- I made an enhanced version of this song 3 years ago and it was a disaster! It had over 80,000 hits but it had to be deleted and replaced.
I knew I had to redo it but I kept putting it off for 2 years and then the other day I got an E-mail pointing out how bad that recording was and I knew it so here you go. After 9 hours of working on this song I still had 2 more hours in mixing the tracks and tweaking the EQ's.
What you hear now is very close to what I wanted this song to sound like. This was another one of those songs that give me an excedrrin headache because of the out-of-tune instruments on the original recording. Something is definitely off and I think it's the bass guitar and something else.
My first strokes in the beginning of the song with an E chord (with a 12 string tuned perfectly) would not blend in properly and that tells me something in the original is off tune. So finally I have a replacement for the
If there was such thing as an "all-time underrated songs" list, this would be on it. Just a terrific tune.
Love it it's an off the hook song keeps you in the mood great job Magic Lanterns. Great Group.
This song just tears me out of the frame.
It has so many good elements.
The dobro is the best.
Awesome song. Great driving beat and guitar riffs.
Thanks for uploading this great single. I'd forgotten all about this song. Got it hidden away amongst my 45s somewhere.
Love was the game
Fool was my name
I thought you'd know wrong from right
But you ran to his arms tonight
Shame, shame
We had a good thing, baby
Shame, shame
He doesn't love you, baby
Shame, shame
He'll only break your heart
And leave you standing out in the rain
Shame, shame
I was your clown
But he'd be around
You call him up on your stage
But he's acting out every page
The Producer on this song, Steve Rowland, was an actor in the late 50's, early 60's who showed up playing punk gunfighters on a bunch of TV westerns. I think he may have even played one of the Clantons on Watt Earp with Hugh O'Brian.
Loved this song in 68, still do always will. So upbeat, puts me in a great mood. Thanks so much for uploading. Wish someone would react to it and bring to many attentions.
The result of all your work is a superb version of "Shame Shame". Very well done. Thank you.
One of my favorite songs of the 60s 1968 as a matter fact brings back a lot of good memories for me I tell you that damn where did time go
Thank-you again Kenn ! This is a " hidden classic " that should have been a monster hit. I still have my 45. ------------A Perfect song to sing to, in the car ! -------------------------MJL, 75 y/o
R I P Kenn , You may be gone but your remixes will live forever ,
Love the opening guitar on this song! A song has about 5 seconds to grab my attention at the beginning, and good musicians know that fact about most of the listening audience. 😁
You make traveling back such a sweet experience. As memories flood my head and move my heart, I am thankful for your dedication to this era of music and the absolute brilliance that you freely share.. Fantastic job always. Thanks!
Your welcome Steve! It was quite an era for talent! All I hear on the radio now is mediocre racket!
Thank you. This has always been one of my favorirte3 songs and I hadn't heard it in 30 years or so. You NEVER see it on any oldies CD collections, so I had pretty much given up on it;. I came across it just a few minutes ago, played it and it is a masterpiece. You have done a masterful job, and I can't thank you enough.
I had similar experience. WHY is it NOT in any 60s collections. Obscure band too so not easy to find a download to buy.
Love this awesome song; their only US hit in late 68;
LOVE THIS TUNE!
I always loved this song. This version sounds great!
One of my favorites!
Excellent!
I have to say this enhanced version is outstanding... Bluetooth audio in my premium sound system with subwoofer in my car couldn't get any better!!
Great work on one of my all time favorite songs. I was a high school sophomore, purchased the 45, and played this song to death. Thank you Kenn for sharing your magnificent gift!
Was in the Kitchen making coffee this morning when the chorus popped into my head today! Thanks for posting this! Great tune!
Thank you! Good job. I bought this album back when. What memories. Many good songs on the album, "Brunette of a Kind" for one. I have learned that the train station on the cover is in Wheathampstead. Now it's on my list of places to visit when I go to England, when this Covid thing is over.
Heard this on a Robert W. Morgan (October 18, 1968) KHJ audio tape, for the first time, and I agree, it is a great song!!
