that the pretenders hit 'i go to sleep' was actually a cover of a non charter from '65 by the applejacks (how had a huge hit with the excellant pop track 'tell me when')

 

oh and heres 'tell me when' :)

 

 

 

are there any other tracks that youve since discovered are covers?... 'bank robber' for eg was originally by the bobby fuller 4... covered by the clash.

I never knew that One Step Beyond was a cover until I read TiP's post in the reggae album thread.

thanks for correcting me! :)

I knew that it was written by Ray Davies, got it on a Kinks CD somewhere.

 

He also wrote David Watts which was a big hit for the Jam.

i guess if id have got an early kinks album, or the pretenders cover i might have noticed that he wrote it..

 

didnt he write 'stop your sobbing'? too... great track by the pretenders.
