This Song was the first time i remember falling in Love with a female singer.I still think it knocks spots of Rod Stewarts later cover version..For some strange reason ,it reminds me of travelling up to Cumbria to watch Halifax play Workington in a Cup Match!

If Punch Comes To Shove,This is my favourite ever "Pop-Song".It reminds me of walking in the Lake District.Youth Hosteling with Phil Davidson (A.K.A. "PHIL THE FIREMAN") We met a group of London Lads .Very Hip Guys! We march together near Ambleside singing this song!

This Month sees the rerelease of 3 of my favourite albums.They all are "remixed""renhanced" & have previously unreleased tracks.I guess that means i have to "rebuy" them!The first two are Gram Parsons "GP" & "Grevious Angel". The Complete Reprise Recordings expand things from 2 to 3 discs.Loads of alternative-takes that Uncut reckons surpass the original releases.Should Be A Sound Investment. (boom-boom!)
Also on Rhino Records Uncut review,s an updated/remixed/bonus/edition of PARIS 1919 .Its not mentioned on the Rhino website yet (?) Maybe out later in the month?Now to my ears John Cale has been a bit patchy over th
e years.However,this album,with its odd,transparent lyrics,is one of my alltime standalone bits of music.Once I get them,let me know if you care me to burn?
