about

SAVOY TRUFFLE VIDEO
alturl.com/uhmex

Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to his friend Eric Clapton's chocolate addiction, and indeed he derived the title and many of the lyrics from a box of Mackintosh's Good News chocolates. Supposedly all of the confectionery names used in the song are authentic, except cherry cream and coconut fudge.

The chorus ("But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle") is a reference to the deterioration of one's teeth after eating too many sweets.

The Beatles recorded the first take on 3 October 1968 and the final mixes were finished by 14 October. Six saxophonists (three baritone, three tenor) were brought in and were reportedly displeased when Harrison decided to distort their appearance on the recording.

BEST COVER ALBUMS OF ALL TIME tag was tongue in cheek...
Then we started listening to others & began to wonder ;)

4 Montreal seasoned musicians have their way with classics songs & bands of the 60's & 70's, then begin composing...

They decided to start small.
A mini rock opera about God & his minions...
