Wow! My best friend at school had this 45 single. It takes me back. I never realised this was a cover version. I remember The Undertones had loads of songs with 'girls' in the title.The A side's great too
Didn't know that was a cover either. The only cover I knew that they did was Gary Glitter's Rock'n'Roll in their live act, but I don't know if that made it to vinyl--nice choice!
@music_xplosion amazing finds! I just assumed it (R'n'R) wasn't out there 'cause I don't remember it making it to vinyl. That was their encore song when I saw them many years ago. And "Romeo and Juliet" has to be their rarest cover of all. Your extra work is much appreciated. Thanks
@UncannyUK Funny . . . it was the contrary for me, I knew the original before so it was a nice surprise to hear it as a bonus track on the CD album. Anyway, glad you liked it :)

@markhdz Thank you :) Glad you liked it. Ha, I had never heard their Gary Glitter cover. Thanks for mentioning it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEEkgZEbQLo It's on a Peel sessions album along with another great cover : 'Romeo and Juliet' (a track which is on the Nuggets compilation) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7N-09XL5rw Enjoy!

This is such perfect Undertones material that it took me several years to click that it was a cover, too.
