in town Mikey 989 Posted September 16, 2004 I used to like the cover up names that lasted almost as long as the song. Stuff like: The Pusseycats - featuring Virginia Blakeley - Winds kept laughing at me. And also cover - ups by Keb. What was the point. As stated earlier he sounds like he is gurgling with a bag of ball bearings in a wind tunnel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markw 835 Posted September 16, 2004 A few I can remember (I've always had trouble remembering the actual titles and artists!) - for some reason these stick in the head: Tempests - Someday - c/u as Bobby Paris Big Frank & The Essence - c/u as Big Joe Ivory's Brass Sam Fletcher - c/u as George Kirby Mellow Souls - c/u as Del Larks William Powell - Heartached Souvenirs - c/u as Bobby Powell (I think) and what was that horrid BBC TV instrumental Guy played in the early 80s?

mark b 180 Posted September 16, 2004 when was this covered up as it was played at the mecca as a virtually new release and it was'nt covered then as i got one the next week from spin-inn, mark sorry should have added this Carstairs-Happy Day(Flame n King) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene-R 471 Posted September 16, 2004 .and what was that horrid BBC TV instrumental Guy played in the early 80s? "Ring The Changes" by Paradox on UK Polydor (1968) covered up as "Eve Of Destruction" by the Ross Robinson Orchestra. It was the B-side to "The Wednesday Play", the A-side of which I believe was a BBC theme. Ironic, as "On The Brink" by Mike Vickers (aka "Boogaloo Investigator" by Matt Parsons) was the previous theme to the Wednesday Play! "Lonely For You Baby" by Sam Dees was covered as "I'm Lonely" - Dan Brantley. This record does actually exist, and loads of people bought it hoping to get Sam Dees!!! Also, is it true that "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" by Dave Charles was covered up as........."Ain't Gonna Cry No More" by Dave Charles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiamGP 267 Posted September 16, 2004 I do remember when Mel Torme's 'Coming Home Baby' was being toted as this amazing undiscovered track by some now-forgotten DJ. I couldn't believe that people didn't know who it was by as it was a very well-known record - the 'B' side of 'Right Now' and a fairly substantial hit in the 50s.
