Jealous guy - Susan Shirley

This copy of 'Jealous guy' by Susan Shirley is far from perfect: the sleeve is tattered and torn, but at least the disc itself plays reasonably well. I was curious enough about this John Lennon cover to want to buy this single - it helped that it was so cheap, of course. 

Susan Shirley released ten singles between 1968 and 1972, and this cover of 'Jealous guy' was not her most famous release. That would be 'True love and apple pie', a song she recorded in 1971 and which became known as 'I'd like to teach the world to sing (in perfect harmony)'. As for 'Jealous guy': the version by Roxy Music remains the best cover version.

My collection: 7" single no. 7266
Found: Record fair, Den Haag, 6 July 2024
Tracks: 'Jealous guy' / 'Oh Yoko!'
