Cover vs. Original

Needles And Pins


The original is a classic song, but in this case the cover is for me definitively the better version, because Smokie singer Chris Norman is just unbeatable. His voice gives the song something special!

Maybe between Ramones and Searchers could be more difficult, but Smokie version is defintly the worst version ever heard.
RAMONES version is the best, because in 1964 the sound recorded was very very very bad.

The original was recorderd by Jackie De Shannon in 1963, but her version didn't become really popular.
