From a discussion elsewhere today, I got to listening to this....
And the original, from 1968.....
This album is still stored away somewhere in my collection of old vinyls.
As a student, I'd skip lectures, and sneak back to my shared flat to be able
to listen in peace to my choice of music. My flatmates all seemed to listen to treacle
like Carole King , and James Taylor... "You've Got a Friend". To be fair, there is better partying music than a song about mutant tadpoles growing in jars of urine, and the ignition
of farts as a heat source for making drugs.
'Course, I didn't know that then, I just loved the subversive tone, and that if
everyone else hated it...., "Why do you listen to that shite ?".., then it must be OK.
Have to say, them classical blokes have dun a right good version.
Quite wholesome really.
Worried.
