“I Wanna Be Your Dog” (The Stooges cover) - Fantômes
Les Fantômes (The Phantoms) were this super-obscure supergroup of the early French punk scene, a true ghost band formed by French & British musicians from various bands that came together in the late-’70s for a couple of sessions for Mark Zermati’s legendary Skydog Records, one being this formidable cover of “I Wanna Be Your Dog”.
The line-up consisted of the well known virtuoso guitarist Henri-Paul Tortosa (who has played alongside with Johnny Thunders, Phil Lynott, The Only Ones, MInk de Ville, Iggy Pop, Stiv Bators, as well as French bands like Les Rita Mitsouko and his own band the Intouchables), Patrice Laberia (ex-Shakin Street) on guitar and vocals, as well as two members of Eddie & The Hot Rods, Paul Grey on bass and Steve Nicol on drums.
