Another cover from Nazareth's first album . A friend of mine introduced me to them before their first single success (Broken Down Angel I think), I much preferred their early stuff.

hoopy frood wrote:More classic rock and also from a 1975 album according to wikipedia. I thought this was done in 1972 but I'll defer to wikipedia's occasional accuracy.


Pretty sure wiki is right on this one - I was a sixth former at the time.

NilsGLindgren wrote:OK, hoopy, so, obviously not late 60s. Nor, in fact, early 70s. I may mix it up with a track from mad guy Napoleon XIV -something about a little tricycle or whatever.
...
Hey, I knew I was on to something: Nazareth didn't write that title, it was a cover from a 60s psychadelic band
Wikipedia wrote:As Tomorrow:
"My White Bicycle" / "Claramount Lake" (single, Parlophone R5597, May 1967)

So, late 60s ... thought the recording sounded different ...
EDIT: And, as for Napoleon XIV; 1966 "I'm In Love With My Little Red Tricycle" :mrgreen:




Actually, I shoulda realised that cos I'd seen the Tomorrow version on youtube. :shifty:




As for your EDIT and what is tantamount to being a public admission of enjoying Napoeon XIV, I'll spare your blushes and make no comment whatsoever. :lol:

Your mock outrage and overly-loud protests of innocence merely serve to damn you further. :hand:

I might as well be first to mention the compulsory stooges tracks included in any best of rock collection.

Let's get back to rock songs, and whatever your opinion of Napoleon XIV, he was not a rock singer.

Ahh! Monster Magnet! I saw them live when I was a student in Newcastle. It was the evening before an exam and all I could hear for 3 silent hours the next day was ringing in my ears!

I'm looking for something in an attack dog. One who likes the sweet gamey tang of human flesh. Hmmm, why here's the fellow ... Wiry, fast, firm, proud buttocks. Reminds me of me - Charles Montgomery Burns.
