We once spent a lovely lunch time with William where we were joking that Billy Idol's cover must have been his oddest but most valuable cover version.

William said 'no no that sold 4 million copies, so it was good, but 5 million copies of the album with Homer Simpson's Born Under A Bad Sign surely beats it'.

one of Levines old acts, before anyone says anything about Laura i saw her live in a friends club in Liverpool around this time [83] and she was fantastic!

 

 

 

By coincidence just came across this on You Tube this morning.

 

Northern Soul meets Surf.

 

 

Getting serious for a moment I think this was recorded after the Invitations version but released before it.

Terrible version that Beach Girls.  It's probably The Toys.

Very good chance Pete. Label, writers etc. etc.

 

The lead vocal lets it down more than anything. Very weak. But maybe a rushed production job for a throw away B-side.
