James Last - Ob La Di Ob La Da

Review by Balcony 7 Media and Publishing

Ob La Di Ob La Da is a lively and upbeat album by the renowned German composer and bandleader, James Last. Released in 1969, the album features a collection of popular songs from that era, including the title track, which was originally written and performed by The Beatles.

The album is a perfect blend of pop, rock, and jazz, with James Last's signature big band sound. The tracks are expertly arranged and performed, with a range of instruments, including brass, strings, and percussion, all coming together to create a dynamic and energetic sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," a medley of two songs from the hit musical Hair. James Last's version of the medley is a joyous and uplifting rendition, with soaring vocals and a driving beat that will get anyone up and dancing.

Another highlight of the album is "Hey Jude," which features a beautiful and soulful trumpet solo by Last himself. The track builds to a powerful crescendo, with the entire band coming together in a triumphant finale.
