EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL UK 7" DEMO/PROMO RELEASE
DREAMS Featuring ERIC BELL of THIN LIZZY
The story of Dreams goes back to mid 1968 when it was decided to build a band around JOHN FARRELL who had already enjoyed success with the beat group THE MOVEMENT who had already released two critically acclaimed singles in Ireland and the UK during 67/68.
The band consisted of: John Farrel, Eric Bell, Shay O Donoghue, Aiden Magennis, Dougie Mc Ilwaine, Jim Hudson, Joey Geoghan and Mark Mc Cormack. They were signed to DOLPHIN RECORDS and their first record “I WILL SEE YOU THERE” which was specially written for then by ALAN BLAKLEY and LEN HAWKES members of THE TREMELOES.
The record was an immediate success and reached number 14. In September of 1968 the B side was an original song ”A BOY NEEDS A GIRL” written by The keyboard player SHAY O DONOHUE which included as ERIC mentioned in an interview some years ago this song was the first Irish record with feedback.
This was soon followed by what has been described over the years as one of the best original songs to come from the show band era it was of course “BABY I’M YOUR MAN” again written by SHAY O DONOHUE and AIDEN MAGENNIS which had already been a huge hit for DICKIE ROCK and The MIAMI SHOWBAND back in 67, DREAMS reached number 15 with this which was backed by the equals number “SOFTLY SOFTLY”.
