We all know the Rolf Harris international hit version.

I dug out the Beatles/Elvis split single which was the follow-up.

Is the CD worth tracking down?

Help me Australia!

Good plan.

I did check ebay, but the copy on there is a bit pricey.

Is it on Spotify, anyone?

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:14 (fifteen years ago)

I'm sure one of us lot has it (I dont, unfortunately).

Sookie G Stackedgarten (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:16 (fifteen years ago)

Ha! This Leonard Teale version is so great.

Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:17 (fifteen years ago)

He died not long after that was done, iirc? Or do i not rc.

Sookie G Stackedgarten (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:19 (fifteen years ago)

Also digging The Whippersnappers' version as a pure pop song. It works.

Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:20 (fifteen years ago)

It was everywhere for ages but I never got it for some reason. If I do find one I can post it to you.

gay Air New Zealand flight attendant Will Coxhead (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:22 (fifteen years ago)

Looking around, apparently there was a video release of this as well.

(Don't worry about finding/posting it, I'm sure it's on a blog someplace)

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:23 (fifteen years ago)

Definitely a video release. These shows were great btw.

gay Air New Zealand flight attendant Will Coxhead (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:24 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah I recallafew ppl who had the video. Or perhaps taped it off the actual MotG show.

Sookie G Stackedgarten (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 11:25 (fifteen years ago)

Two compilations of the performances were released in 1992; a video which featured 25 of the 26 performances (not included: Rory O'Donoghue), and album, called "Stairways to Heaven", which featured 22 of 26 the performances (not included: Friends Of The Castanet Club, Bob Downe, The Jeff Duff Orchestra and Rory O'Donoghue).
