CRACKERS - Judy, Judy, Judy



















CRACKERS - Judy, Judy, Judy / instrumental version (Negram 1976)
Produced and co-written by John Edward (who also produced and penned Heatwave's nice "Sister Simon" single) for Istant Sound Productions, "Judy, Judy, Judy" is an amazing glam rock dancer/stomper tune with great guitar, catchy chorus and, of course...handclaps! Dutch issue.
