Side One Track 14 2.58. Genuinely frightening. The most obvious updating in this series of not only the drumbeat of Be My Baby but also the whole dramatic shtick and glamour of that record and the early Sixties, before and as The Beatles and Stones arrived . This soundtracks the fear of heading back late at night to the suburbs in darkness (well at least the video suggests it is). This steals, not only from Spector and The Ronettes but also from The Shangri-Las, (that group's biggest real rivals before the Motown Girl Groups really began to emerge), who were always a slightly more scary and Street proposition, as good as The Ronettes were.
