Inheritance –Kookie/Come on - EMI test pressing (1972 Australia)
After all the Bone Crunchin’ heaviness, let’s go back to the safety of a Global Bubblegum World… Here’s an obscure, Antipodean cover of Kookie originally record by Germany’s Sandwich (pre Bläck Fööss). I think the Aussie version just wins it, by having rougher edges and more hard driving Bubblegum grooves, although the sound is more ’68 than ’72. This appears to be a custom promo pressing prior to gaining a limited release on HMV. Anyhow know anything about Inheritance? –was it a real group or a studio creation? The B side is a pleasant enough pop ditty.

The members of Inheritance were:
Tony Currenti - drums
Norm Group - guitar
Con Kongios - vocals
Jim Squadrito - vocals
Rob Toth - organ
Mick Tsigolis - bass
Kookie was released as a single, but didn't chart.
P.S. Inheritance later changed their name to Grapevine and released a rockin' cover of The Who's 'Join Together' (with B-side 'That's Life'). It was released as Grapevine feat. Jackie Christian (a name suggested by Vanda & Young to Con Kougious to assume).
