While that uniquely Liverpudlian amalgam out of Hamburg featured a vocalist, the version from the band out of Palmerston North was a Shadows-styled instrumental, and a pretty good one at that. ‘My Bonnie’ was on the flipside of The Pictones’ debut single on the TALA label, the countrified and twanging ‘Pistol Packin’ Mama’ (which was also an instrumental, and opens with the sound of horse’s hooves, pistol shots and a whinny).
