The success of Rhino’s 1998 Nuggets boxset justified a follow-up. The sequel covers the rest of the world since the first volume only chronicled the USA.
Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1964–1969 emerged in 2001. It features music from countries such as Iceland, Uruguay, and Japan. I’m profiling and rating each of the 109 tracks, working backwards.
Track 92 – Vacuum Cleaner by Tintern Abbey
From: London, England

Credits
4/11. VACUUM CLEANER – Tintern Abbey (U.K.)
(David MacTavish)
PERSONNEL/DAVID MacTAVISH: vocals * DAN SMITH: lead guitar * STUART MacKAY: bass * JOHN DALTON: drums
Produced by JONATHAN WEBBER
Recorded in London, England
Deram single #DM-164 (1967)
Tintern Abbey
Stuart MacKay bought an electric guitar and formed The Strangers, who specialised in Shadows covers. He met David MacTavish at the dole office – MacTavish invited him to join his fledgling band. They named their band Tintern Abbey, after the Wordsworth poem.
The group only issued one single – ‘Vacuum Cleaner’ was the b-side.
David had an acoustic guitar which he used in songwriting and sometimes insisted on continuing to play this as the group developed a number. The initial rendition of ‘Vacuum Cleaner’ as David presented it was in a ‘hillbilly’ style and obviously had scope for improvement. Don Smith and I immediately launched into a raunchy driving beat which lifted the number to a higher level, although David did keep trying to strum his rhythm guitar throughout! When we were in the studio we did persuade him to drop the rhythm guitar and Don overdubbed additional guitar backing together with the incredible lead break which has become the hallmark of the number.
Stuart MacKay, The Strange Brew
Vacuum Cleaner
Released in 1967, ‘Vacuum Cleaner’ is trippy. There’s a pretty melody, but it’s offset by the extroverted drumming and the psychedelic guitar. It’s a little like a minor league ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’.
The lines “Fix me up with your sweet dose/Now I’m feeling like a ghost” perfectly encapsulate the pervasive, dreamlike quality of Tintern Abbey’s “Vacuum Cleaner.” This eerie piece of psychedelia glides on a deep, roiling bass line, and the haunted vocal melody is accented by splashing cymbals and a surging feedback solo.
Mike Stax, Nuggets II liner notes
Vacuum Cleaner
The Aftermath
Guitarist Paul Brett joined after ‘Vacuum Cleaner’, but enjoyed the most successful career of any of the Tintern Abbey members. He also played with Roy Harper, Arthur Brown, and The Strawbs.

Looks like you accidently posted the wrong video, of “My Life” by Thor’s Hammer, which as I just looked up is the next track on Nuggets II after “Vacuum Cleaner.” I think both songs are pretty good! 🙂
Here’s a clip of “Vacuum Cleaner” – cool bassline!

Thanks for letting me know, I cloned last week’s Nugget but forgot to change the video
I subbed in your video.
Just listened to the first song. Very solid performance.
I’ve been pretty impressed by Nuggets II so far – most of the songs are fantastic but super obscure.
I love this…I like the space they left in the recording and that bass doing all sorts of things. This era in bass playing was great because they could run wild against mid tempo psychedelic music.
And I guess McCartney got in there early and provided a template.
I went to Tintern Abbey last week.
Serendipitous!
Brilliant and innovative guitar solo, and that drumming!
One of many Nuggets band where it’s a shame they didn’t record more.
