Oh how they come and go... His voice trembles with a lonely ring. Haunting and all-encompassing.

For me this is the best version. Better than the album track and the garden shed tape. Strong and floating... dreamlike... amazing. Just part of the holy grail that is the long lost John Peel session. Nice sound and obviously cleaned up for release. John Peel has not completely been filtered out and can just be heard. At least someone recorded these gems while the BBC wiped the master. Thanks for posting. Although no cd has been released yet these songs are available digitally.

The man was simply amazing. How he managed to make these difficult and unusual chord changes and sing at the same time is quite humbling.

Gosh. Such a good song. Stands very well on its own, with just the guitar and voice
