I heard this as a piece of theme music on Radio 4 extra this week and thought the chords sounded great. Well what do you know, it's by a group called The Shadows.

I bought that single in ?1964- one of my favourite Shads tunes - remember working it out on my little Framus f-hole acoustic guitar (ccost 16gns). Didn't sound much like Hank of course. Keith

As with Cliff, there's a completely individual sound there.
I've long thought Bruce is underappreciated. For all that he underplays his own supposedly three chord talent in his autobiography the man is a veritable rhythm machine.
The book Rock and Roll I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life is well worth a look, by the way. Few gasp-worthy revelations, but it's very good on early British rock and on the trials and tragedies of being in a band, honest about Bruce's mental problems (felt a kinship regarding his obsession with tuning) and, given his long career as a successful producer, has a lot to say about how records used to be made. It's also turning up at decent prices now, instead of the 70 quid and more opportunist nonsense of a few years ago.
