        copy of Small Faces' version of Tim Hardin&quot;s <i>Red Balloon</i>

        with Mac..)</p>

        <p>Rick Nelson covered the song in the late 1960s.</p>

      <p>Jim Hynes: A great Canadian (from Montreal) pop-punk band&nbsp; called

      The Nils did a Small Faces inspired (but a little faster and a lot

      heavier) version of Tim Hardin's <i>Red Balloon</i>. It was recorded in a

      session for a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC Radio) show called

      Brave New Waves in 1988 I believe. It was released on a sort of posthumous

      &quot;Best of ...&quot; CD called <i>Green Fields of Daylight</i> in 1998

      or so by a Montreal label called Mag Wheel Records. The band went around

      playing this tune for years, including a 1988 U.S. tour opening for

      England's The Godfathers. I should now, 'cause as a pal and roadie, I was

      there.</p>

        <p>This song (not written by the band), from the first Decca album, was

        done in a style very close to the original, by The Twilights on their

        debut album in 1966. The Twilights were second only to the Easybeats in

        popularity in Australia at this time. The band's line-up featured Terry

        Britten (future Grammy-winning composer of hits for Tina Turner, Michael

        Jackson and Lenny Kravitz, among others) and Glenn Shorrock (future

        vocalist for Little River Band). The Twilights performed quite a few

        other Small Faces' songs in their live act, such as <i>Lazy Sunday</i>

        and <i>Tin Soldier</i>. They also did some Traffic &amp; Cream numbers

        alongside their own very strong, Ango-inspired originals.</p>

        <p>Wild Billy Childish's first band The Pop Rivets covered it in 1979

        live. It can be found on his latest release: <i>Billy Childish - 25

        Years of Being Childish</i> - Damaged Goods CD/LP (www.damagedgoods.co.uk).

        He also just released his 100th album with his latest group The Buff

        Medways. More info on him can be found at www.thebillychildish.com<br>

        <br>

        South Florida's sinister rock band band THE EVIL did an amazing version

        of the song in 1967. Originally came out on the Living Legend label in

        April of 1967 and then released on Capitol in October of 1967. The

        Capitol version took out the best part of the song - THE FEEDBACK!!

        Their version is even considered by some, BETTER than THE SMALL FACES

        version!!<br>

        <br>

        The most recent version and maybe one of the most brutal ones (well I

        think The POP RIVETS version is pretty rough and tough!) is by DAN

        MELCHIOR'S BROKE REVUE. This version can be found on the vinyl only EP

        titled &quot;Andover, Duluth, London&quot;, released on Version City

        Records. They actually have a slight connection to Billy Childish. Dan

        Melchior has released a solo single on Billy's &quot;Hangmen

        Records&quot; label. They did a blues record together called Devil In

        The Flesh on Sympathy For The Record Industry. They have both recorded

        with several of the same people.<br>

        Info on him can also be found on www.thebillychildish.com.</p>
