Kenn in this you did justice to this song because this one does deserve it. This song did need it because this one Rocks. It's hard to believe that this song was recorded 50 yrs ago. 1968 will always be an important yr. for me. I certainly liked the way you enhanced it. It certainly sounds fantastic especially something that Rocks.
Ken, This was and still is a favorite song released in what was certainly a sumultuous summer. You've added real value to the original, making it sound like it was meant too from the get-go. Peace, Justin
I lived in Wheeling, 1967-1969, and surely do remember this song blasting over the airwaves in those days. That, and the Cubs breaking all of our hearts. A pain that never goes away...
Umm. One hit wonder? This is Status Quo. Look them up; they had quite a few hits many bigger than this. I love this too, but it's from before they found the style that propelled them to the big hits. One hit wonder? I ask you. Rollover lay down, Caroline, Down Down, paper Plane, Rockin' all over the world, Whatever you want....
I've read your description - should you try a Hollies song? Which would be twin brother' for this Status Quo song - none other than Tomorrow When It Comes comes to head
Listen to the mono version...you will hear the wah wah guitar...so cool to this tune...and so missed on this version and the stereo version....what happened???
Kenn, I think I may know how you make the vocals more clear. Do you possibly sing along (lyrics in hand) with the song, and then just mix in the the high frequencies (treble part) of your voice?
Yes I do layer extra vocals cause there is no way to give it that stereo effect. It's very prominent on the ABBA songs I've done. It must be done very carefully adjusting the (trimmers) both on the sound board and computer EQ and sung in such a way they it's almost undetectable. Kenn
Since I´m a Vietnam vet with major PTSD, I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night, and that´s the friggin´ truth. Next I´ll just Drop in to See What Condition my Condition was In. And I had a Psychotic Reaction because I was Pushin´ Too Hard. Sometimes I have dreams of Matchstick Men and I kill ´em all with my M-16 when I take a Journey To The Center Of My Mind. I awaken with a Whiter Shade of Pale. Just wish I had some Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
@@w.rustylane5650 Ha ! That was fast , and you're up late , or maybe haven't slept yet ! Either way , thank you for your service ! Any Bob Hope shows while you were in ' Nam ? Hopefully so , and really hopefully JOEY HEATHERTON ! WOW ! I would have like to have been her " Serta " mattress !
@@waldoparsnip1025 I'm always up late. I simply cannot sleep any more. We were supposed to see Bob Hope but the army chopper pilot couldn't find our unit. (Dumb Army pilots-should've been Marines). And no Joey Heatherton. Would like to have seen both.
@@w.rustylane5650 Sorry on both counts and again , thanks for your service . I love watching the Bob Hope shows on you tube ! one with Joey dancing. from '68 or '69 , she's in a black skimpy outfit with a white feather boa , WOW ! Bob Hope was the man ! ' loved that guy .Have a good one .
The flanger, along with the wah-wah guitar, is missing with the original Pictures of Matchstick Men from the Stereo release. All that is only from the Mono release.

I had long forgotten songs like this from my youth. Thank you for bringing them back to life for all us boomers and hopefully the next generations.
I only just found this video in early 2023. This is a gorgeous mellow version of this song. It meshes right into the group.
Kenn , I grew up to this great song ! Thanks for bringing back alot of groovy memories my friend , sounds incredible !!!
OMGosh..one of my all time favorites..you did great..I'm running out of adjectives
I cant get enough of these

This has the best audio of all the versions on CZcams....
Fabulous.
Just fabulous!

This sounds real good. Even more impressed you or anyone is aware of this old psychedelic. Hollies suggestion - "Look Through Any Window". Thank you.
The Tom Moulton Remix is great, too! I like this one, also!
Status Quo went on to greatness.
GREAT SONG!
It sounds better with headphones
Thank you cinematic35!!! Nice Upload!!!!!💯💯💯
they played this a lot on wls Chicago in the late 60s record companies pushed this one. hard.

Same in LA. But its a great track.
obbor4 Just another mildcat.
Eight Nine Oh…….in Chicaaaaaago!
First heard it 68, still on my playlist
Yeah a hollies tune !...great
I thought I was too old for flashbacks
A fantastic one-hit-wonder! Classic WA-WA!
The Quo many hits in England and Europe
The mighty quo rocked live aid!!

Quite an improvement over the original.
My favorite song when I was 6. Other than teddy bears picnic by Henry hall.
Brilliant mix
A true space tune
Great version. I only wish you could have brought up the bass just a tad more, but am I quibbling, Love your version.
Sounds good, Kenn. EDB

Bas run is awesome@
impressionante que um som deste nível já tem pelo menos 60 anos.
The “matchstick men” of the song refers to the paintings of Salford artist L. S. Lowry
Listen to the mono version...you will hear the wah wah guitar...so cool to this tune...and so missed on this version and the stereo version....what happened???
Where were you back in November 1967 ?? ...
Should have used the mono version with the "wah-wah" guitar sound.

THE MUSIC ENHANCEMENT CHANNEL We appreciate it!!!
'Wow-wow' guitar is missing.
Still, a great song!
Will this song show up in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD?
.....a request - can you rework 'Romeo & Juliet' by Toby Twist, please?
....correction - Toby TWIRL.....
Is this a newer version from Status Quo? Cuz I always remember a slight Wah sound during during chorus ?
that's the MONO version.. the Stereo version omits the way guitar. lame right?
This song was just mud. Nice job.
Most of which was Phasing.

Any reason why the intro guitars are like a quarter or halftone higher?
I wish you'd used the mono version with the wahwah effect instead of the shittier stereo version. Still great cover through
No Wah pedal, no good....I'll take the Mono version, but thanks for participating
WHY DID YOU CUT OUT THE KEYBOARD ?
where's the flanger?
The flanger, along with the wah-wah guitar, is missing with the original Pictures of Matchstick Men from the Stereo release. All that is only from the Mono release.
missing a wah wah guitar overdub
The wah wah would be nice but I don't have one!
I like it better this way! I never cared for that wah-wah overdub. This is SUPERB!!!!
