One of my favourite covers, Wally, there are two versions of the original, on Slapp Happy's debut album and on Casablanca Moon which they recorded with (most of) Faust...

Steve, I think it was you that introduced me to Slapp Happy's music even though I had heard the name before, I hadn't heard their music. I still have lots to learn and hear

6:50 PM, May 8th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
We all have lots to learn and hear, Wally.

Quite enjoying this Bill Nelson track, it reminded me a but of Kevin Harrison

7:30 PM, May 8th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, I see (hear) that.. haven't hear much Kevin Harrison other than from the Cherry Red comp Perspectives & Distortion (or was it Pillows & Prayers?)

I think Glass Records just released a CD of his early stuff and I ordered a copy which I guess is why he was on my mind
