Terrible Rock cover of an average 60s tune.

Please step away from the record box.

I've always liked this.

I have a copy somewhere. This was booted wasn't it - pretty sure mine is a boot.

Out of curiosity what's the orignial of this worth.

don`t give di bullets to fire pete, ive had it all morning

i suppose it defined the time,still a great track tho imo.

I dunno, I really hated it when it was being played, always got me off the dancefloor, as far as I'm concerned it's a heavy rock record and it really does sound like it's cover up artist - Bob Seger

Was just thinking, a few years ago he (Jim Messina) contacted me and said he had something very special from that period that he wanted me to hear, he never did send whatever it was

absolutely in agreement..

can see your point pete, suppose it was a time and place thing, funny how many people ive talked to who disliked john leech, then after the jc messina one came the lamont cranston band, do we thik richard was a secret rock fan

I never liked John Leach either, in fact I think I only ever knew one person who did like it at the time!

Agree on this one Pete - it was shite.

lonely man and backwards upside down were also spun,.also like respectable.....

Did four boss LP's,had em' all at one time or other !!.........lookin' for the Outsiders"in" LP anybody? cheap would be good!!and stone mint even better.

I think it sounds like a cross between The Who and R.E.O speedwagon love the outsiders version though its the tops and Lonely man , what a stomper

What outsiders LP ?...........tenner i s'pose its not mint !! i have a outsiders LP dont want loads of the same LP,can you do us a track listing please........i mean they did four LPs.ta !!Ken

to me absolute garbage

sounds like a white guy,tryin to be soulful and failing

no soulful content,the worse type of record from the Wigan era

Think your wife is right.

An example of a record that's rare because

...........it didn't sell..........

............because it's awful

well she`s right all the rest of the time so why not now

Thank you!.

yeh, it's pants.. LOL.. well, its ok for a 70's pop record. (if that's what it is?)

I know what Di's getting at. It's a bit like pinball wizard meets early whitesnake for me. A deffo rock vocal singing a pop song with a bit of soulful brass in the background...

Jayne.x

Just as bad as I remembered it.

Somebody please pour boiling wax down my lug'oles - it would be more pleasant.

i have both j.c. messina and outsiders versions (ovo) and i love them both

Oh my good god!!! Who first listened to that and thought "that will go down well"

That is truly awful

Agree on this one Pete - it was shite.

john leach - brilliant

j c messina - brilliant

outsiders - we aint gonna make it - brilliant

all quality dancers

Oh my good god!!! Who first listened to that and thought "that will go down well"

That is truly awful

ERR! RICHARD SEARLING, circa 77/78 covered as bob segers heavy music, despite comments it was a monster in its time, as i said earlier a time and place thing i think
