Bobby Fuller 4 on Hollywood a Go Go

Covered by the Clash and written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets this is the original version of I Fought the Law by Bobby Fuller.
According to music legend Barry "the walrus of love" White plays drums and produces on the Bobby Fuller track The Magic Touch. Tragically Bobby Fuller was found dead in suspicious circumstances, cut and covered in petrol on the seat of his car near to his Los Angeles home, at the age of just 23. Linking this to my love of beach movies the band appears in the film "The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini" with Nancy Sinatra, Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone and Harvey Lembeck (as Eric Von Zipper).
