Does this look like an authentic film of an actual recording?
Does this look to you like the audio is the performance the film is showing? Do the mics look like what would have been used at the time? I sense a shot or two were inserted after being shot separately but generally the sync looks dead-on - for example the melodic guitar lines. Were recordings done without headphones as shown in the film?

The famous Aussie "lost sheep song ". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZf41UudAbI ** The sound is a stereo mix of the original release. Judith and the guys and are pretty obviously miming. .....

Does it look like how you would expect the track could have been recorded or would things have been arranged completely differently? |

Their lives shows were very good, almost flawless. Actual, multi-track studio recording sessions are not like that. FYI: this vid from the same ear is interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGOvgBLDI4E My take is that Judith is singing live over a backing track that omits he voice. I know the song well and her vocal sounds to me like a fresh version. The mysterious, never hit tambourine in the mix is a giveaway. ...... Phil |

The mysterious, never hit tambourine in the mix is a giveaway. I noticed that but figured it could have been part of a separately recorded rhythm track to keep them locked in. But the consensus seems to be this wasn't an actual recording session. But yes, I've seen various live videos of them where they were super tight. |

I just wondered if it could have been something like this, which is in fact a live performance that was filmed. The mics were strategically placed out of view. It was one of several groups that were filmed for a promotion Goodyear did.
That's Doc Severinsen on trumpet, back before he adopted his more flamboyant outfits. The guitarist leader is a guy named Mike Bryan, he was the least accomplished player but was the financial backer for the group - he owned an auto dealership and was an enthusiastic semi-pro musician. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGVHfJcE544 |

Something I do notice, they obviously are actually performing and the one VU meter is responding in correlation to the the music and the tape player is running. It seems they were recording something.

As such, the performers will have been miming to a playback of the released track, with takes being done until the "performance" matched the music or somebody decided "that's close enough". The apparent ages and clothes of the performers match the mid 1960s. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
