[bond00777777]

great time great girls

[marmite400]

Why does the beginning have to sound like Coronation Street?

[totoche34]

trop bon ça sonne à mort !

[RetroCool73]

I think CCS must have made the 50 second "TOTP Version" espcially for the show, as there is no way it's an abridged version of this.

[TomHafely]

What happened to the song 'Timothy"

[TomHafely]

What happened to the song 'Timothy

".

[theone225]

Beatles are greatest band ever. Michael is the geatest artist ever. Fact

[1FineYoungCannibal]

I like the Nazi girl model at 1:50 the best.

[OlBlueshound]

CCS also did "The Band Played The Boogie - and the People Danced on" and "Cannibal Sheep". but you never see or hear "Cannibal Sheep" any more, seems to have disappeared from the worlds music achieves. Great band Great time and Great Girls in FABULOUS outfits, love it!

[pontello3]

cool covers!

and cool track! :)

[halvaman3]

that was hot. Ive always loved this version over zeppelins. it just reminds me that the best rock'n roll is the devils music!! and weren't those women just the devils women lol har har har

[chris6zep]

@halvaman3 Heathen! :')

[valeymac]

love this song, sends me right back to the 70's lovin it xx

[spike89980]

superb



[TheElementalmagick]

Phenomenal.. I LOVE this version !!

[porridgeeveryday]

i use to buy these albums believing they were the original artists; only to discover subsequently i had been had, much to my chagrin. my 10p a week pocket money which i saved up was spent needlessly on these frauds.

[jnmklo9]

Led Zep are really overated plagaristic wankers apart from that there not bad lol

[hotelBroslin]

The breakdown was also used during the scene change at Raymond's Revue Bar in Soho during the 80's.

[da162da]

What memories.

Thanks a million for this.

[cosycleaner]

takes ya back eh? best TOTP theme ever...

[Dwade3WJPR]

This is stupid theres only one good version and thats ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!!!! this is insulting

[arjaybee56]

@Dwade3WJPR

Ah there speaks the voice of ignorant youth. Without Alexis Korner there more than likely would not have been a Led Zeppelin..............

[leonaofficial]

@Dwade3WJPR If only I could be so musically ignorant and narrow minded in my musical tastes as you LOL

[ukgolfa]

Alexis Korner was a visionary; heard this as a kid prior to Led Zep's version, and this still remains for me the defintiive combination of rock, pop, soul and blues, and one of the best instrumentals ever...with the possibly exception of 'Albatross', by Fleetwood Mac.

Happy trolling, peace..

The Brit.

[Giblinkbob]

U put a lot into this and its great, thanks!!

[RockNFuckingRoll95]

Alexis Korner is a legend.

[MrRumBull]

Hiiiiiiiiiigh School, CLASSSSSSSSSS'ic  AZTEC GLory

[helltopay1]

In the long hot summer of'76 I was a van salesman for pickwick records I was 21 world at me feet great days.

[sidthesquid74]

@fatpizzaman - if you look from 1:25 onwwards, bottom left hand corner it also says "easy one the eye!!!!"

[sidthesquid74]

It's also nice to know that some paid 77p for the album - pause it at 2:31 !!!

[sidthesquid74]

This video makes me wanna go back to vinyl.......

[fatpizzaman]

Vinyl rocks dude. That's how rock'n'roll started out on and it's there to stay in spite of CD, DVD, MP3, digital download, and other ethereal formats.

[jaguaret]

I have to admit, these cover were the source of my early teen boy discoveries. I remember the one thats slightly see through very much. I remember me and my older sis pi**ing ourselves over HOT LOVE. No one could scowl like Bolan. Great post, oh, Iv'e gone all damp....

[bobbysaab]

i never said i enjoyed them, i was aged about 10 or 11 when i got it with my pocket money, can't remember exactly which one it was but i think it was the one with jeepster & coz i love you on it, i thought i was buying an album with original artist's on it,

[THCSOUNDS1]

genial un gran cover !!

[bobbysaab]

i watched a documentary a long time ago and it informed you that he did sing&play piano etc on those crap lp's, when i found out they were covers i didn't buy anymore

[lesterpiglet1]

If you enjoyed them why did finding out they were covers make a difference?

[xanadu500]

I miss THE TOP OF THE POPS albums.

I have a great selection though, but I don't have them all.

Best albums ever!

