[Dreamboat] "Heart sleaze" by an Ebay seller

[Philly Kid]

Wow.  The auction sez:
___________________________
 THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE WHICH WAS QUICKLY RECALLED due to Heart's
blatant rip-off of The Hollies' rhythm track from "Long Cool Woman",
which was recycled as their "Heartless" track. You can tell this is
the Real Deal because it has Magazine as the last track on Side One,
as opposed to the re-recorded version's reshuffled line-up with
Magazine on Side Two. I remember this coming out in '77 - it was
uncanny how unabashedly Heart copied that classic Hollies recording,
no wonder it got yanked; but by then it was infamous and destined to
become a monster hit whether or not Heart deserved it. You're not
gonna get the chance to hear this track ANYWHERE else, and once they
re-released it with the newer funky syncopated/hesitation rhythm this
song was never quite the same. Oh well, when you swipe covers for a
living you win some and you lose some...

That's a new one!  The Hollies' Long Cool Woman?  Wow.  Yes, there are
a few similarities.....but as we all know, that's not why the album
was recalled.  

Yes, all of the trax were included on the re-release, Loralie.  but
they were mostly all re-recorded or remixed.
