Weekend New Year's Music Twofer

 

From British folk singer (and early Apple Records recording artist) Mary Hopkin, her cover of Pete Seeger's "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (which was the B- side to her 1968 debut single, "Those Were The Days"). The song had been an international hit for The Byrds in 1965.

From his 1974 "Dark Horse" album, George Harrison rings out the old, rings in the new with "Ding Dong, Ding Dong." Among those playing on the record with Harrison are Ringo Starr on drums, Klaus Voorman on bass, Jim Keltner also on drums, Ron Wood on guitar, and Alvin Lee on guitar.  The video was filmed at Harrison's Friar Park estate.