[bobbysaab]

all of the top of the pops lp's were cover versions and were absolute crap, i think elton john sung a few of them before he made it himself

[xanadu500]

Elton John never sung on the "Top of the pop" . The covers were so good you could not tell whether it was Elton John or not :-)

[45rpmSINGLES]

some 16 of Elton`s cover versions are on his CD " Legendary Covers as sung by Elton John" - from Amazon etc !

[bond00777777]

NICE !!!

[0132222]

ukgolfa - totally right - we had a collection of these albums, lotta memories. Which Queen of New Orleans was great at 2.,20! Now chaps - fav bird on the albums. Gotta say 1.57 will take some beating..

[ukgolfa]

@0132222 It's a tie: 1:30 and 1:45 for me, mate..I've always preferred threesomes in my fantasies..!

Cheers.

[ukgolfa]

..when you think about it, with the exception of vocals, almost every genre of music is represented here..Three and a half minutes of brilliance.

The dog's bollocks, is this...

[klnine]

i hate to say it as a Zep fan ..i prefer this version ! For the Tull fan they also do a good "teacher"

[orangetransformer]

you can't call yourself a zeppelin fan if you like this more than the zeppelin version... no offense but this version blows

[klnine]

yes i know when i told my old mate "Planty" that he almost threw a beer over my head ! Good job Bozo was dead by then !

[marand75]

Guitarist was a danish dude named Jorgen Thorup. He could do stuff on his beat-up Fender guitar! Died last year.

[benlebum]

No it was Peter Thorup, but it´s true that he died last year. See Beefeaters for more Peter Thorup

[arancienne]

lol i thought this was cansei de ser sexy

[Huffy1001]

Thanks 45rpmSINGLES YOU ROCK!!!!

[ukgolfa]

This just might be heresy, but as a lad of 9, and because I heard this first as the intro to TOTP, I thought this was absolutely bazzin...and then I filled out my trousers and heard Led Zep's version, and was actually disappointed...

Alexis Korner was a visionary.

Cheers for this.

[jnmklo9]

Wow ccs does Zeppelin's cover of Muddy Waters song

[gallafey]

the BBC had released Top Of The Pops 70s Rock (great album) A totp 80's album

and there is a seires of TOTP repasenting each year since 1964

[gallafey]

I do believe that these Top Of The Pops albums had nothing to with the BBC1 show as all the tracks were not sung the origanal artist, all th the BBC did actually release a 25th Anniversry double album in 1989 but wasn't until I think 1995 that the BBC released a TOTP compalation CD with latest hits on but as with 25th anniversy edtion it had the origanal artist on it there been other BBC TOTP albams as well

[Glenn1967ful]

They also had a smaller hit with Brother, which was the theme music for the Top 20 in the seventies.

[FLTlingit]

Wow, Tull does Zeppelin!

Heavy man!

[karakorak]

It's not Tull, it's C.C.S. Tull aren't the only ones with a flute.

[miclu1960]

RIP Peter Thorup!

[mirrejve]

So good!

[katwanc]

Not only a great song, but a brilliant video.

Being a child of the seventies I remember my older sisters having some of the albums and now watching this video saying I remember that one... 

Ah sweet memories...

[ColumRogers]

That is brilliant.

[yodasteveo]

The Greatest Riff EVER!!

[number1saxophone]

Creedence Clearwater Symposium?

[Bleadbelly1]

Collective Consciousness Society led by Alexis Korner

[sidthesquid74]

Also, the beginning reminds me of Coronation Street

[sidthesquid74]

Does anybody see it says "Easy on the Eye" at the bottom of each album sleeve.

I like this version but love the Zep's better. Undoubtedly!!

[nickbaldeagle01]

This is one of those rare occasions where the cover version is arguably better than the original.

[number1covers]

For "nickbaldeagle01". You rang, sir?

[Glenn1967ful]

They also did the theme music to the Radio 1 Top 20 in the 70s- Brother- not as big a hit, but familiar to Radio 1 listeners in the seventies.

[vrouwkje]

Great!!

[justcrosby59]

your taking way back to my teenage years !, First time I have heard the song in stereo !

[laggie24]

We were the children of the revolution...ahha... and glad we were there!

[Robangels2]

This is a great version from one of the best bands ever !!!

[GriefTourist]

takes me right back

[usbreaks]

[merthyrliam2]

tidy, class music

[coveralbums]

I'm a top of the pops collector..... nice to see the first 32 remembered.

[PCMusic75]

The first time I can hear this in stereo ! Thanks for posting this version.

[mrdee11091]
