Johnny J Blair (song by Davy Jones) - When You Tell Me That You Love Me (demo)

from Samuel Bowen & Johnny J Blair THE SKY CRIES (special edition EP) by Johnny J Blair "Singer at Large"

about

Notes by JJB: "While making the recordings that would become the JUST ME album series, David Jones wrote this song and thought I should have a go at singing it. This piano/vocal demo was mixed by Tim Breon at R&J Studios in Williamsport PA, where a lot of tracks were done for JUST ME. I had no plans for this song, and the demo was promptly shelved (and forgotten till last year). Meanwhile, we kept some of my chords and re-arranged the song in an ornate orchestral rock sound (thinking Electric Light Orchestra) for David's vocal. The final version is far superior (with stunning cello and guitar work), but this demo (warts and all) has a bit of a Gerry Rafferty verve, and that is a good thing."
