...no taped recording exists.

The only release is by Alan Merrill on his 2020 album, It's Always Rock 'N' Roll, which was completed shortly before he passed away.

Spot on yourself! Alan Merrill should have and could have made it huge he had the songwriting musicianship amazing voice and handsome face. He should have been MASSIVE. but a whole chain of circumstances beyond his control robbed him

Alan Merrill was the absolute creative force in the Arrows. After their chart success was over they were joined for series 2 of their show by Terry Taylor who brought a new dimension and great creative input. but that material didnt get released for many years. Jake Hooker brought nothing

(2/2) to "Sachs and Mamberg" birth names that neither of them EVER used professionally so whoever decided to use their birth names made a definite step to muddle copyright. It is years too late to change this now but it made Alan very furious ......always.

This is no surprise to me. Alan Merrill who wrote I Love Rock n Roll was a very close personal friend and his experience was the same- deliberate confusion of copyright including not listing him at all on one repressing and also crediting the song to(instead of Merrill &Hooker (the passenger) (1/2)

Historically there have been times where people shared songwriting credits even though the song wasn't actually written by each person.

I Love Rock 'n' Roll, coincidentally, has a shared credit because writer Alan Merrill owed "co-writer" Jake Hooker some money.

Alan Merrill wrote the song. Hooker had no creative input. His co-writer credit was in lieu of paying off a loan

Alan Merrill wrote the song. Hooker's co writer credit was as payent of a debt. He had no creative input

Doesnt she realise how dumb she sounds (as well as heartless) ? She wants "FEWER" not "Less". Ignorant bitch
