Happy New Year everyone!
There must be someone out in the wilds that knows the answer to this: I'm looking to buy a CD which contains 'Misery' by Kenny Lynch. I've looked high and low on Amazon and other sites for a best of or greatest hits. Does this song exist on a current release?
This cover is interesting as it was apparently the first cover version of a Beatles song, even the first song they 'gave away' (who recorded it first?). I've spotted it as an mp3 download, but I hope to buy it on CD, or at least as FLAC. Any pointers anyone?
Cheers

Re: A question about 'Misery' by Kenny Lynch
I like the story where John and Paul were in the back of the tour bus writing From Me To You and Kenny swaggered on back to lend them a hand. A while later he stormed back complaining "That's the last time I try to write anything with those idiots! They wouldn't know songwriting from their backsides!" Another version of the story has him objecting to their falsetto "Oooooo" saying "You can't do that, you'll sound like a bunch of queers!"

You can also find it on this three CD set: We Can Work It Out: Covers Of The Beatles 1962-1966 , a collection of weird and wonderful Beatles covers, ranging from great to.. huh?!
It comes in a nice little box with a good booklet also. Well worth having..

Yeah! Your right, I forgot about that. I don't think It was a UK 45 release tho? It was maybe on one of those cheapo complilation EPs or LPs along with other artists!

I notice at least a couple of these tracks were taken from (crackly) vinyl:Captain_Kidd wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 1:07 pmThis looks interesting.
