(I wonder who made the first recording of that work, making the rest of the orchestras around the world followers, plagiarists and coverbands.)

It gets even more interesting when you consider that the only recording of "I Surrender" involving Mr. Ballard himself is done by another band, German power metallers At Vance, with Ballard as a guest...

Say Ballard actually would record I Surrender, would that then be a cover version, making the writer a follower?

My boy never recorded the track. He did perform it live though, but thats different. He kept his publicity rights but put it on the market so Rainbow still claims it as their original recording, but not their composition. He recorded 'Since You've Been Gone' though, but no need to check it out due to it's inferiority.lol! Nope!
