But it was nothing but ... |

I'm not at home, so I can't check, but isn't there a small pic in the booklet that came with 'The Long Road Home' that shows Allan in full gunfighter gear? |

Thanks for the tip, James - I ordered this CD on a whim while I was in the UK and it was waiting for me when I got home. Great music! |

Interesting that Allan claimed a role in writing "Keep Off That Friend of Mine"...the only credits I've ever seen for that tune say it was written by Tony and Bobby. |

I was at St. Paul's Gallery in August, 2005, for an event that featured similar fine art prints of the covers of the two Move LPs that Carl appeared on. While the proceeds were going to Carl's canc ... |

Vrinda, my understanding is the same as John's. George did not like The Hollies version at all! But I've never heard anything about any personal relationship between the two. I assume there was alw ... |

It's covers of five big hits (each) from The Hollies, The Tremeloes and The Kinks. Class of '64 plays pretty straight versions of these songs, and while the CD is fun, I was a bit disappointed that t ... |

Coincidentally, The Hollies "Leave Me" always sounds to me like something The Raiders could have had fun with! Echoes of "It's Just Like Me".... |
