    Think this youtube version is a tad slow maybe -2 Kirsty

  • On what planet should this even be in the same room as Mary Wells. Christ on a bike!

  • Just another version. Nothing special in my opinion. Funny to read that apparently Kenny Burrell bought the first copy known to the NS scene in the late 90s and least one guy (Gasher) was impressed. F

Kenny Burrell review taken from Dave Rimmers Soulful Kinda Music issue 32 December 1997.

Linda Hawley - Use Your Head - Excalibur

The first of several cover versions on this tape and I have to say for me this is far superior to the Mary Wells classic. It's more uptempo with superior arrangement and not too well known.

I have to disagree with Kenny though as I prefer the Mary Wells version.

Regarding when was the Excalibur release of Use Your Head, it would have been Spring 1981.  

Just another version. Nothing special in my opinion. Funny to read that apparently Kenny Burrell bought the first copy known to the NS scene in the late 90s and least one guy (Gasher) was impressed. Fast forward to 2022 there are 8 copies for sale on Discogs starting at €18. No buyers.
