Let's here it for the transistor radio. (Once our main source of hearing music)
On Sunday 15th September 1968 John Peel on his 'Top Gear' show on Radio 1 played a session by Love Sculpture that included their version of 'Sabre Dance'. He was so blown away by the performance he re-jigged the last half an hour so he could play it again before the programme ended.
Written in 1942 by Aram Khachaturian for his ballet Gayane, he probably never imagined it for electric guitar.
This great video is a slightly abridged version of the single released in the November of '68. Takes me back...
