Slaughter on 10th avenue - Los Valentinos

Los Valentinos was a Danish group who made a name for themselves with instrumental numbers between 1974 and 2000. In the band's heyday from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, the group recorded 10 albums.

One of their first releases was this single, 'Slaughter on 10th avenue'. What makes this single interesting for me is the B-side: it's a version of the Marty Wilde composition 'Polaris', which he created for a group called The Boys - which was a pseudonym for the Wildcats. And the Wildcats, of course, were the band who supported Marty, much like the Shadows did for Cliff Richard. I haven't found a copy of The Boys' version yet, but at least I have this cover version now.
