Many thanks for taking ...That was very informative. Many thanks for taking the time to blog it up.<br /><br />Just for the record, The version of This Wheel used for the theme of Ab Fab was not the originally released Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity version from 1967 (the first release of the song, and a top five hit in the UK), but a sound-alike re-recording featuring Julie (now J. Tippetts) with the British comedic actor Adrian Edmondson (Jennifer Saunders husband) playing most of the instruments. The distinctive organ on this re-recording was played by Simon Wallace. This version was also set to be released as the 3rd B-side of the Pet Shop Boys 'Absolutely Fabulous' charity CD single in 1994 but was withdrawn at Julie's request, possibly because the CD credited her as Julie Driscoll, a name she hadn't used since the early 1970s. Despite the withdrawal some promo singles were pressed up and are a much sought-after collectible rarity these days.<br /><br />Following this incident Julie's vocals were re-recorded for later seasons of Ab Fab with a succession of artists including P. P. Arnold and Marianne Faithful.<br /><br />And that's that!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Owen Keenan<br /><i>The Julie Driscoll/Julie Tippetts Sessions Project</i>Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711710646244410024noreply@blogger.com
