Cover Versions

[Richard A Thackeray]

The Polecats superb rockabilly interpretation of Bowie's John I'm Only Dancing

I have that. on 10" pink vinyl

While in a 'billy frame of mind, this Stray Cats version of "You Can't Hurry Love" basically p*ss*s all over that baldy git form Genesis, whatever his name was.

It was the B-side to the 'Rock This Town' single
Some of mine, with a Theatre of Hate 7" sneaking in, for diversity

ELO's take on "Roll Over Beethoven" knocked both Chuck Berry's original and the Beatles cover out of the park.
Prelude showed Neil Young how "After the Goldrush" should be done.
Johnny Allen and Dave Edmunds (with Geraint Watkins) both owned "Promised Land" with their covers of Chuck Berry's original.
Don't get me wrong, Chuck Berry has produced some brilliant work in his own right that it would be foolish to cover.

Roger.

 

[VelvetUnderpants]

The best version.
