"Goin' Down to Liverpool", the 2nd single off the Bangles' Columbia debut, "All Over The Place", was originally recorded by Katrina & The Waves a year earlier (and written by guitarist Kimberley Rew) before the Waves had their breakthrough.
Vicki Peterson sings lead here, as the ladies are in the backseat of a limo driven by Leonard Nimoy (ex-Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, In Seatch Of.....). Not quite the same as Tracey Ullman and Paul McCartney ("They Don't Know"), but, hey........
Turns out the Nimoys were friends with Susanna Hoffs and her family. Susanna would remove the curls from her hair in time for the band's next album, "Different Light".
