The fantastic "Concrete and Clay" is performed by the Unit Four Plus Two on the site of the Barbican which is under construction. Pathe Pictorial use the setting as a literal interpretation of the song - concrete and clay - get it? In a follow on from the previous story a transistor radio is balanced on an oil drum to suggest that the workmen can hear this song on Radio Caroline.
In this precursor to the pop video there are C/Us of the band members as they walk like wandering minstrels over the scaffolding and play their guitars amongst the sand and rubble. Good shots of the band as they play and enjoy themselves immensely. What a fantastic song! The soundtrack has sound effects of building work laid over the top. Ends with a pull back shot showing the band in the middle of the building site. Fab!

INFO: Unit 4 + 2 were a British pop band, who had a number one hit in the
UK Singles Chart in 1965 with the song "Concrete and Clay".
The track topped the UK chart for one week.
Brian Parker after a short spell as a guitar player in Adam Faith's
backing group The Roulettes in early 1962, formed the fledgling outfit,
as Unit Four with fellow guitarist Tommy Moeller, Dave 'Buster' Meikle and lead singer, Peter Moules.
Due to ill-health Parker quickly dropped himself from playing duties with the group,
and concentrated on songwriting for them.
His place was taken by Howard 'Lem' Lubin.
The quartet was named 'Unit Four' simply on account of their having four band members.
When two further musicians joined the group (Rod Garwood and Hugh Halliday),
they augmented the name accordingly.
They were later joined by Nigel Snook, becoming Unit Four Plus Two in late 1963.
As Unit 4 + 2, the sextet issued their debut single, on Decca Records.
"Green Fields" reached a modest number 48 in the UK in 1966.
Their second single release "Sorrow and Pain" fared even worse.
Unit 4 + 2's song "Concrete and Clay" became a big hit the following year,
reportedly thanks to exposure on the pirate radio stations of the day,
most notably Wonderful Radio London.
The radio station's music director, Tony Windsor, later recalled in an interview
that he had initially rejected the song for the station's playlist,
but was persuaded to change his mind by DJ Kenny Everett.
The disc was recorded using the skill of two guest musicians, Russ Ballard and
Bob Henrit (two of Parker's former bandmates from their Roulettes days),
who debuted earlier at venues such as Cheshunt Boys' Club, together
with Buster Meikle, as members of The Daybreakers.
As well as its chart topping exploits in the UK, "Concrete and Clay"
was a worldwide hit, and the group suddenly found themselves on radio playlists across the globe.
In America, a competing cover version by Eddie Rambeau (produced by Bob Crewe)
split sales, with Rambeau reaching #35 on the Billboard charts and Unit 4 + 2 placing at #28.
Cash Box charted the two versions together, and they reached a combined #12.
Decca released a hastily put together album, also entitled Concrete and Clay,
to capitalise on the success, but it was not as notable in style or content as the single.
Nevertheless, the next single release "You've Never Been in Love Like This Before"
reached the Top 20 in the UK, and #95 on the Billboard chart in the US "Concrete and Clay"
returned to the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart in 1976, courtesy of Randy Edelman's cover version.
More recently, the original song appeared in the soundtrack to the film, Rushmore (1998).

Ad Lib Club, London.
The Unit Four Plus Two perform their hit song "Never Been in Love Like This Before" in a nightclub setting. Good C/Us of the boys as they perform. C/U of one of the band's guitars - it is a Burns guitar of course (see story called "Guitar Factory" which precedes this on CP 539). Not as good as "Concrete and Clay" but what could be?
There are no shots of audience for the performance - if there was one.
Cuts exist for this story - see other record.

Unit 4 + 2
Unit 4 + 2 were a British pop band, who had a number one hit in the UK Singles Chart in 1965 with the song "Concrete and Clay". The track topped the UK chart for one week.
Career
Early days
In 1962, Brian Parker, then the guitar player and songwriter with The Hunters, decided to form his own vocal harmony group. He asked his friend David 'Buster' Meikle to join him. They asked singer Tommy Moeller and Peter Moules, who were at school together, to join their group which they called Unit 4.
Unit 4 was later joined by Russ Ballard on guitar and Robert 'Bob' Henrit on drums (forming the + 2) for a six piece, four-part vocal harmony group. Moeller was lead singer and frontman, from the first show as the Unit 4 vocal group to the last show as Unit 4 + 2 as vocal group with instruments. Due to ill-health and a dislike of performing live, Brian Parker left the band, but remained involved as co-songwriter with Tommy Moeller for all of the band's original recordings. His place at live performances was taken by Howard 'Lem' Lubin.

