LONDON, UK (V2/ Virgin Records) - Did you know that Happy Monday's nineties classic 'Step On' was actually originally performed by one John Kongos! Or that Elvis Costello's 'Good Year For The Roses' was originally a hit for country legend George Jones? And I bet that few of us realised that Toploader's 'Dancing In The Moonlight' was originally a hit for King Harvest? 'INSPIRED:THE WORLD'S GREATEST COVERS' has all of these cover versions and more - like Paul Weller's recent version of Sister Sledge's 'Thinking Of You', The Stereophonics with Rod Stewart's 'Handbags And Gladrags', Al Green covering The Doors 'Light My Fire', plus Kirsty MacColl's equally well-known version of Billy Bragg's 'A New England' and The Monkees version of Neil Diamond's 'I'm A Believer'... 'INSPIRED:THE WORLD'S GREATEST COVERS' is a fantastic double album of unforgettable songs from a huge range of classic and current artists, and a unique and essential album for any music lover!!
