RUPERT'S PEOPLE - HOLD ON

While Sharon Tandy's version is definitive, this (male) take is pretty damn swell, as well.

Turns out that Rupert's People had a very strong connection to the Sharon Tandy record, as they were the same backing group, and they were one and the same as the legendary UK freakbeat group The Fleur De Lys. For very strange reasons, Fleur De Lys recorded a few sides as Rupert's People (one can read the whole saga here).

Here, the band lowers the key a bit, changes the middle eight of the song, and increases the HEAVY aspect, but keep it groovin' and groovy amid the sludge.

from 1967...
