From Jack Lee's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (Maiden America). As witnessed on Youtube, Lee performed it with his band The Nerves as early as June 1977. Lee also wrote Hanging On The Telephone, famously covered by Blondie.

Come Back And Stay became a big European smash for Paul Young in 1983.

Thanks Joop Jansen (audio) and Dick Rosemont (artwork).

Yep! The Pagans opened, you guys had the suits, and you kicked massive amounts of ass. True rock and roll!

His version sucks. I like Paul Young's better.

First time hearing this version, I love Paul Young's one too but have taken an instant shine to this original. They first iterations of songs always sound truer to me even if they're usually rawer too. The chorus is such an amazing hook, this guy is one hell of a songwriter.

Paul Young's version is the best with his extended remix

First time hearing this version, though I've heard the other many times. Both are great, though this isn't the one I prefer. It's probably not too good to compare the two though since both are performed at different paces with completely different styles. They both work well on their own though. <3.

I didn't know that Paul's COME BACK AND STAY was a cover version... I love Paul's of course, but I like this ROCK version. Cool! :)

interesting and different from Paul Young for sure it does not make me feel as much as P.Y. version, but who knows maybe if I had heard it first.

Whoa! This rocks my socks. As I'm an indie rock enthusiast, I actually prefer this original version to Paul Young's cheesy one with 23487 layers of synth(pad)s underneath and his whiny lamenting.
