Having deemed it successful, they recorded Take 2 of the full song and that is the take used for the final releases. It was probably done only as an experiment to see how the co-lead guitar idea would work. The first take is only the guitar, bass and drums of the intro, first verse and first chorus. He and Jeff play co-lead guitar throughout. Rex fame was present and played on several ELO tracks, including Ma-Ma-Ma Belle. The meaning of "Auntie" as a title is unknown.ĭuring the studio recording, Marc Bolan of T. Early working titles for the song were Auntie, Auntie Bollocks (an inside joke) and My Woman (heard as a lyric on the demo). Being just a month later that it was recorded, the band had worked up the song and practiced it well enough to do it in two quick takes while in the studio. The song, supposedly written (at least in part) on a toilet (according to Tony Beard), was demoed to the rest of the band in March of that year in a very rough format using just rhythm guitar and rough vocals by Jeff with Richard Tandy assisting on keyboard. It is uncertain when the vocals and strings were recorded, although it's very possible it was done the same day.

The song was recorded with only two takes, with the second take being the released album/single version. The basic track for Ma-Ma-Ma Belle was originally recorded at AIR Studios in the UK in April, 1973 during sessions comically referred to at the time as the Elizabeth Lister Observatory (E.L.O.) sessions that also produced Showdown and Dreaming Of 4000.

Should you need a print-out of the song, PDF versions (without banners or adverts) are available from the link at the bottom of each song page. They are being shared on this site for educational purposes only, please see our copyright page for more info. These transcriptions are made by many different individuals from all over the world for their own research and instruction and as such should not be considered definitive "official" versions or representative of any particular artist or performance. However, as the main purpose is to provide the songs that site visitors are looking for, I have opted to also include many songs in the "associated" category, I hope this does not offend too many or cause you to grind your teeth when you look through the list of included songs below. This connection may simply be that they are often performed by "Irish" bands and again this is a problematic definition.

WHEN PUTTING THIS collection together, I was torn between including only songs which did really originate from Ireland, and songs which were commonly associated with, or considered to have some connection with Irish music.
