Episode description
This week we go gaga over The Pretty Things' 1964 number, "Rosalyn." You know it, you love it. Textbook early garage that takes its cues from Saint Bo Diddley. The second version is by Steve and the Board, a group of Australian teen treblemakers who change the lyrics for some reason. The third is by scary Cheshire cats Stack Waddy. Thick, fuzzy, thudding claustrophobic 70s sledgehammer proto-punk! Robin from Ghosts' fave version. The fourth is by a little known singer named David Bowie, who did a glammy version one year after Stack Waddy. You know the voice, but does it work for this tune? Sure as sin!
