BIG IN FINLAND

The Renegades' cover of Bill Haley and the Comets' "Thirteen Women" stopped me dead in my tracks yesterday. It smokes. Already kind of a nutty song (if you've heard Haley's original, you know what I mean), the Renegades' version is a different monster altogether. Fuzz, farfisa, menacing tempo, a few requisite screams and a great guitar solo that just kind of peters out, in a fuck it sorta way. Seriously, I gotta get this record. (Norton has conveniently reissued it on a 45.) Couldn't find any mps, so these YouTube things will have to suffice. But, trust me, they'll wet your whistle.
