Is it psychedelic, is it prog? Who knows. It has a melotron. Maybe it's a rock track with a melotron. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
When it finally gets going, it's a fairly straightforward cover of the Undertones song, purportedly John Peel's favourite.
There's no uke. Which is unusual for me lately. Drums, bass and rock organs.
And a somewhat premature ending, fitting for a song about teenage lust
Enjoy
:)

Top-notch choice and treatment - and an excellent example of an unexpected psychedelic version of a punk-pop classic.
Loved it!

Far out man - a super trippy rendition of a classic 80s tune. Love it.

Brilliant version Nick, really imaginative. I too love the long build up, there's some cool sounds in there and if you hadn't told me in the blurb what the song was, the vocals would have been really unexpected, so you definitely fulfilled the brief. It's psychedelic, unexpected and huge fun.

I think it's totally fucking brilliant. Such invention and daring! And the Strawberry Fields mellotron flute works great. Fine work!

A big powerful trippy sound, the bass really is driving this. Very unique and a great listen. Willie
