O/T Cover versions

Siouxsie And The Banshees do a good job of Dear Prudence originally by The Beatles.

A post script to Monty on Peter Shellcock. I found him on Facebook through an intermediary and we are now in touch . He's delighted to hear from me after nearly sixty years!

Good news, CT!

This thread has got me listening to some old tracks again. Excellent cover versions imo are Patti Smith Gloria, The Clash Police and Thieves and of course Soft Cell Tainted Love. Quite enjoyed too The Bangles Hazy Shade of Winter, The Wedding Present Make Me Smile, Roxy Music Jealous Guy and The Who Summertime Blues although I remain a fan of the great and much lamented Eddie Cochran. And a band I used to really like back in the day although I'm not sure why was Eddie and the Hot Rods. They did a lively version of The Kids are Alright on the LP Teenage Depression but you really had to see them live.

Going Back To My Roots - Originally by Lamont Dozier. Richie Havens version is a lot more funky and one of the better covers of this song.

Never heard them but some people reckon they should have made it big. Ray Higgins, Dave Seville and Mick Wilson all doing other things now but they may do the odd reunion gig? Just seem to remember someone mentioning this but it was a few years back.

This is a powerful cover, Bettye La Vette doing Love Reign O’er me By the Who.I think Bigladon Os will like this.

Thanks, Lol. Just listened to a live performance on YouTube. Daltry and Townsend in the audience looking genuinely moved.

Casper, here's another claim to fame for the Sheffields - check the poster on the wall between the two guys.

They had several hits in the UK and USA
