I see that Peter was the evil doctor's youngest victim at the young age of 41. <br /><br />Did the jumpers have Scorpions on them or something?On The Flip-Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319364292191851993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-54846036233828543732014-03-26T19:10:18.240-07:002014-03-26T19:10:18.240-07:00My mum and dad were friends with Peter and my mum ...My mum and dad were friends with Peter and my mum actually knitted the whole band scorpion jumpers when they first started out in the early sixties; we've only just discovered that Peter was a victim of Harold Shipman - so shocking!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-88490871875953296292013-10-24T14:11:34.791-07:002013-10-24T14:11:34.791-07:00Good catch.

That opening riff of Dawn is Breaking - especially when the organ kicks in - is very similar to the opening riff in Too Many Lovers.Flipsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983978215194067317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-88675479449871491902013-10-23T10:24:04.141-07:002013-10-23T10:24:04.141-07:00Okay, THIS is why I run this site.

Matt -- I just ran to my record collection and found Dawn is Breaking on the Flip-Side of the excellent I Confess. I bet I haven't heard Dawn is Breaking in 25 years. It's excellent and you are correct, the chord progression and opening organ riff is eerily similar. What a great find. Thanks.

At times it reminds me of "Dawn Is Breaking" by New Colony Six.<br />Also, the opening riff reminds me of The Animals, Baby Let Me Take You Home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-63278060041675879712013-10-23T10:06:02.536-07:002013-10-23T10:06:02.536-07:00You are right, this song is quirky.

Odd time changes, the jerky rhythm of the main riff and the undeviating delivery too ... Good stuff!!Flipsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983978215194067317noreply@blogger.com
