GONE ON HOLIDAY - SO HERE'S A REPEAT POSTING (1)

FROM SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2006, NOT LONG AFTER I STARTED UP THE BLOG; THE POST WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED 'UNDER THE COVERS (2)

It's a glorious autumnal day in my home city.

It's mornings like this that make me think I don't really want to live anywhere else.

After the New Order-fest of the past week, I am now trying to resume something of a normal service. Time for an appropriate cover version from a few years ago.

mp3 : Sunday Morning - James

This can be found on the Lose Control single of 1990. I love how Tim Booth throws in loads of Velvet Underground song titles as the tune reaches a crescendo. Fabulous.

It's probably only on e-bay that you'll be able to purchase this song. It was also a track on Heaven & Hell, a now difficult to find tribute album to The Velvet Underground.

I also want to dedicate a second song this morning to W A Fading. His was a truly astounding blog which was very nearly no more. But he has decided to begin all over again. I, for one, am truly thankful.

mp3 : Take Care Of Yourself - Edwyn Collins

Taken from Hellbent On Compromise that was released in 1990. A record that is long-deleted, you can still find it, sometimes brand-new, in cyberspace right here.
