Love Sculpture

Love Sculpture were a Welsh blues rock band of the late 1960s, led by Dave Edmunds (born David William Edmunds, 15 April 1944 in Cardiff, Glamorgan, South Wales), plus bassist John David (born John David Williams, 19 January 1946 in Cardiff, South Wales) and drummer Rob "Congo" Jones (born Robert Jones, 13 August 1946 in Barry, Glamorgan, South Wales). Love Sculpture was founded in Cardiff, Wales in 1966 by former members of The Human Beans. The group disbanded in 1970, although Edmunds went on to enjoy solo success in the 1970s. The band are best known for their 1968 novelty hit in the UK Singles Chart, a high speed cover version of the classical piece "Sabre Dance" by Aram Khachaturian, released on the Parlophone label, which reached No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart in December 1968.

Links to Peel
"Sabre Dance" became a hit in 1968 after receiving air play by British DJ John Peel, who was so impressed that he played it twice in one programme. They recorded three sessions for Peel, twice in 1968 and once in 1969.
