- "I'm not in show business, I don't have a manager, an agent or a publicist. I just stay in here and make records" - Dave Edmunds.
Philip Tibenham visits pop singer Dave Edmunds, whose solo cover version of The Ronettes' "Baby I Love You" has reached the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. How can one person create such a big sound? The multi-talented Mr Edmunds demonstrates how he single-handedly produced the track - by recording himself playing every part; drums, piano, guitar, percussion, vocals, and then mixing it - all from the confines of a derelict Monmouthshire barn.
This clip is from Nationwide, originally broadcast 6 March, 1973.

Dave was my hubbys mate, back in Wales. He got hubby a good apprentice job, as electrician, but sadly it didnt pay much, and he was supporting his mum and nan, so he had to leave, and became a carpet/ layer. When Dave came to Australia, we met him at the airport, and after his show, invited both of us to the after party🎉We had 3 young children, and had to get back to them, as my parents were looking after them. Dave is such a humble person, and hubby remembers going to his jam sessions, with fond memories, and how Dave showed off, diving from the high board, to impress the girls😂😂
It’s great that the tens of thousands of Dave Edmunds fans from all over the world can see him here, so young, at the start of his musical career.
Now in his retirement from the business it’s a wonderful piece to see, perhaps for the 1st time.
Hardly the start! Remember Love Sculpture?
@@Ndlanding Ok ok !!
So I made a mistake !
But you don’t see many interviews of Dave during Love Sculpture.
@@nicolarsefir Just correcting you, that's all.
@@Ndlanding ok if that’s made you feel good then go for it !
Dave Edmunds has always been one of my heroes, since he uses his immense talents to build great pop music. Everything he plays is just meant to sound good and appropriate, and not to impress with speed or even weirdness. He shows that pop is a true art form, as did many others, admittedly, but also that pop songs can be timeless. He, along with Roy Wood and Nick Lowe, kept the spirit alive for a long time, and a lot of their work still sounds great.
A very talented multi functional musician. Should've been way bigger than he was. What a legend
He was a highly successful & sought after record producer...He was as big as it gets...
THATS NIGEL TUFFNEL.
At the mixing desk.
Love Dave love rock pile
So much great music has been recorded at Rockfield - from Queen to Dumptruck to The Stone Roses and everything in-between.
Unsung expert. Long live Dave Edmunds! ❤
absolute genius, should have been huge
Dave is a true rockstar and also a studio mastermind...he was very open-minded and diverse...90s was cruel on his types although he practically retired then...he is in a class of his own...always has one foot in the 50s/60s.
Fabulous film!!! Thanks for posting. To see my hero in His ( then ) designated environment was awesome!! I bought 'Baby, I love you' at that time and still treasure it. Thanks.
Queen, Budgie, Manic Street Preachers, Rush, Sepultura etc. etc. The list of phenomenal acts that recorded at Rockfield is staggering.
Oasis? 😂
Budgie? Kinda rings a distant bell.
@@Ndlanding John Bonham of PUNK rock 😂 Siouxsie and the Banshees drummer!
@@williamperri3437 Ah! I seemed to remember a group called Budgie, who I think were a power trio. Couldn't tell you any more, though, and I'm not going to run to Google every 10 seconds!
Hawkwind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sabbath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Motorhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Judas Priest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one goes up to 11!
We’ll go another way!
One heck of a song writer but his lead is impeccable. Go love sculpture
such a star, pity he has retired, seen him live an spoke to him a couple of times, what a "gentleman"
Was that a young Kingsley at the end?!? I worked at Rockfield twice in the 90s - loved it there...
god .... This makes a shiver up my spine
Been a fan for quite awhile and only now found out that he’s a one man act and doesn’t do shows…. Well i just gained a whole new respect for him and his music
Thank you for posting that! The reporter, in the beginning, kind of reminded me of Eric Idle in The Rutles movie.
First record I ever owned was Dave Edmunds' Crawling From the Wreckage. My musical tastes went on to be punk and metal but I always loved Dave's music. My fave DE songs - Queen of Hearts, Crawling From the Wreckage, Singing the Blues, Louisiana Man, S.O.S, Slipping Away, Steel Claw, Girls Talk. Thanks for the music, Dave. Rock on!!
Nationwide that's a blast from the past a interesting insite into how a song is recorded .Dave Edmunds is a multi instrumenlist ,singing ,playing all the instruments himself ,which is no mean feet in its self .A modern day Mike Oldfield who recorded Tubular Bells a 1973 masterpiece.
Genius!
this video reminds me of Jeff Lynn. Both of these guys play multi instruments and have more talent in their one pinky finger than most artist of today
Lovely to see this in such great quality! The Rockfield documentary was rather lackluster due to the minimal airtime that Dave got.
Great video. Thank you.
Great!
I still have the Studer A80 16 track!
I remember seeing this at the time
Fantastic !!!
A gargantuan talent, in fact, the whole enchilada- sadly past his time now, but forever for the ages…
Dave's "Wall of Sound"
Dave Edmunds was doing this a LONG time before Dave Grohl...
The beggining looks like Eric Idle as the reporter in The Rutles. LOL
He’s got this much talent….(holds thumb and finger 1” apart).
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
@@barrytooley6724 it’s a quote from spinal tap my friend.
@@barrytooley6724 😂
dave has brought so many others up on his musical virtuosity and expertise. his repertoire is truly unmatched.
This video has every stereotype I've ever seen in animated comedy of England.
Animated? Maybe if Ken Dodd's hologram had been in it.
We’ll go another way!
The welsh wizard ❤
sometimes it's really needed to remember the test-patterns of our imaginations
