Picked up this bardo pond album for a couple bucks after hearing about the band for years. Had a pretty good beatles cover on it. I hate the beatles

Is that a cover of the “Are You Being Served” theme?

Yes mate

I used to love that when it was on the telly. Sounded so fresh in comparison to everything else.

Call me a sentimental old c u next Tuesday but this cover always touches a raw nerve. The original is of course one of the saddest songs ever committed to music but this hits the spot for me every single time

Some nice opening tracks up above, but let’s get serious for the peak!

Thanks to Don Letts and his Version Excursion Late Night Tales with a version by Gentleman’s Dub Club for reminding me of this great Bill Withers’ song. The Isaac Hayes cut is about the nastiest take of the several I’ve found and may be found on the first of the Living In The Streets compilations.

BTW, Version Excursion is chockfull of dynamite dub cover versions of some damn fine tunes. Highly recommended and, IMHO, by far the best and most engaging of the several Don Letts’ compilations around.
