Quite a nice cover version of Fearless on my favourite blogspot,

I like 'em the way they were intended by their authors, I'm afraid, even if the original sequence was partly the way it was just to fit the constraints of the medium. Anyhow, what's wrong with Seamus, it's the calm before the storm that is the awesome Echoes.

bored the Word Massive with my version of Blood On the Tracks...

What makes you think that sticking a moustache on the Mona Lisa and chopping off the head somehow improves it?

I don't think that the version that Dylan released is as good as the acetate he released three months earlier. You know the story about John Wesley Harding where he took it to Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson for overdubs and they said to leave it alone? This is the flip side; his brother David managed to persuade him that the original was too raw, too naked, and could really do with some more instruments on half the songs. And I think that was wrong. To pursue the analogy, I think Dylan decapitated the Mona Lisa himself when he held the album's release off for three months and rerecorded half of the songs in Minnesota.

in the shop, unplayed. It sounds so much better that way!
