Thanks! Let me mention that, with reference to
RépondreSupprimerrock 'n' roll revivalism, this may be the strangest
thing I've ever heard of. Just part of what makes it
mystifying is the inclusion, in 1972, of "One Hand
Loose." According to Discogs, the original Charlie
Feathers version was not reissued until 1973 (and
I don't think it could have become very well known
until at least a couple of years later). It seems
paradoxical, therefore, that these guys who were so
deliberately unoriginal could also be so far ahead
of their time.

Certainly. But my point is that in 1972, not to mention in England,
RépondreSupprimer"One Hand Loose" would have been quite an obscurity. By contrast,
all of the other songs would have been very well known. (Indeed, it's
likely that they were chosen because they would be familiar even to
an audience in China.) To me, this is a situation in which a cover
band not only follows the rules (by recording an album's worth of
world-famous hits) but also breaks the rules (by including a song
that had barely even been a local hit).
Uncle Gill, thank you. I owned this album back in the day, but I had forgotten about it.

This cover was a piss-take, pure and simple.
