I like it but don’t love it. But I see most of us think there are far worse songs on the album.

I can't make any great claims for it. And it's a bit of a stretch to call it a cover, actually. But I love the sound they made in the early days.

Re: Rank The White Album
John Cale produced the debut huh?
I've never heard that. I didn't realise it was pulled from the debut and replaced with 24 hour party people

He did. I don't think he did much. He'd just kicked the booze and spent most of the sessions sitting in the booth eating bananas, if I remember correctly.

Yeah it's probably a little better than I gave it credit for. It's wonderful.

Yeah, I should probably have Julia a wee bit higher. It bores me rigid tho' - and the 'her hair of floating sky is shimmering/glimmering/iiiiin the suuuun' bit makes me want to hit something.
