The Sunshine Kid –My Linda


The Sunshine Kid –My Linda/Get Your Rocks Off Baby –RCA 2413 (1973 UK)

Post Apple single by Chris Hodge. My Linda has some real meaty power chords, a bit of funky Wah Wah and a strange Asiatic interlude, there’s a lot crammed in for sure. As for the subject of Chris’ desires…Perhaps this is why Chris was pushed or jumped ship from Apple???? The Beatle Oooohs are a nice touch in any case. Get Your Rocks Off Baby is a more straightforward boogie work out; again very strong in the guitar department.

I remember Chris. he was in my class at Quernmore Secondary School for boys 1965 in Bromley Kent. He was always the joker and good for a laugh.
Chris was also the drummer in the band that we formed while at school and, I think he was in another band I was in a bit later too.
