Have a soft spot for these cover nods to the Mods
The Action with Reg King out the front are my favourite mod band - so soulful and totally unique in sound and quite different to The Who, Small Faces and Creation etc
Luv it, checking your cloud rn
Nice version Jese, love that Demis Roussos song. Actually that Vangelis song !, all versions i 've heard are great so far Odyssey - Who [1974] - YouTube
I like this - is it available anywhere please?
I think this is even better than St Etienne doing Only Love Can Break Your Heart Poolside – Harvest Moon (Official Audio) - YouTube
99th st mix is the one for me.
First heard this on Optimo’s 2006 Essential Mix, 1 of my favourite bands covering another of my favourite bands.
Jim O’Rourke is a god among men and this cover of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned tune originally performed by Mark Lindsay brings it to a new joyous level.
Love this album!

heard this on the cosmo balearic breakfast show- love it!
Always fun to drop this one and pull the ol’ MJ/Steely Dan switcheroo

Sweet balearic Satie cover (can you “cover” a classical piece??) from Mark Stewart of the Pop Group. Heard this on a Leo Mas mix years ago.

That’s so balearic that if it didn’t already exist someone would have to make it.
is very good indeed.
