Rock On by David Essex

“Am reliably informed by my girlfriend that this used to be played as an intro to early Verve shows. Easy to see why with that doubled bass riff and Ashcroft-anticipating vocal delivery.”

Every now & then I'll hear a track & think..."How the f*ck did they write that?" This one & 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy are two that immediately come to mind. Self penned by 70's teen idol & all round cheeky chappie David Essex, I've loved this homage to 50's Rock 'n Roll and recommend that you listen to it on headphones for the full effect.   7
