The First Class - Beach Baby

70`s studio-based band featuring Tony Burrows (lead vocals) ,Chas Mills & John Carter who had a Worldwide hit in 1974 with Beach Baby.
The above 3 musicians had no interest in undertaking any live performances so they recruited 5 other guys to perform most live appearances. The 5 guys in the "live" band never appeared on any of the band`s studio recordings.
The record sleeve pictures which show five band members are those who undertook the live dates but dont sing on the recordings !
However the photo on the band`s first album `The First Class ` which features 8 band members is made up of the 3 who actually performed the songs plus the 5 from the "live" band - confused - you should be !
PS there are 2 performances by the band on youtube with this song . The 70`s colour video is the "live band " who dont feature on the recording.
There is also a more recent amateur video of Tony Burrows performing the song circa 2004 , 30 years after he originally recorded it.
