Before The Ramones, Gary Glitter, The Stray Cats, and The New York Dolls, there was Flamin' Groovies. I can hear elements of all those artists in this cover of Freddy Cannon's 1959 hit. Maybe in a different world the Groovies would be considered the Godfathers of something, of exactly what I am not sure. They certainly qualify as proto-punk and proto-power pop. As Eno once said of The Velvet Underground, I think these guys also led to the creation of a lot of bands.
А,я подумал о любви.Ведь нам с экранов и со сцены орут,стонут и визжат о любви.Но,ведь любовь любит тишину;под звёздами,рука в руке,ночные птицы поют;не вороны!!!А то что мы слышим да и слушали,это не про любовь.А про что?Любовь это тайна,и всё тайны нет,есть технология процесса.А мы о рождаемости...Какие мысли?А?Отзовитесь....
Actually this track was not produced by Edmunds, though recorded around the same time as those other Edmunds produced tracks like "Slow Death" and "Shake Some Action" (and recorded at Rockfield I believe while Edmunds was gone for some reason). The original record said "produced by 'Flowerboy Venus'" which I think was a moniker for Cyril Jordan. Anyway, it's a killer!
It's funny how my punk "friends" deny or reject cool things like this. Few bands have had so much diversity in repertoire and versions. I wonder how they listen to Johnny Thunders if they don't understand the spirit.
Only Vers. that comes close to the original. Proto Punk? Late period Garage ? Looking for Edmunds and Ian Durys version offa Hope n Anchor benefit record,...
Anyone know what this animation is taken from ? This is part of a longer film, which I saw a bit of in a shop window display once. My daughter really wants to see the full film.
Ironic I now live in Florida after years In Manchester & san Francisco Danny Mihm love you still if Cyril still lets you play I Beam & DV 8 gigs on Friday nights were so good us drunk English mob could do louie Louie if Cyril was in a good mood30 years ago!!!!!
Anyone know what this animation is from ? I walked past a store a few months back, and the full animation was playing in the front window. I believe this is only a short part of it.
Rock music doesn't get much better than this. Had a Groovies vinyl bootleg back in the early 80s called flower boy venus with this track.

These guys really hit on a lot of sounds ahead of their time.
Best version of this
ua-cam.com/video/6ArjFLCY-Do/v-deo.html This is ok too...
Groove that keeps burning
Badass cover of the Freddie Cannon classic... the best ever put on wax imho.
Never get tired this song ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yep it's a bijou !!
The Dictators with Scott 'Top Ten' Kempner briefly did this version in1976!
It doesn't get a whole lot more fun than this. Thanks, guys!
Roy Loney perhaps, what matters is that's a great rock and roll number, one more!!!
This version reminds me of THE MOVE~!
Right??? Roy Wood would do it this way for sure! Solid insight. Thank you.
Probably recording techniques and effects of the day but yes...think UK glam rock...dare I say it Gary Glitter 😲
Superbe combination
super cool yet flaming!!
she really likes to rock!
This is my favorite version of this song
Love this video and I love the Groovies
Pure straight swing twist and punk shouter
fantastic!!
This band should have been way bigger
Love It ★♡♥☆
hot damn these good ol' boys kick some ass
Bass drum and clapping were Dick Clark's ideas.
And you should listen the Hurriganes version of the song.
Nice job. Thanks.
awesome
Holy crap!!
Cool.
good taste
Dave Edmunds produced this record.

@popeye152
Couldn't have said it better myself.
LIKE!!!!
Hmmm...Roy A Loney or Chris Wilson on lead vocal? Actually sounds kinda like Robin Zander of Cheap Trick to me, IMHO.
chris wilson and Cyril Jordan.
Zander is known as the man of 1000 voices, he can change it to sound like many singers.
mfc1212us Maybe but he wasn't in the Groovies Line up.
Sounds like ELO. Jeff Lyne on vocals.
This sounds like it would fit into a Tarantino flick
Ironic I now live in Florida after years In Manchester & san Francisco Danny Mihm love you still if Cyril still lets you play I Beam & DV 8 gigs on Friday nights were so good us drunk English mob could do louie Louie if Cyril was in a good mood30 years ago!!!!!
RIP JON the POSTMAN
Is this where Jeff Lyne got his style for ELO??? Me thinks so.....

Anybody know who produced / engineered this? The sound mix kicks butt.
The Master - Dave Edmunds at Rockfield Studios, Wales. It's "B" side to 'Slow Death'.

produced by Dave Edmunds
nope, by Loney aka Flowerboy Venus
Glitter band
I don't think they were glitter in any of their incarnations.
Holee spit!
lololol the video
"She comes from Tallahassee
So she looks a little trashy..."
Great single, and the cartoon fits up with Cyril's aesthetic, but this really needs a better print and some AI. 👎 for effort, and 👍 for music.
