My cover of the Roxy Music song Do The Strand for the RM fest.

Usually when I do a cover I kind of ignore the original one come up with my own version. This one is as straight a cover as I could muster though.

Keyboards, bass and drums are GB. The sax parts are actually done on a Mellotron ap. Guitar is my Tokai Tele. Vocals from my gob.

Fantastic! It really is quite faithful to the original, with a great Ferry style to your vocal and the guitars and Mellotron sax really seal the deal.

Well done, Nick!

Epic! Great style and delivery on the vocal, and there's some real 'oomph' to the guitar. Very fine job replicating McKay's sax too. Completely faithful to the original but with your own stamp clearly applied. What a superb job!

Cracking cover Nick !  Great job on the sax parts and the backing is almost indistinguishable from the original ! Top vocal too !

One of my favorite RM songs!

The mellotron really tricked me
Loved the singing particularly the french parts
The drums were spot on. Did you program them?

Wow that mellotron sax sounds wonderful here. Sounds like really great, punky glam. Your backing and vocal performance are impeccable.
