I saw these play this song on The Tube tv show and recorded their performance by putting a tape recorder next to the telly. It was all I ever heard by them until the internet and I played that tape to death! I think it's way better than the original too.

 

[mrs quoad]

Winehouse's Valerie is the only acceptable version, imo.

 

[krink]

They split up after this, their second 12" single, was released so there sadly wasn't anything more to hear. The Coyne brothers (bass and vocals) formed the Godfathers who were good for a bit then not as interesting but quite popular for several albums thereafter. The other two became the Unholy Trinity who released a great demo quality 5 track EP then packed up. Sid Presley Experience graffiti used to adorn the walls of Herne Hill and elsewhere before the singles came out so I was vaguely aware of them before I'd heard them.

i might be alone in preferring the original but this cover is still superb

Not particularly unusual version, maybe an unusual tune to cover at all. Good.
