REVIEWS
Average points: 4.4 (Reviews: 10)
*****
Gelungenes Cover vom '68er Song von "The Equals", hier schön auf Punkrock aufgemotzt. Diese Version kam bei Punkrockern dermassen gut an, dass zB Die Toten Hosen es 1987 coverten und davon eine starke Live-Version veröffentlichten.
****
Rockt!
****
Jedenfalls besser, auch wenn Eddy Grant es schrieb.

Yuhuuu!
****
...kann mich nicht recht anfreunden mit diesem Track....
*****
very good
****
Eine bessere Interpretation des Equals-Schlagers. Mag ich auch lieber als das Original.
****
gefällt mir besser als die Version von The Equals – stimmiges, gut rockendes Stück, abgerundete 4.5…
****
... hmm, besser als die Eagles-Nummer? Naja ist eben Geschmacksache ...
*****
Kuuhl, so wie dieses Stück hätte von mir aus das gesamte
"Sandinista!" Album tönen dürfen....

@fleet61: Eagles and Equals = Not the same! :)
