Clive Franks sprinkled a bit of fairy dust on The Troggs Tapes

[@markgale66]

Thanks Clive. I love the Troggs tape.

Having been married to a guy who worked in recording studios back in those days, i was responsible for passing this around surreptitiously for a while lol. Great to hear the story of how it came to be :)

[@reidwhatley5857]

I've loved his Troggs tape since the first time I heard it and I laugh as hard again and again as if I was listening to it for the first time. It's great to hear the backstory of how it was made. Absolutely fantastic!

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

TRANQUILITY is the name of the song

[@ignatzmuskrat3000]

I'd always known Franks as the guy wearing a crocodile costume playing farfisa on Elton's tour. This is a better legacy! What a great story.

I played in a band with Clive for a couple of years..lovely fellow..a audio genius

[@jimlassen9422]

Having worked in the Pro-Audio Industry (Solid State Logic 1980-87 and then freelance), I realised how easy it was to record a duplicate stereo tape elsewhere in the studio so, am not that surprised that Clive managed to do that. Glad that it seemed to turn out ok in the end.

A studio classic!

[@Imsuchaliar]

Wow! Fantastic, very interesting back story.

[@haysfordays]

Gold. Pure gold. How does this only have under 4K views?

[@stephensmith799]

Priceless. If you love the Troggs Tape, try Handsforth Parish Council meetings....

I’m now hearing Reg’s voice, in that accent, saying “You don’t have the fuckin’ authority”.

[@pressureworks]

You already made this comment on the Troggs tape video !!

[@aue82a]

Good stuff, Clive now lives just nearby in Devonport. AK. Top chap.

[@GeoffreyPheasantFilm]

Thank you for this and sharing.

[@garyrigby21]

if Derek and Clive had started a band it would sound like The Troggs tape

[@rovinehoc1]

i remember it well sid, you gave me a copy.great story. big I

[@boyoboy1968]

At 6:55, so George Harrison was a South African? Well, who knew it eh?!

[@dcaccavo1]

It's a fuckin' #1!!

[@jahmbo]

what a great story

[@duncan-rmi]

invented viral. good effort.

[@kcuhc84]

It is how people try and explain what they want a drummer to do. You are going "um cha, um cha, um chah, ba boom" the the poor drummer is going "what?". They are trying to get the drummer to do "Dubah, dubah, dubah, cha, but on different drums" and it's getting late. Spinal Tap tried to recreate this with a guitar overdub.

[@BaronVonTacocat]

Should have done the follow up! hahahaa

[@TheOldHacker]

He should probably drop the George impression.

[@homeone4054]

Yes..who knew George Harrison was from South Africa..

[@TheOldHacker]

ROFL

[@mattkaustickomments]

No way, it was brill.

[@Johnbays43]

TheOldHacker I thought it pretty good ,better than a lot of others I've heard .

[@hondo3313]

Wasn't the f____ING drummer, Ronnie Bond? Even after all these years when I listen to the tape it makes me laugh.

[@23Daves]

I've just realised he was the same bloke behind the "You've Never Seen Anything Like It - Central Milton Keynes" song. I'd not made the connection before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6qsnaZtaq6bl7s
