Paul Revere is not the singer (Mark Lindsay) but rather the keyboardist – the band was arbitrarily named, slightly tongue-in-cheek, after him which might be one reason why they remind me slightly of Manfred Mann. In both cases they’re a bit before my time but this 1969 popsicle (which manages to squeeze two key changes bridged by two mini drum flourishes into its two and a half minutes) was included in Quentin Tarantino’s wonderful 2019 masterpiece ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ which, on top of its exquisite camera work and period detail, was well up to his usual high standards of movie soundtrack.
Several of the songs included have a secondary link to the plot and I’m sure this selection was in part because Lindsay, performing here in a glorious mustard-coloured velvet suit, had lived in Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski’s doomed home immediately prior to them.
In fact, he shared it with well-known record producer Terry Melcher, who Charles Manson is asking after in the one brief appearance 'he' makes in the film. I wouldn't normally cite such a piece of ghoulish trivia, but here it is to emphasise how QT's cinematic depiction somehow manages to transform probably Hollywood’s most squalid and luridly familiar tragedy into a surprisingly uplifting halcyon fantasy.

VIDEO INFO: The definitive of only a handful of recreations of the duet with The Cardigans’ Nina Persson (dressed in, erm, a cardigan) at the 2007 Glastonbury Festival.
Though this is an exotically rare dynamic for the band, everything else about the song was quintessentially Manics and a return to form – the wordy title lifted straight from a suicide note, the dark inflections contrasting Richey Edwards with Syd Barrett.
Nicky Wire lifts verbatim the “Trade All Your Heroes For Ghosts” lyric from ‘Wish You Were Here’ – one of several laments to the memory of Pink Floyd’s own disturbed, AWOL intellectual who had himself died not long before.
The tempestuous subject matter, set to JDB’s most sugar-coated chords, was propelled to the higher reaches of the singles chart from where they had been absent for some time but, being the Manics, it peaked at No.2, missing out on top spot to Beyonce in May 2007.
