Tremendous Mr. Puck. Very strange and mysterious arrangement. Ye should release some of this stuff (along with Another Pretty Face things). Cheers for that, Mike!

"I spoke into his eyes" that's gotta be one of the best lines in the history of music

I haven't heard Bowie's version, but this is as good as nirvanas version, and I'm a big Nirvana fan, great sax and punky vocals

Brilliant version...although they have covered Prince (purple rain), Hank Williams (many), Van Morrison (too much pleasure and not enough space), this is up there with the best of them. An earthy, early, and enspired choice (forgive the spelling). Thanks Mike.

Not normally a covers person, but this one's a cracker!

The Big Music starts here. Guitars and sax working together on an epic scale. Great to hear this. Steve F promised me a copy of this years ago....but you know Steve......!

This is the wonderful type of primal music that I used to trawl the record fairs for "bootleg tapes" of when, in the late 80s, I started to collect Waterboys rarities.
Never found this one... but absolutely great, and Mike's voice at its rawest best!
Thanks for sharing :-)

Great original given the unmistakable Scott treatment. Of course I love it - big fan!

thanks for the perspective Mike ....I can see how this fits right into your first Waterboys release....I love these post as it gives us a glimpse of your history and growth as an artist.
