique (circa 1985) This clip only goes 2 show that you can make singing stars (vocally) out of my dear ol'mum and my my jack russell dog,,BASIL !!

[@joestraughan3944]

Such a great voice. Judie should have had a much greater career with the right management. I could have done a better job!

[@guitarman592000]

Two people need some counselling lol!

[@TheKonga88]

They had a stroke and pressed the wrong one! :-)

[@robinspat]

Hahaha ancient old gear and dodgy 80s/90s production approach

[@bezale]

sound engineers...napoleonic & pretentious.

[@MrRaylove1]

Those 'sound engineers' are Paul Muggleton, her future husband and Mike Paxman, her guitarist. Both performed with her on stage as well as on her albums and co-wrote many songs with her. As such they were probably as responsible for the 'Judie Tzuke' sound as the great lady herself was.

[@richardichard4237]

Hard to talk, let alone sing, with all those teeth in the way...!?

[@Fexobs]

Pathetic comment.
