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.

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?

Didn't Dave Flynn compile some sterling research on this subject for the benefit and betterment of mankind!!!?

"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?

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.

Athens Rogues C/U as Vondells

Sandpipers C/U was First Grade on Frog

Cheers Tony - Told you I was probably wrong!

I'd forgotten about the First Grade track - Ive got it somewhere, must dig it out!

I know they were heavily played around the same kind of time, hence the confusion.

Sam used to play THe Bell Brother - Give it up - Bell-O-Soul at Stafford in the top room. This may be the one as they sing "Give it up, Give it up baby"

Also from around 1982 there's a record (?UK only) by David Emmanuel called "Giving up on love", it might be that as I seem to remember Pat Brady playing at Cleethorpes.

Pat Brady definately played this covered up (as well?) Have it on a tape from Stafford with him playing it.

Can anyone remember what  Roy Dawson ... over the top, was covered as.

If my memory serves me well it was the Southwind movement, or some thing like that ?

Also seem to remember a Kelly St.claire cover up that turned out to be Cathy Carol on Dot.
