The Orchestra released four studio albums, 'East Meets West: Famous Hits of the Beach Boys and the Four Seasons' (1964), '16 Hip Hits' (1964), 'Lionel Bart's Maggie May' (1964), and 'Rolling Stones Songbook' (1966).
Rolling Stones Songbook features the orchestrated version of the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song 'The Last Time', which was sampled by The Verve for their track 'Bitter Sweet Symphony'. Licensing issues over the sample caused the copyright of the song to revert to ABKCO Records and the composition to Jagger and Richards.

What everybody else said. It's truly bizarre how "This Could Be The Last Time" morphed into this beautiful thing, and then this beautiful thing morphed into "Bittersweet Symphony", one of the greatest songs ever made. Sometimes you just gotta put down the "you stole this!" pitchfork and torch and just appreciate the music. This to me is a rare, brilliant example of how one song can be made from another and work OH so well. 🙂

Yeah I can still hear the violin riff melody in this version and the way they play the chords in expression even chords progression isn’t copyrighted but the expressed way is and in the same rhythm and the strings and the melody is exactly the same so Bittersweet Symphony is too awfully close to this!
@efan2012
Indeed. It's honestly amazing. The Last Time imo is one of the Stones's more underrated songs, then Oldham did this version which is gorgeous. Then BS came out all those years later and is iconic on it's own right.
@Deep.Purple
Except the Verve got permission from Decca to use that clip and then Decca did what a lot of crooks did... tell them that the deal wasn't enough and they would have to give them 100% of the royalties from the Verves song through extortion. Alan Kline also a notorious crook jumped in and demanded 100% and signed it away for $1. Kline did the same thing to George Harrison. AND if that all isn't enough the STONES took the song "The last time" from the Staple Singers. Which you can still go listen to and hear the same lyrics and melody. The Stones didn't really change anything in the song and the staple singers never got a dime from it. The music industry is F-ed up. Crooks one and all.

It literally feels like you're walking in paradise listening to this. Imagine hearing this live

Maybe it feels a little bit more like walking down a street without paying attention to passers-by. In doing so, I arbitrarily push other passers-by aside and just walk over a car. I don't really have a clue how I got this idea.
@cllewis1
@@PM-vv3uc Man, I felt the same way and I don't know why.
