That final track, ‘Na Na Na,’ holds very special memories for Bernie, as he performed on the track as a fresh-faced 23-year-old in 1974 alongside Cozy Powell, Frank Aiello, Clive Chaman and future Deep Purple star Don Airey.

“‘Na Na Na’ was a pivotal moment in my career,” reflects Marsden. “It was the first time I had recorded with Mickie Most: he was Cozy Powell’s producer. We were thrust upon the pop circuit — especially Top of the Pops — where the single made Top Ten in 1974.

“This new version of ‘Na Na Na’ was instigated by my late friend, drummer 'Jimmy’ Copley. He had actually seen us on Top of the Pops, was a big Cozy fan and during the 'Trios' recording sessions wanted to play a Cozy drum lick or two!

“Original Whitesnake member Neil Murray plays bass guitar on the new version, and I used the very same guitar that I had used on the original 1974 single.”

In keeping with these nostalgic vibes, the ‘Na Na Na’ video features young musicians who recreate Cozy Powell’s Hammer’s appearance on Top of the Pops in 1974.

Introduced by Bernie Marsden himself, the ‘Na Na Na’ video was filmed at Fairycroft House in Saffron Walden.

Presented by Louie the Man, the young band’s line-up (miming along to the track in true Top of the Pops style) is Attie Buckle on drums; Flynn Clements on bass; Finn Thompson on guitar and Mark Squires on vocals.
