It's too long and Bovvie lets his vocals go way way WAY over the top on this.

But I love it.

This is GR8.

I once bought the huge box set for this album. load of tat and 2 almost indistinguishable mix and a live album.

I think it's what put me off buying huge box sets.

The instrumental finale is like sun-drenched, 28 carat golden melancholy.

The acoustic guitar and bass are just... just...

Glorious.

It is over.

Apart from the last track, it was a load of silly daftness.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

There's no poll. blah blah

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Aug 02, 2023 7:59 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Wed Aug 02, 2023 7:59 pm

Over.

Mixed bagging.

Not the original

by Nightjar Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:02 pm

I think the original recorded version is by Johnny Mathis.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:02 pm

When you hear that version you really understand that Bovvie was trying to emulate the J. Mathis version rather than the more famous Nina Simone version.

I refute this assessment.

Track one is an appalling, yet fascinating (like in a biopsy sort-of-way) crossing of the beams.

It's a tragically ironic rendition that lays bare both Bovvie's fawning fandom of Lennon and Lennon's 'lost three years' NYC nadir.

It's a perfectly, bitterly ironic overexertion that's encapsulated in the booze-and-coke-driven-spittle-all-over-the-mics vocals and gurning, eye-bulging awfulness of the whole affair.

Look up the back-story.

Also the one about when Paul and Linda spent an evening with Bovvie and ~~Nena~~ Ava Cherry and he forced them to listen to YA over and over again.

I

this.
