THE MIRAGE
"Hold On" c/w "Tomorrow Never Knows"
Solution Records FIX002
The stage should have been set for The Mirage, who through their association with Dick James Publishing and Larry Page got to hear The Beatles "Revolver" album before it was released, prompting this release... a cover of the album-ender which stands up with any other Beatles cover - not an easy track to take on, but The Mirage pulled it off. Released four months after "Revolver" came out, this is the first licensed re-release of the track.
The double A-sider "Hold On" owes a heavy debt to "Revolver" too - "Taxman" comes to mind before the band add their own subtle variants - a club classic, it shows all the power of say, The Creation - another winner
