Recorded at Jackson Studios in Rickmansworth, \u003cem\u003eWindow Shopping\u003c\/em\u003e could easily be an unknown \u003cstrong\u003eSam and Dave\u003c\/strong\u003e cover, whilst \u003cem\u003eEngineer Man\u003c\/em\u003e has shades of early \u003cstrong\u003eMove\u003c\/strong\u003e with a classically inspired bass line and window shaking drum fills. Great Double sider for sixties DJs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot on the heels of their history re-writing 1969 rock opera \u003cem\u003eA Story by The Genesis\u003c\/em\u003e (HOG3318) Luton's finest are back again with two previously unreleased 1966\/7 sides from their period as a hard-gigging mod band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Jackson Studios in early 1967 these two tracks sit right on the cusp of Soul covers bands casting an eye to the coming psychedelic future. Whilst \u003cem\u003eWindow Shopping\u003c\/em\u003e is a slice of prime 'bunch of UK scrotes doing Sam and Dave', \u003cem\u003eEngineer Man\u003c\/em\u003e is an upbeat semi novelty romp, featuring plenty of sound effects beloved of the Jackson Brothers, as featured on their best known sixties recordings by \u003cstrong\u003eRainbow Ffolly\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter nearly sixty years on the shelf, it's no surprise that some details of these tracks are forgotten, in this case, the name of the singer on \u003cem\u003eWindow Shopping\u003c\/em\u003e! At the time, Jackson advertised a 'Pop Single Workshop' in the back of melody maker, which chimes with keyboard player \u003cstrong\u003eChrist Stokes\u003c\/strong\u003e' recollection that 'it was a guy who wanted to make a record but didn't have a band or a song, so we backed him on one of ours'. Similarly, it's \u003cem\u003esuspected\u003c\/em\u003e that the drummer is one \u003cstrong\u003eStevie Coombes\u003c\/strong\u003e, who emigrated to Canada, but no one is quite sure at this point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hand of Glory","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 7 Inch Single","offer_id":58792682750297,"sku":"SDZ-50075","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/REP_20260807_1248_114946_303_p_The_Genesis_Window_Shopping_1_001.jpg?v=1786124878","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-genesis-window-shopping","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
