not an edit. great stereo quality, this song from the 1968 album "the hurdy gurdy man". it was only until 2005 on the emi remaster of "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" (catalogue number 07243 8 73568 2 5)(← those spaces are important when googling) when this stereo version emerged! dubbed video, of course. this video up to this day was mono, I think it was about time to reveal the true stunning stereo version of the song in this clip...
the song features a wind section with oboe, flute, and bassoon (I LOVE the sound of oboe and bassoon as much as I hate the sound of a sax...!)
in 1968 a #5 hit in the uk, #16 in australia, #18 in holland, #26 in shame on u, s of a... (that week America preferred the sticky honey of bobby goldsboro... what was wrong with your masses to prefer that song with its slimy violins & choir???
JENNIFER JUNIPER
(Donovan Leitch)
Jennifer Juniper, lives upon the hill
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still
is she sleeping? I don't think so
is she breathing? yes, very low
whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?
Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare
Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair
is she dreaming? yes, I think so
is she pretty? yes, ever so
whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?
I'm thinking of, what it would be like if she loved me
you know just lately, this happy song, it came along
and I had to somehow try and tell you
Jennifer Juniper, hair of golden flax
Jennifer Juniper, longs for what she lacks
do you like her? yes, I do, sir
would you love her? yes, I would, sir
whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper
Jennifer Juniper, vit sur la colline
Jennifer Juniper, assise très tranquille
dort-elle? je ne crois pas
respire-t-elle? oui, mais tout bas
qu'est-ce que tu fais, Jenny, mon amour?
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper
(the last verse is the same as the first verse, but then in French)
