Trammps - Hold Back The Night

[Autumnstoned]

This still sounds great to me and what a superb vid!

Yep, tune! First heard this via Graham Parker & The Rumour's cover version (not bad at all) but this is killer, thanks for sharing.

Nice one.  Love the instrumental Scrub Board as well.

But, did you know they are not singing 'Hold back the night' anywhere on the record release.. As a tease, see if you can detect the lyric they are singing.......

well fook me ! I've been singing 'Hold back the night' since I first heard it , DOH !!  Mate of mine used to sing 'Street Lights' to Randy Crawford/Crusaders 'Street Life' nobody dare tell him though he was as hard as nails and had a bit of a quick temper

Correct!

 

I only spotted it on the new Tom Moulton re-mix on the Philly Re-grooved 3 double CD. I don't know how I missed it.

 

 I have loads of lyric issues! Does anybody know what the male b/v's are singing on 'Stay Close to Me/The Five Stairsteps and Cubie? I know it starts 'Love, love is a wonderful thing..so many??????? I pretend I know what it is and mumble nonsense so |I don't look stupid..but I would like to know...

[Autumnstoned]

Dunno but here's a clip of the tune to listen to and try and work it out, which I put together a while back.

Wasn't this only released as a result of UK demand? "Scrub board" must have been at least 3 years old by the time they put out HBTN - I remember Colin playing what I thought was going to be "Scrub board" one night and thinking "Why is he playing this?" - and being very surprised when the vocals kicked in!

p.s. Nice video!

Yes it was played off the LP The Legendary Zing Album (I think thats right) and was massive so they got it issued as a 45.

Great, great record. We also know them as The Volcanos, right