Concrete and Clay
"Concrete and Clay" is a 1965 hit single recorded by the UK pop group Unit 4 + 2. It reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1965. The song was written by group members Tommy Moeller and Brian Parker.
Recorded with the help of session musicians and featuring ("+2") Russ Ballard and Bob Henrit, "Concrete and Clay" details the indestructible love of the singer and his lover:
"The sidewalks in the street, the concrete and the clay
Beneath my feet begins to crumble, but love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble, before we say goodbye"
The arrangement has a pronounced Latin influence, using acoustic guitars and a baion beat. These distinctive elements helped boost "Concrete and Clay" to the No. 1 position on the UK Singles Chart in April 1965.
American record producer Bob Crewe, best known for his work with the Four Seasons, had heard the Unit 4 + 2 hit version of "Concrete and Clay" while on a trip to the UK. As a result, Crewe had a cover version of "Concrete and Clay" cut by Eddie Rambeau, a staff writer at Crewe's music publishing firm, which was the inaugural release for Crewe's own DynoVoice Records. Although the Rambeau version's release pre-dated the US release of the Unit 4 + 2 version by one week, both singles debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 8 May 1965; Unit 4 + 2 at No. 96 and Rambeau at No. 98, with both singles making a similar chart ascent over the next four weeks. The original eventually peaked at No. 28 while Rambeau's version reached No. 35.

I Will (Beatles song)
"I Will" is a song by the Beatles that was released on The Beatles. It was written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and features him on lead vocal, guitar, and "vocal bass".
Background
"I Will" was one of the songs worked on by the Beatles and their associates while in Rishikesh, India. Although the music came together fairly easily, the words were worked on in India, and remained unfinished even as recording began back in London.
Recording
This quiet song required 67 takes, and George Harrison did not play (during The Beatles sessions, the Beatles often recorded in separate studios). However, the reason for Harrison's absence from the session has never been clarified.
During take 19 of "I Will", McCartney ad-libbed an untitled and uncopyrighted song (referred to as "Can you take me back?" by author Ian MacDonald), a 28-second segment of which ended up on side 4 of the album The Beatles as what MacDonald described as “a sinister introduction to "Revolution 9"”. Also ad-libbed by McCartney was "Los Paranoias", released, together with take 1 of "I Will", in 1996 on Anthology 3.

INFO: Unit 4 + 2 were a British pop band, who had a number one hit in the
UK Singles Chart in 1965 with the song "Concrete and Clay".
The track topped the UK chart for one week.
Brian Parker after a short spell as a guitar player in Adam Faith's
backing group The Roulettes in early 1962, formed the fledgling outfit,
as Unit Four with fellow guitarist Tommy Moeller, Dave 'Buster' Meikle and lead singer, Peter Moules.
Due to ill-health Parker quickly dropped himself from playing duties with the group,
and concentrated on songwriting for them.
His place was taken by Howard 'Lem' Lubin.
The quartet was named 'Unit Four' simply on account of their having four band members.
When two further musicians joined the group (Rod Garwood and Hugh Halliday),
they augmented the name accordingly.
They were later joined by Nigel Snook, becoming Unit Four Plus Two in late 1963.
As Unit 4 + 2, the sextet issued their debut single, on Decca Records.
"Green Fields" reached a modest number 48 in the UK in 1966.
Their second single release "Sorrow and Pain" fared even worse.
Unit 4 + 2's song "Concrete and Clay" became a big hit the following year,
reportedly thanks to exposure on the pirate radio stations of the day,
most notably Wonderful Radio London.
The radio station's music director, Tony Windsor, later recalled in an interview
that he had initially rejected the song for the station's playlist,
but was persuaded to change his mind by DJ Kenny Everett.
The disc was recorded using the skill of two guest musicians, Russ Ballard and
Bob Henrit (two of Parker's former bandmates from their Roulettes days),
who debuted earlier at venues such as Cheshunt Boys' Club, together
with Buster Meikle, as members of The Daybreakers.
As well as its chart topping exploits in the UK, "Concrete and Clay"
was a worldwide hit, and the group suddenly found themselves on radio playlists across the globe.
In America, a competing cover version by Eddie Rambeau (produced by Bob Crewe)
split sales, with Rambeau reaching #35 on the Billboard charts and Unit 4 + 2 placing at #28.
Cash Box charted the two versions together, and they reached a combined #12.
Decca released a hastily put together album, also entitled Concrete and Clay,
to capitalise on the success, but it was not as notable in style or content as the single.
Nevertheless, the next single release "You've Never Been in Love Like This Before"
reached the Top 20 in the UK, and #95 on the Billboard chart in the US "Concrete and Clay"
returned to the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart in 1976, courtesy of Randy Edelman's cover version.
More recently, the original song appeared in the soundtrack to the film, Rushmore (1998).

The Unit Four Plus Two perform their hit song "Never Been in Love Like This Before" in a nightclub setting. Good C/Us of the boys as they perform. C/U of one of the band's guitars - it is a Burns guitar of course (see story called "Guitar Factory" which precedes this on CP 539). Not as good as "Concrete and Clay" but what could be?
There are no shots of audience for the performance - if there was one.
Cuts exist for this story - see other record.
