From Rolling Stones Covers : Norton Records
For whatever reason, I’ve never really been attracted to the whole Rolling Stones thing. Sure, Exile was pretty good and some of their earlier stuff was alright, but I just could never connect with the music. But luckily, Norton Records is making me realize what I’ve been missing. They’ve started a series of split 7 inch records where some of the hottest garage rock bands in the universe cover the Stones song of their choice.
They’ve got 15 splits in the series and they’re all absolutely worth getting. What we’ve got here is the songs from two of them. We’ve got:
Boston’s rompous Lyres hop up a crack instro whammy on an early Nanker Phelge dance floor R&B workout in a cage match with flip elusives THE NEW CONOLLY 5, who polish off Phelger flip STONED from their unished 1 x 5 Brit LP!
And:
Double doser deluxe! Fan fave Motor City soul stormers pummel ‘68 Beggars Banquet with sympathy to spare while Phast Phreddie Patterson’s West Coast whompers (including DJ Bonebrake of X on marimbas!) special deliver the Love Supremes regal romp on the ‘67 stunner at their Satanic Majesties’ behest, of course! On with the show… and how! (Norton Records)
Really though, I’m not too familiar with the Stones, but these covers sound so good that I might just have to search for the originals.
