Original Hanging on telephone?

[Frau_Blucher]

Has anyone ever come across the 1976 recording of Hangin' on the Telephone done by The Nerves, fronted by Peter Case prior to the Plimsouls? This was before Blondie did it. I'd love to find/get a copy.

Cheers, Mike

Jack Lee actually wrote and sang that Nerves track. Case was a member as well as Paul Collins. What a band....

Jack Lee is one of my favorites - as were The Nerves. Jack's original version of Come Back & Stay (later covered by Paul Young) is astounding.
I'm pretty fond of the Plimsouls & Paul Collins too. I guess I prefer Jack because he never found a lot of
