Sifting about Spitalfields Market on a Christmas prezzie trawl last month - frown faced and locked into my must-get, gift-list - I was determined to polish off those pesky seasonal doings without any distractions. A case of 'in, out and put the kettle on' as Monkfish used to say. But the resolve and best intentions turned to soft toffee when a train-stopping cover version came into play from one of the market's record stalls. A Stones refit so frisky and high-kicking, that it reeled me in with a deep-seated hypnotic pulling power.

Sod the shopping - I HAD to have that track.

What was it? Una Valli vamping, booming and lung-busting her way through Satisfaction. One month later, it's still on a perma-loop with no loss of first play potency.
