Helloween's cover of "Hocus Pocus". The guitar sounds a bit too thin & fuzzy for my ear.

Are you a Mott fan, then? I never knew whether to take them seriously or not. For me "Roll Away The Stone" is amusing as a fifties pastiche, it's a reminder that 1974 was so flucking awful that people became nostalgic for an era of bomb sites and food rationing.

I think they are an interesting mix, some stuff is good some stuff crap. But I'm currently in the depths of an oddities of the period mood hence the following

And while this is far from an oddity, that it appeared on my timeline elsewhere is serendipitous

The Jook influenced the outfits of the Bay City Rollers. The links were sorted due a piece of editing by Gordon. That I post from Android devices in the main seems to cause a problem for others.
