I read a story on Deep Purple where they wanted to use Bombay Calling and rework it a bit and asked permission from It's A Beautiful Day and offered them a song from their catalog in a trade so as to avoid any hassles.
Interesting. I dont think they sound the same at all. Similar notes, but on the very different instruments and different scale, they are different enough that most ppl NEVER made the connection. (out of those that listened to both back in the day) I admire DP for asking permission, and changed it around enough to make it their own. I have alot of respect for both bands to allow the creativity to flow without looking for deeper pockets or a lawsuit down the road. Wish we could collaberate our government like that.

This day in Purple's history - 16th July 1969 Deep Purple rehearsed at The Hanwell Community Centre, London. "I remember we were in the Hanwell Community Centre, and I'd been listening to a great LP by a band called It's A Beautiful Day, which happened to have a song on it titled Bombay Calling. One day I came back from the pub and Jon Lord was messing around with the riff of Bombay Calling - which is like Child In Time only faster - and I thought it just sounded great. So I sat down and wrote some lyrics to go along with what Jon was doing on the keyboards. I think it's pretty obvious what the song is all about; it's just the way we felt about the world at that time. It's pretty depressing, I suppose, but then we could be miserable bastards at times. Still, I got a lot of screaming off my chest with that number. The following year we bumped into It's A Beautiful Day at an airport in America and they said they really liked the way we'd adapted Bombay Calling. Then they said, 'Ah, but wait until your hear our next album' ... and when we got a copy we found they'd completely ripped off our Wring That Neck track and called it something else! We could hardly complain, though. I didn't realize it at the time but I'd made a rod for my own back because it went very quickly from being a song to an Olympic event!" Ian Gillan th-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/w-d-xo.html
Actually Bombay Calling was written by Vince Wallace, premier sax player. He may have been in Orkustra earlier but I remember him in Little John an SF horn band around 1970-72. He also played a walk on at the Fillmore of the opening act (can't remember that musician) before Laura Nyro. Late concert maybe in the early 80's. Also saw Vince playing on the street during those years.
Another influence: DP's "Wring That Neck" intro vs. the Woody Woodpecker theme. [edit] Surprisingly, there are several covers of the Woody Woodpecker Song, including: *"Frank Sinatra - The Woody Woodpecker Song (radio)"* on TH-cam.
I appreciate the side-by-side. I had heard both songs, but listened to It's a Beautiful Day much more than Deep Purple, so I never put it together. So thanks for doing this and thanks for the research. Also nice to know that these bands were able to given and take like this without immediately going to their lawyers.
I was in the same boat, I saw It's A Beautiful Day open for Jethro Tull in October 1970, and was instantly a fan. I never really warmed up to Deep Purple, so never heard a comparison. I heard that there was a personal relationship between the two bands that likely led to an amicable resolution.
What you may not know is that the original Bombay Calling is by the San Francisco group the Orkustra, which Bobby Beausoleil was a part of. We're talking 66-67.
Yep, I've been aware of this for decades. It's A Beautiful Day's 'Marrying Maiden' album also had a few hooks that were borrowed by Deep Purple....check out the song "Don and Dewy"...sound very much like"Lazy". Deep Purple were obviously fans. Haven't heard anyone toss the word "plagiarism" around as they do with Led Zeppelin. Perhaps their time is gonna come ;)
It was a few years after I first heard Child in Time that I got hold of the then hard-to-find It’s a Beautiful Day album and heard Bombay Calling. The similarities were immediately unmistakable-particularly the main three-chord progression and the use of a middle section with a stepped up tempo. Less obviously, the listener can infer how Ian Gillian used the violin melody as a starting point for his vocal. However, with their individual talents and personalities, used the song as a springboard to something new. That’s how music so often works. It was classy of them to write IaBD about the song. I can think of certain musicians (for example, a guitarist whose initials are JP) who would outright steal without acknowledgement.
Thanks for the history lesson, fascinating! I'd heard bits and pieces before including an interview with Jon Lord. Everyone "borrows" - Led Zep from Truth, both from Willie Dixon; Black Sabbath from Crow Music by Crow (Great Album!); Doors from the Wolfman; Yoko Ono from Phillip Glass (just how much silence is a plagiarism of a longer piece of silence?) etc.. Please give some of your own examples of this form of "tribute".
Exactly the same...For me it was a bit of a disspointment, but then again child in time is the case of the version that is superior than the original. In this case way superior.
Ik ben nu 58 jaar en ken het nummer natuurlijk al heel lang. Maar dit wist ik niet. Onder het motto beter goed gejat beter dan zelf bedacht is dit nummer ontstaan. Wordt ook wel inspiratie genoemd Gejat klopt hier trouwens niet want het ging in goed overleg. Flower Power eerlijk zullen we alles delen. De bands inspireerde elkaar zo werkte dat vroeger.
proof that the children/people of the 60s 70s were exploding into a future of unrestrained pure creativity...but that reality could not absorb them so they fought them.....if you allow total creativity to totally expand it can only corrupt the beatific essence of so called what ever ness....all i can say is i saw a summer dream in my mind but i could not remember if i was there.

Well that's your right big fella...but why I'll never know...can you elaborate why?....why did you like him better? I thought Evans was good for the first Purple but too common...now Gillan, he's unique...nothing unique about Rod...

the main opening and other details can be found in Vince Wallace`s song of the same title and in a version of Little John...

But then Deep Purple did it again creating Lazy.
What song did they steal this time?
Jimmy Page had no use for this? 😉
When played live Jon Lord totally reworked it where they dont sound as similar.
I love Child in Time but cannot hear any resemblance to it.
Same chords but otherwise no similarity.

Dobri Hristov , bulgarian kompoziteur , 1875 - 1941 .
But what song exactly ?
Hmm I’ll take a look for the Hristov piece. As a commercial that long ran on US television said, many popular songs are based on classical melodies
The _"Made in Japan"_ version is vastly better.

Yes, Deep Purple ripped them off.
It was an openly-agreed-upon song exchange by both bands, so no one was ripped off.
No match for Deep Purple
It's A Beautiful Day had better music, better playing, plus the gorgeous Patti Santos. Deep Purple were mainly just loud and ridiculous. But that's what sells.

Deep Purple..."loud and ridiculous."? Loud, yes. But ridiculous? Poor choice of words, bud. What planet are you from?
You are wrong. Child in time is a masterpiece
What nonsense.
IBD is one of my favorites. Deep Purple has few songs I like, but it is not at all a same level band.