@Jim Dahlin That's where I heard it for the first time too. I was only 8 in Oct. '68, so that probably explains why I missed it when it first came out. The other thing I remember about that Aircheck, was how frustrated Robert W. got because he kept flubbing an advertisement he was trying to read. 😀
@@oldiesgeek454 yep, I was only 7 years old at the time of this classic. Baseball cards, Dark Shadows, and Friday night TV Dinners were among the things I loved back then.
Kenn ! I cannot say " thank-you " enough, for the hard work you put in ---------& this has long been one of MY all-time favorite songs that should have been a monster hit, but timing -------late 60's------& poor " promo" doomed it. From the 1st time I heard it, I just knew ------in Denver, at least--------that this was a sure-fire top 10 hit, but I was sadly, wrong. --------------No matter ; for me, it's always been a hit, & I thank you for the time spent fixing it. ----------You ARE correct though, the song always sounded to my ears, like it was slightly ------for lack of better words -------" out of tune ". -------------all I say is ----again ------well done, sir. ---------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o & a dedicated fan of your hard work.
I agree, should've been a top 10 hit. It barely made it into the Billboard top 40.
It was always a hit in my eyes, too. Never understood why it did not take off, but after learning about the 'music industry' in the past several years, I can understand why.
Thanks for the UPDATE Kenn! I love your Enhanced Versions. This is one of my favorite songs!
This group is so underrated the song shame shame was dynamite 1968 but let me tell you one thing that was so many great songs in that year so many where did the time go God dammit
Great one hit wonder. Grew up playing this song in a band.
Underrated song....great job Ken!
Take a well deserved bow, "Mr. Music Enhancement."🤩 This is exquisite. Fantastic work.
This song is so GOOD ! You should have many , many more likes for it.
Love It Kenn , One Of Absolute All Time Favorite Songs !!!! ...Frank McKinnon Sr.
GREAT UNKNOWN SONG
I can see how this song can present some problems. Haven't heard this in decades, thanks.
THE RESULT OF ALL YOUR WORK IS "SUPERB"... PERIOD!!!🎶
SUPERB effort! Many thanks.
Good job Ken. I always liked this catchy tune ! :)
Excellent
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG and I’m so grateful for the enhancement. So underrated. Thank you.
OMG haven't heard this forever thanks
Does sound better than original
Love this song. Many thx!
loved loved this song
Excellent! Thank you for the work you put into this to make this song even better sounding!
I love this song
Just a great upload as I hear this song again, when it first came out never had much time for it but it grows on you and I like it a lot now. Cheers
An under-rated song from 1968..... good work.
Good Job Kenn!!
😀
Super sound - you turned it into a powerhouse!
Amazon music doesn't even have this song . To obscure and a great beat
Thank you for your effort sir, and if I may say so it's a wonderful job!
Excellent! Thanks for posting.
Kenn..you hit this out of the Ballpark by reworking the mix...Im sitting here with a grin so big, my face is hurting!!! Awesome!
Hi Mark--glad you liked the enhanced version. Kenn
First of all Thanks to Kenn Wingle for a great sounding version of this song. There is so much going on in this song production wise. It was way ahead of it's time in 68; unfortunately though the production was a little muddled on the original. I have a country band and we are covering this song on our EP and this version really helped us hear some of the horn lines and harmonies and well everything going on . Totally agree one of the most underrated songs of all time. Could anybody give some info on the instrumentation used in this song? Is that actually a lap steel playing those licks throughout? Also is there any place I could see the Lanterns playing this live?
Great stuff! Thank you for this!
Thanks for cleaning up an old favorite
Good Song
YES Indeed,,, Great work... Thank You .!.!.!
Thanks for posting. I love this song.
I forgot to say great job Ken you’re always tops man
In the newer version released on i-tunes, the bass is really good and helps drive the sound. I think it helps make the song better than the original which had the bass more in the background
sounds great
Kenn : One more time I thank you . -------------what a fantastic re-do. I own the 45, & yes, it's easy to hear that " something is off " , & I'm ammazed the engineer at least, didn't hear it & tell the band to correct it. ---------------------------Wolfsky9, 74 y/o
Tassssty ! SO GOOD !
Thank-you, so very much Ken ! --------This is a great song, that should have been a monster hit. ---------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Magic Song and great work, congratulations!
Nice work! Thanks!
