Achtung, jetzt wird gejazzrockt!!! Hellmut Hattler, Germany's most famous Ric'ist:


Just a tad more choreographic work with the mimes, and this would be a major hit!

Those mimes almost kept me from posting it!

Not a Rick in that Hot Chocolate number. I forget the maker who did look-alikes with the black position markers.

I'm shattered. So you win again. I thought it looked such a sexy thing there was no doubt about it. It started with a Ric, never knew it would come to this ...

John Birch is the Rick copy with the black position markers.

That John Birch Rickenfaker (or whatever he recorded with) sounds great. Guitarist has an old Roland GR500 synth.

Just an fyi about BBC videos from those days... if it was a show where the band appeared "live" it was a different recording (live or studio) that was "mimed" for MU reasons so sometimes they are interesting to study...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Yeah, they were recorded in mono and sounded quite a bit different to the regular studio versions. Highly collectible for trainspotting barrel-scraping fans.

+1 I have a soft spot for Hot Chocolate. They had good tunes, a toned down funky feel and a singer with a honey-dew voice. Bit like the UK version of Kool & the Gang who are another guilty pleasure of mine. The Hot Chocolate guitarist came from The Outlaws (the UK instrumental group, not the US Southern Rockers) and Joe Meek sessions, same background as Blackmore.
