RIP Chris Eborn. He certainly led us down a path that many of us have followed. We exchanged emails a few times many years ago. I shelve my books alphabetically by author. His book is filed under E for Eborn, not G for rip-off.

QuoteGreen Lady ) Take a look at the chart details on Wikipedia. The Chris Farlowe version of Out Of Time was No.1 in the UK and made the top 20 in several other countries, but never got above no.122 in the USA. The Stones version wasn't a single at all. Mick's right: most of them don't know it, so if it keeps falling flat I wouldn't be surprised to see it dropped.
