We've already had the definitive version of IHITTG. Plus, who can resist that Hammond on "Hush"?
Interestingly, I didn't know this was a cover.

I don't think there is too much doubt that Mr Blackmore will get through with this effort, unlike his previous one.
On a list of best Deep Purple songs Hush is a long way down. But you can hear them working out their sound - in particular Jon Lord's Hammond organ becoming so prominent. Up against a good version of I heard it through the Grapevine it wouldn't get close - but this is a dreadful version that totally murders a classic. Deep Purple gets my vote.

Not familiar with the Deep Purple but great to hear the Slits again. They get my vote.

Don't think it's even the first cover of it but as you say the Hammond makes it. The original isn't at all bad for a 60s pop song and we've dodged a bullet with Kula Shaker, so all good for me.
Don't mind The Slits, or to be more precise have always had a bit of time for Viv Albertine, but this is not one of their better efforts imo.

That Slits songs seems to be played every day on 6 Music. I'm not too keen on the vocal style, trying too hard to alter the inflection to make it more punk.
Good to hear some early Purple- NICE slice of Hammond.

I love the Kula Shaker version. For me they were the best British band of the 90s. Better singer than Blur, Oasis etc., and crucially a far better sound from the instruments.Don't think it's even the first cover of it but as you say the Hammond makes it.

They are already (and have been for a while) on the list of future albums to review.

Deep Purple, clearly. That other mob have butchered a classic.

Similar to a few other of my votes, nothing wrong with The Slits and I typically don’t cotton to the elephantine DP that much, but Hush a pretty easy call here for me.

The Mighty Deep Purple walk away with this one. Jon Lord is the master of the Hammond Organ and Blackmore's guitar fills are the work of a genius (even if they are not his best work).
The Slits version is simply awful and laughable in comparison to Marvin's - a very unfortunate choice.

It is, but not as good as their debut.

Somebody's Image headed up by a legendary Aussie artist Russell Morris ( still going strong ) did a cover of this song back in 1967.We've already had the definitive version of IHITTG. Plus, who can resist that Hammond on "Hush"?

Yeah, I did a quick Google to confirm this was a cover and was amazed by the number of versions there are.Somebody's Image headed up by a legendary Aussie artist Russell Morris ( still going strong ) did a cover of this song back in 1967.