Fabulous! But...the lead singer's vocal is a bit low in volume at the beginning (:12 - :28). It finally gets to a normal level by :34. This happens again at the start of the 2nd verse (1:02-1:18). Back down again at the refrain (1:33 to about 1:44.) Overall the sound is so much better than the original 45 that it's hard not to choose this -- even with that lead vocal cycling up & down. I grew up with this song, own the 45, and played the heck out of it. A terribly overlooked tune, but it was easy to do -- lots of great music in 1968 vying for chart positions !
can you sell this to Apple so I can buy it for my iTunes. I love love love this and Apple has so little for the 60s selection. This is just superb.
Great work!
Kenn, there WERE so many songs from those days that if one listened top closely WERE badly off key, out of tune, & worse ! -------Sadly, at the time, no one seemed to care enough. ---------------Thank-you for all of y6our " excedrin Headaches'. -------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
How did this great tune fly under the radar?
Hi Kenn, is it possible to enhance 'Handy Man' by Del Shannon? All the best from the UK.
With your great ear, maybe you can settle something that has bugged me for over 50 years, Kenn. When this came out and we were listening to it in the dorm in the days when a great stereo system was our only form of entertainment and the contest was to see who had the best, we could never decide if they were really singing "Shame Shame" as in the title, or "Shame Shane" as was rumored. Rumor had it the song was sung about or to a guy named "Shane" who let a great lady get away. I still can't tell, even listening to your version. What do you hear?
Shame Shame or Shane Shane? I have no idea but I would assume that the right title got on the record. Kenn
Wow!!!!!!!!!!
Brings back great memories, good times. Does anyone have the words? Thank you for posting!
Not hard to follow. When this came out we thought the song was saying "Shame Shane". Reference to a guy named "Shane" the singer was addressing. Impossible to tell, even in this version, if it is "shame", or "Shane" the second time. Only the songwriter knows for sure.
Agree that something is slightly off --- but feel you made it sound as good as possible. There's a subtle but very perceptible, electronic amplifier interference on the original tape. They might have been using a fretless, electric bass because some bass notes sound slightly off, others are right on.
!!WOW the best sound!! But on the downside everyone is old now, or worse... :(
I have this LP, and one of the musicians listed as bandmember is "John Paul Jones" Is this man from Zep fame ?
Yes. JPJ is also listed as Producer on at least one Herman Hermits album (my wife has it).
Kenn, another classic!
Now to beg again: How about taking on Elton John's version of "Yellow River" or "My Baby Loves Lovin'"? They'd really benefit from your magic!
Thanks again for all your fine work!
Kenn, this is fantastic, & a huge improvement over the original, which I love. --------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
Very good Ken, I read that a Mike "Oz" Osborne was member of the band. Ozzy apparently denies it however the record company states it was him. Who knows.
Gord McAinsh thank you for that added info.
@@deensf3201 Mike "Oz" Osbourne & John "Ozzy" Osbourne were two different British musicians. They weren't the same person, nor were they brothers.
@@robertorick6383 yes, as I was then a young teen, the rumors about this that went around then was never a serious thing, tho it was thought to be interesting if true. I'm glad there are many around that can provide well informed base of industry talk, you among them.
stereo version great
So, did you enhance with software of some kind (like Rip, Edit, Burn?)
💯
*1968*
It is always a question how an obviously talented rock group could only be a "one hit wonder".
Good song, but had the misfortune of being released the same week as Sgt. Pepper. We all know how that worked out, but good song no doubt.
It is said that Ozzy Osbourne was a one time member of this group, but he denies it
Lionheart Roar I, too, heard that; oh well the lore and legends of rock music history.
Nice legend, but a myth. Sorry...
BeboBevo, I'd say you'd be correct using the scarce bit of available info, and that Ozzy himself says is untrue. It was a Mike "Oz" Osborne, bassist.
The vocals are a little off key and the Production is nothing special. The band isn't "tight" and it has a straight forward, no frills arrangement but the song still works and comes across WONDERFULLY! It's all in how the Band drives the song. ALL of It's appeal is in It's Pure Energy.
Total BS man
the band is fantastic, tight as your sister
Ur earlier version was better.
