Reelin’ In the Years 151: Don’t Let it Die

An odd one this; record producer Norman Smith taking the mike (yes that’s the abbreviation for microphone used back in the day) himself apparently as a demo for John Lennon to consider but fellow record producer Mickie Most said he should release it as he’d recorded it.
A plea for wildlife conservation sadly still appropriate nigh on fifty years later.
For all its rough and ready qualities there’s something oddly haunting about Smith’s singing voice.
