๐ตBurning Of The Midnight Lamp ๐ต
Noel: "Recorded new single again."
Chas: “Burning Of The Midnight Lamp’ had begun as a demo at Olympic. We intended to record it there, but Jimi found the solution to the song in America and we decided to just do it there. We were still trying to make commercial singles, but we always tried to feature a shift in our sound. We had used female vocalists before with ‘Hey Joe’ and it seemed appropriate that we feature them again. The Sweet Inspirations were a natural fit.”
Jimi: "I wrote part of the song on a plane between LA and New York and finished it in the studios in America. There are some very personal things in there, but I think everyone can understand the feeling when you're travelling that no matter what your address there is no place you can call home. The feeling of a man in a little old house in the middle of a desert where he is burning the midnight lamp." New Musical Express, 9 Sep 1967

Mitch: “The other thing was the Woburn Abbey Pop Festival.”
Noel: “Got up at 1 o'clock. Went to Jimi's hotel. Came home. Washed my hair. Collected Pat [a friend of mine from Grannies. Collected Jimi. Wrote another song. Had a pint on the way down. Loads of photos in the Abbey. Did the gig, went down a bomb. Gerry drove home. Went to Blaises with Jimi. Saw Mick Avery (drummer of the Kinks) and Terry Doran (personal chauffeur of George Harrison). After the gig we went almost straight back to London. Went to bed about 3:30."
Jimi: “It was really only a jam, we hadn't played for so long".
