ALBUM: Distant Light . LABEL: UK Parlophone PAS 10005 . US: Epic KE 309581971 . YEAR: 1971I found this note on Songfacts "On the inside of a CD cover Hollies Drummer, Bobby Elliott wrote the following about the famous guitar riff opening of LCW: "Previously I heard Allan (Clarke) playing a short attractive guitar piece whilst he was relaxing or tuning up. I suggested that we started the song with the same piece." and so they did. FYI the Long Cool Woman that opens and closes the video is Charlotte Rampling.NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED, NOT FOR PROFIT.
