A Cover Version Of The Neil Young Song, This Is A Beautiful Interpretation Of This Song, I Think This Is The Best, Even Over The St Etienne Version ( Which Was Brilliant ). The Mint Juleps Were An All Girl Accapella Outfit From London, And This Mid 80`s Release Was On The Much Loved And Missed Label STIFF RECORDS....

My memories of this (achingly beautiful) tune: They were "in session" on R1 - I think it was Peel's show - doing their acapella set. A certain Mr J. Holland was in the building, overheard them & offered to play the joanna on the next track, impromtu. The next three & a bit minutes sums up what was once so great about the Beeb; such a perfect moment as Jools played behind their wonderful voices. I think they signed to Stiff on the back of this spontaneous collaboration. An all time personal fave.

I played bass on this and I still remember the session being really good fun as they were such a nice bunch of people. As I recall we also recorded a version of Lulu's "Shout!"

I remember them doing a live version on some TV show, was accapela and upbeat though, both versions are superb though!

Thanks esurfer26. This version has echoed around my mind since the mid 80's when I was listening to it driving around in a crappy company car. It took me to another place. Please pass my thanks and best wishes to the girls...

@95JokerK Nice to hear about the band members. Will they make another new LP to wake up everyone? With new songs and new materials? Justin Bieber is just another young commercial doll, just like those Mickey mouse members!

This is lovely; Just lovely. I have searched for so long for this version. Thank you so much for posting. R2 has a "better than the original" slot. I'll do my best. I hope all the girls are doing well.

I remember seeing them perform this on TV - maybe on The Tube or something like that - thought it was wonderful at the time and the decades since have made no difference to my first thoughts - this is a first rate soul sound - thanks to the artists and thanks for posting.

Amazing cover and the 12" vinyl sits proudly on my shelf 20 odd years later. I love Neile Young but this version even outclasses the original. Saw them at an Art Club thing in Exeter about that time and hollered up a request for it but as they were doing a purely accapella set it was "sorry" but they knew the record had owners !!
