Jimmy Hughes, though, seems to foretell Al Green, which is kinda outre for 1965. <br /><br />The Merseyside bands competed to plant their stakes in great but less-traveled blues and R'n'B covers. The Searchers found some of the best, and made them their own.<br /><br />APAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-86105130776335954032011-03-03T12:02:44.381-05:002011-03-03T12:02:44.381-05:00I've never heard either of these singles. So I...I've never heard either of these singles. So I thought I'd do an experiment to see if it is true, as they say, that there would be a bias to prefer the version I heard first. I suspected that I would probably like the Searchers version the best. So I listened to the Jimmy Hughes version a couple of times first. <i>Then</i> I listened to the Searchers version. Verdict: Searchers is better. The harmonies are great. The overall sound is cohesive. But that little rhythm guitar sting, as Geor3ge points out, really makes it. So much for the "hearing it first" bias. (Nothing wrong with Jimmy Hughes' voice, though. It's damned ethereal.)Fazenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-42111468548070767642011-03-03T10:56:47.383-05:002011-03-03T10:56:47.383-05:00I got it from Negativland.
