Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: Michael Ball to Tony Christie
Thank goodness for artists who have been around long enough to bring us back towards slightly more recent material every now and then. In 2008 Tony Christie recorded the album Made in Sheffield. Richard Hawley produced it, and it featured only songs written by Sheffield songwriters, and new songs by Tony himself. And that, friends, is how Tony came to cover the Arctic Monkeys track Only Ones Who Know.
The original is from the Arctic Monkeys' second album, 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare. Here it is, proving that Tony kept a pretty Straight Bat for his cover.
Next time: young women permitted...
