The Twilights LP
On their eponymous debut LP, The Twilights demonstrated their diversity as a recording unit. With a strong mix of self-penned tunes, songs specially written for them (by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees and Hans Poulsen), and tour-de-force reproductions of their stage favourites, the group’s dexterity with a variety of styles was proven. A blistering version of The Yardbirds’ “I’m Not Talkin’ ” (consummately seeing off the original with a welter of Britten guitarobatics) contrasted with the mellow tones of The Who’s “La La La Lies”, The Moody Blues’ “Let Me Go” and the thrilling harmonies of Paddy and Glenn on The Hollies’ “Yes I Will”. Then, just when you thought it safe, along came a white-hot reading of the Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” to close the program in a raspy-vocalled feedback freakout! The David MacKay-produced LP showcased the band’s strengths, and presented a potent document to take the nascent group into its most exciting era.
