'Guitar Bop'?

[Paolo Meccano]

Hello everyone,

My collection of the 1960 songs contains a track called 'Guitar Bop' which I haven't found on any bootleg listings - does anyone know if that's the real title or not? It's an instrumental that starts off like Chuck Berry's 'Brown-Eyed Handsome Man'...

If I remember correctly, thsts probably just a title given by bootleggers to a George instrumental jam. I think its from 64 however, I may be wrong. Legs?

Isn't it "Guitar Blues" from the video "First U.S." visit, the title "Guitar Bop" seems indeed given bij bootlegers.

What you have there is the Duane Eddy song "Movin' And Groovin'" (Eddy/Hazelwood) from the Beatles' 1960 tapes (or Beatals, as they were called at the time). It's usually edited into a medley with another Duane Eddy tune, "Ramrod" (Casey), and it's been sometimes misidentified as "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" (Berry).

"Talking Guitar Blues" (trad. arr. Tubb) is George on 21 February 1964 at the Deauville Hotel in Miami trying to remember the Lonnie Donegan tune.

Wow! Well paranoiac, we obviously defer to you. Excellent. Legs, I thought the same thing, I can swear I've heard exactly what you mentioned refered to as "Guitar Bop"; tho' paranoiac is right.

Thanks for clearing that one up for me - I've come across the 'Movin' and Groovin'' and 'Ramrod' titles on bootleg listings so I think you're probably right: all I need to do now is track down the originals and compare...

Hello again Paranoiac, graemlins/thumbsup1.gif *

I've just listened to 'Guitar Bop' again and it is an edit of two separate tracks so you're absolutely spot-on...
