The Crying Game - Barry Gibson's Local Heroes feat. Jet Harris MBE & Brian 'Licorice' Locking

Barry Gibson's Local Heroes featuring Jet Harris MBE & Brian Licorice Locking covered The Dave Berry classic track 'The Crying Game' from the 60's. The Crying Game was later covered by Boy George in the early 90's and produced by Pet Shop Boys. Hank Marvin recorded the Boy George version for his Heartbeat album. The Local Hero's version has a different feel to it but has captured all versions and has added Harmonica by 'Licorice'. It's an excellent and haunting and classy number! And makes a nice tribute for Jet Harris MBE to of which the whole album is dedicated to him as a tribute. Enjoy!
