Back to back versions of the 1979 hit 'Hot Summer Nights'. First up, the Top 3 Australian hit by American based band Night; their only such hit downunder. In the U.S a follow up 'If you remember me' bettered the debut by one spot reaching #17. Walter Egan, formerly of Fleetwood Mac, scored a major hit with 'Magnet & Steel' in 1978. Also issued as a single, his own composition 'Hot summer nights' did not register on the charts, but Egan continued to release albums into the next decade. As much as I like Walter Egan;s 'Magnet & Steel', Night's version of 'Hot Summer Nights' with the majestic Stevie Vann's vocals and Richard Perry's production is superior to Egan's in my view. Love the guitar though on Walter's version!
