The first record I ever bought (the cover that is), but the original is probably my favourite. Almost seems like an unusual choice for a cover when you hear the first version. Great video though.

James Ray - I've Got My Mind Set On You (1962/63 depending on where you were)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k68Fob0QA_k

George Harrison - I've Got My Mind Set On You (1987)

Where's this Alvin Stardust and Glitter Band fascination suddenly come from?! Wouldn't have had you down for either!

I don't think he's a naff as some (I'm specifically talking about his glam pop period), it was more a case that the name Alvin Stardust Or The Spiders from mars worked well. There are far worse glam acts I could have gone for. The idea, as they all were really, was cooked up in the pub after a few beers. The idea was to think of a band/artist who just about everyone likes, that we'd normally play on the show anyway, and that is famous enough for people to bother phoning in for. Bowie fitted the bill perfectly.

We did have a Bolan game early on too. The naff tracks wre songs that kept T Rex off the number one spot. I think they were mostly novelty records. Benny Hill was one, possibly Clive Dunn and The Osmonds were in there too. I love Wizzard actually, but we couldn't have made a game out of a band that most people will only know 3 songs by - one of which is a Christmas record.
