Climax Blues Band on German TV in 1977

"Couldn't Get It Right" was written after the band's label told them that their 1976 album Gold Plated lacked a standout track and asked them to "try and write a hit". They then wrote it, in the words of its bassist Derek Holt, "from absolutely nowhere", and it hit #10 on the UK Singles Chart. This is probably the most memorable track from the Climax Blues Band.

The song was subsequently covered by American band Fun Lovin' Criminals for their 1999 album Mimosa.
