((1080p)) This rare version is so flipping out good, played not only smokin' fast but Campbell clean, and almost remained unknown: Glen Campbell's astounding acoustic guitar studio recording of "The William Tell Overture." Thanks to a serendipitous oversight, it was unintentionally unshelved and released on a 2-CD 1997 compilation set, "The Glen Campbell Collection (1962-1989)."
The compilation set was meant to feature an already well-known live version of Glen performing "The William Tell Overture" on electric guitar, a track from his "Live at the Royal Festival Hall" album (1977), and listed it as such in the collection's published tracklist.
An oversight on a pressing like this one just goes to show: an imperfect release can exceed perfection. ~D. Zink for Glen Campbell A Campbellology ©2020

Note: AllMusic and Wikipedia mistakenly list the set's title as "The Glen Campbell Collection (1962–1989): Gentle On My Mind"

![Glen Campbell ~ Plays Love is Blue on Guitar
A MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE ON YOUTUBE: Glen Campbell performs the instrumental version of Love is Blue on guitar. The song with lyrics describes the components of lost love with references to colors as emotions: blue, gray, red, green, and black. (Reminds me of Lorrie Morgans hit song Something in Red, 1991.) Music composed by André Popp. Lyrics (French) written by Pierre Cour in 1967. English-language lyrics written by Bryan Blackburn. The version you most likely remember is French orchestra leader Paul Mauriats, recorded in late 1967. Mauriats Love is Blue was also an instrumental production and, at least at that time, became the only number-one hit by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. ~continued~
Getting back to Glens cover, this track can only be found on a yet-to-be digitized album, The Artistry of Glen Campbell (Limited Collectors Edition, Double LP 1972). Heres to all the colors of love, yes, even blue. ~Dee, BringBackMyYesterday Channel on YouTube.
