"I Want You Back Again" (Track by Track at Gibson)


[Obviously, the videos in this Track by Track series were all filmed the same day, but for easier indexing, I'm putting them under the dates they were posted.]

Rod:  This is, uh, Rod Argent here from the Zombies.

Colin:  It's Colin Blunstone from the Zombies, and this is Track by Track at Gibson, and we're on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

"I Want You Back Again"


Colin:  Well, 'I Want You Back Again', it's, um, an interesting song in that it's one of the songs that we sort of rediscovered in this incarnation of the band.  I think we'd probably forgotten about it to some degree, and then we heard a- Tom Petty did a live version of-

Rod:  And used to talk about it for about ten minutes on stage before he did it.

Colin:  And we listened to this live version by Tom Petty, and we thought, 'Sounds pretty good.'

Rod:  'Why aren't we doing this?'

Colin:  Yes.

Rod:  Yeah.

Colin:  So I, I often say on stage [that] we're doing a cover version of Tom Petty doing a cover version of us, and this is the song:  'I Want You Back Again.'
