Hallo,

hier stimmt etwas nicht.

THE SAINTS = THE AMBASSADORS (lt. Abb. ein Trio)

Rund um das Geschehen bei den JOE MEEK-Produktionen passt der WIKI-Text besser:

The Saints were an English instrumental band, that worked for the record producer, Joe Meek.

The band (THE SAINTS) were made up of Tab Martin (fresh from his stint with The Tornados), Roy Phillips (playing guitar), and drummer Ricky Winter (Richard Winter, * 27 September 1940, in Aldershot, Hampshire). They worked as the house band for Meek's productions, and as such backed Heinz, Andy Cavell (* 20 April 1945, Piraeus, Greece) and others.

Their most notable recording was their cover of The Surfaris', “Wipe Out“. They appeared as themselves in the British film, “Live It Up!“.

Ich habe bezüglich der Gruppenbesetzung Alan Taylor, den Mitherausgeber der
instrumental Musik Zeitschrift "Pipeline" angemailt. Hier ist seine Antwort:

This is Roy Philips, Tab Martin & Ricky Winter who were The Saints for Joe Meek - backing Heinz and releasing a few singles themselves.

Martin & Philips went on to form jazz trio The Peddlers. I saw Winter with his '60s/R&R band The Saints about 10 years ago, very good they were too!
