This is completely amazing and now I want ChinniChap style covers of ALL the early electronic and post-punk songs.
Happy 75th birthday to Suzi Quatro. Here’s your annual reminder about her unexpected version of The Normal’s Warm Leatherette

Yeah! Sorry Chinnichap Productions, it wasn't the band that were past it, it was you guys!! They went away and licked their wounds and Mike Chapman in particular came back fighting during the New Wave/Punk era producing Parallel Lines AND Get The Knack. I'm guessing he's not short of a quid or two.

Chinnichap created a string of hit singles for artists including The Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Smokie, Mud and Racey. Mike Chapman later produced breakthrough albums for Blondie and the Knack. He received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2014 Australia Day Honours.
