Zabadak Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ah, now you're talking!!! :sing1: The Six Teens, by Sweet (not The Sweet anymore!), reached UK #9, their lowest placing for some time as it heralded a new, mature approach, ditching the glam image with which they had become synonymous. The song, as with every one of their previous hits, was written by Nickky Chinn and Mike Chapman but the band would soon ditch them, too, and only release singles they wrote themselves. The B-side, Burn On The Flame, was a rockier song (as usual for the band!) and is a current live favourite. This was released during an oil and fuel crisis in Europe so PVC for records was in short supply in the UK. Orders for the single were in part fulfilled by pressings from the USA, on the RCA Victor label, which was not the one in which US discs were released in that country (it was Capitol).

MindCrime Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 You Oughta Know doesn't really need a songfact inserted, the original version is already in. This is just a live acoustic version of the original, which is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I suppose for "You Oughta Know", a blurb could be made to the original version, that an alternate acoustic live version was released on her Unplugged album and performed live at the 1996 Grammys.

edna Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 " She Belongs To Me" Bob Dylan Written by Bob Dylan. A track of his 1965 LP, "Bringing It All Back Home". It was recorded on January 14th, produced by Tom Wilson, with John Hammond Jr. and Bruce Langhorne on electric guitar. William E. Lee played bass. This is one of the songs appearing on the electric side of the album. It is said to be about Joan Baez or Nico. The meaning of the song is obscure. The "·Egysptian ring" is actually a ring he gave to Joan Baez, who's an artist. It's a song about a woman who is free though "she belongs to me".

Ann & Nancy are big fans of Led Zeppelin and "Black Dog" was a staple as an encore for decades. Heart's 2013 tour has a larger variety of Zeppelin songs including "Battle Of Evermore".
