Version City #27 - Simba sing Richard Berry, The Kingsmen & many others...
We've probably all been privy to more
versions of 'Louie Louie' than is strictly
necessary in one lifetime, the best of them
transcendent and the worst unlistenable.
Here's a new one on me though. Simba were an
unlikely amalgam of South African band
Assagai and UK progsters Jade Warrior, who
came together in 1971 to issue this, their
one and only single. I discovered it on the
appropriately titled 1973 compilation LP, 'Afro Rock Festival'.

As they are prone to say around here, stonking! I bet there's an album around with multiple covers of 'Louie Louie'. This is one of the best I've heard. Jade Warrior? Think I have one of their albums somewhere!
I'm sure that there are several volumes of 'Louie Louie' covers out there! I hope this one made the cut on one of 'em.
