On January 17th 1967 the Hollies were recording their latest single, On A Carousel, in Abbey Road Studios when a Granada Television crew burst in with Beatles producer George Martin who was making a film with Granada on advancing music technology (The Beatles were recording Penny Lane next door). A surprise no doubt, but the boys were pros. The brilliant three part vocal harmony that was filmed proved to be the one used on the song, But maybe the star of the show is Bobby Elliott, as cool as drummer as ever there was.

You can watch a longer film of the making of the song here.
