"This 1967 WALKER BROTHERS Solo number Is Pure Sunshine: JOHN WALKER - Annabella" | Psychedelic Pop

JOHN WALKER – ’Annabella’/’You Don’t Understand Me’ (Philips BF 1593) June 1967 0:00 JOHN WALKER - "Annabella" 2:10 JOHN WALKER - "You Don't Understand Me" 4:46 Outro John Walker | Annabella | Philips | 1967 | It must have been very hard for John Maus late of Walker Brothers fame to decide what sort of song to chose as a first solo single – therefore congratulations all round because this is very nice and I like it. Which really surprised me in a gunny way as people had said “oh it needs lots of plays and you won’t like it when you first hear it, but it will grow on you,” which is often what people say when they really mean it’s not a very good record. Well, this is all breathless and the tune is very much like “Sunny.” An odd little song about how he loves her and she mustn’t take any notice of the boy who’s after her, it all ends suspended in mid-air. I like listening to it and John’s voice has an uncertain charm which endears me to the record more.
