Jeff Phillips-Yesterday's Hero

Double shot of Glam today to start off the new month.

This one is another cover of the Vanda/Young Glam-Pop Number Yesterday's Hero, by Jeff Phillips. The only info I could find about one Mr. Phillips looking thru some old Aussie Music papers is that I believe he was a TV presenter in the Late 60's/Early 70's down under. This one like John Paul Young's smash hit version came from Australia, so I'm guessing that is what relegated this nice stab at it to the clearance racks. Complete with Radio announcer interludes and crisp production, every fan of this song should check it out. I don't know how rare this one is exactly, but I've only ever seen one picture sleeve and I snatched it up from No Brains.

What do ya' guys think out there? Who's version is the best? The Rollers? John Paul Young? Good ol' Jeff here? Let me know!

Teddy Bear-Teddy Palmer & The Rumble Band

Here is another great thudding Glam Stomper. Teddy Palmer was a hit in Ireland and for some odd reason Toronto, Ontario as well (Only two hours away from me!). He even hopped the Atlantic to play a show at the Maple Leaf Ballroom in Toronto in 1972.

Also, all you Ravers out there, let me know how this sounds. I just picked up the Numark TTUSB Turntable and I think the sound has drastically improved over my first few rips.
I wanna know what ya' think.

As always, look to the left to see how ya' can download this full song.
