Slaughter & The Dogs - "You're Ready Now"(1979)

One of Manchester's finest Punk Bands' classic, stomping cover of the Frankie Valli(of The Four Seasons) 1966 solo record. "You're Ready Now," a Valli solo recording from 1966, became a surprise hit in Great Britain, as part of the Northern soul scene and hit number 11 on the British pop charts in December 1970.

THE best ever cover by of the Punk era.Still got the 7"

I agree Mr Hodge. Nothing against Frankie Valli/The Four Seasons, but you wouldn't even know this was the same song. How Slaughter heard that song and turned it into such a stomping rocker of a song is beyond me. Yeah, that's the cover of my 7" in the video. I've seen a lot of posts of some earlier Slaughter & The Dogs but was surprised that no one ever posted this one. They really made this song their own and I think it's one of their best, so I decided to post it myself.

Good to know someone else appreciates it Mr. Hodge.

Genius, thanks for uploading. I have a bootleg of a gig from Retford Porterhouse (or Slaughterhouse) that has a storming version of this. Phil was a great drummer.
