Rejected song for one of the 1976 BBC shows

Now that we saw the re-runs of the 1976 BBC Shows I have  something extra. Below you can watch Going Going Gone recorded for one of the 1976 BBC shows but unfortunately this great song was not shown on TV. Going Going Gone is from the fabulous Never Never Never album and written by John Barry. Below you can listen to a very special live version from the 1973 Royal Albert Hall concert. It was remastered for the never released 3 CD set that was meant to be released 11 years ago as a tribute for Dame Shirley Bassey’s 75th. birthday.  Read below how the track was remastered.

One more drastic repair was for the song ‘Going Going Gone’. When this was mixed the tape ran out just at the very end of the song and on the next reel the concert continued with no attempt made to repair this section. It was decided that we would like to keep the tracks, but the very last phrase “Going Going Gone” was missing. The multi track tapes are either hidden at the BBC somewhere or more likely no longer exist so I used a very small clip from another live performance of the song and with a little bit of digital trickery, EQ and tempo matching I was able to replace the missing few second and with the addition of some applause from elsewhere in the concert as Eric Morecambe would have said ‘you can’t see the join’. 

Lyrics:

Going, going gone
Love is going, going gone
There’s a limited supply
Better bid, better buy
While the sale is going on.

Going, going gone
Love is going, going gone
Price’s every day increase
Better grab every piece
You can lay your hands upon.

Going, going fast
Life is going, going fast
Theres no time to wheel and deal
Touch and taste, see and feel
What you miss could be your last.

Going going gone
Love is going going gone
Going once, going once
love is going going twice
Going twice going twice
This is it for paradise
Going once going twice
Love is going going gone.

Going going gone
Love is going going gone
Going once, going once
love is going going twice
Going twice going twice
This is it for paradise
Going once going twice
Love is going going gone.
