This was the first
attempt at this song, the sessopn having been organised by Guy Robinson.
It does sound as if it is the Pirates themselves
playing, rather than session men. The rough-edged rawness was probably
exciting onstage but may have precluded a
release as far as HMV were concerned. Besides, matters were not
going to be helped by Johnny slinking off to a beach at Bournemouth and
being hauled back late! This version did see the light of day by
mistake as the flipside to the
re-activated "Shakin' All Over"
single on EMI in 1976. The
second, more commercial attempt shows a difference in the
groups' studio sound in just ten months after Clem Catinni and Brian
Gregg had joined Alan Caddy, even if assisted by Joe Moretti. |
