That wasn't a Pretenders cover. It was UB40 featuring Chrissie Hynde

Alot of people get confused over it because it appears on the 1987 "Singles" collection by The Pretenders. It is from UB40's 1985 LP "Bagariddim" which in North America was released as an EP titled "Little Bagariddim"

Actually, on my version of 1987's "Singles" collection it appears solely as a UB40 song.

Always Something There to Remind Me by Naked Eyes. I don't know the original, but my mom swore it was a remake.
I also liked Cecelia when Times Two did it. (and now I HAVE heard that original! ;) )
I'm sure there are others, but those are the first two that sprang to mind when I read this post. :)

I really happen to like the original of that, actually, by Gloria Jones. It's a classic Northern Soul "beater", but it's pretty obscure. Gloria Jones was actually married to Marc Bolan of T. Rex (real name Mark Feld.)

Echo & The Bunnymen also covered it in the 80's, and their version contains a long instrumental break whose arrangement is completely different from that of the original (by the Doors).

The Loco-motion by Kylie Minogue (originally sang by Little Eva) and I Think We're Alone Now by Tiffany (originally done by Tommy James and The Shondells) are a couple of mine. But I love the original versions too.

That's not an 80s group though. It's a 2000s group doing a cover of an 80s song

He was in prog rock bands Uriell, Egg, Hatfield and the North, and others. Stewart and Gaskin stuff is always fun. I first heard them on a Rykodisc sampler with the song Henry and James.
