SONG OF THE WEEK “Josephine” by Tim Andrews a.k.a Chris Andrews, who wrote and sang this tribute to a special woman. The arrangement comes laden with echoplexed harpsichords and strings—right out of the late 60s “baroque pop” playbook, when classical music forms and instrumentation are integrated with psychedelic rock, a style championed by The Beach Boys, Beatles, Bee Gees, Left Banke, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, etc. Recorded at Abbey Road, this track (released 1970 as a B-side) was produced by Tony Hall and David Mackay (Gene Pitney, Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler) and arranged by Paul Buckmaster—the great composer and orchestrator who’d soon go on to work with Elton John.
