Hello !!

Is there someone who can help me? I’m looking for the original version of this song Per covers. It’s by John Holm and I would like to hear his version.

So, do you know where to get it? Does any of you have it?

Thank you,

Ernes.

I do, in MP3. Anyway, Per sings much better than him, you’ll get a not so nice susprise.

I found it in Kazaa some time ago - and I have to admit that it’s one of the few songs where I like the cover better!
I’m gonna upload it as soon as I can if that’s ok for you :-)

Wow, what a strange sound !! Well, John Holm’s voice is terrible !! but the music sounds funny. Defenitly I really much prefer Per’s version, but specially because what I most like in this song is the guitar solo, the whole instrumental part is simply GREAT !!

I agree with you guys, Holm’s voice is terrible. I also think that by using an electric guitar instead of an acoustic guitar, he gives away too much of that great guitar solo at the beginning of the song... in Per’s version, not only is the solo 1000x better, but you have to wait a bit for it, which makes it all the sweeter when it comes. And of course, Per can sing... (-;

PG’s version is awesome... and that guitar solo!! HELLO!

Only thing I hate is how it just ends abruplty... it really should have faded out.
