Not the worst cover version by any means, but just inferior to the original and classic by Shocking Blue in 1969, IMO. Some trivia about this song Venus: both versions got to No.8 in the UK chart; and both got to No.1 in the US chart Vi

No not as good as the original Windy but a zillion times better than that Reynolds Girls tosh mate! Heard worse covers but not something to go out your way for! I agree with you about The Reynolds Girls and that awful record of theirs - it should be considered a hate crime.
The Reynolds Girls record is one of THEE worst songs ever made! I genuinely hate it!! Steed

An awful 80s cover of Never Can say Goodbye by, I think, The Communards. The original by Linda Lewis in the 70s was good.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the covers The Communards did were from the years where everyone was doing covers, 1986. Re-releases were a plenty too.

A cover version proves the old adage 'ain't broke don't fix it!'
If an artist can do something original, interesting and put their own stamp on a cover it can be a very good piece, if it's simply a trashy remix, cash-in or vehicle to push talentless (sic) artists... leave it alone!

I came across this cover version of the classic Bee Gees' 1978 hit whilst going through some of my old NOW CDs recently It is definitely in Room 101 for Vienna
