I like that one!
Just listened to it again. Such sad lyrics but played in a cheerful way. I think when it came out, I enjoyed the up-beat tempo and never noticed before.

Probably in Australia.
I actually prefer the Aquostic version, I think, which is a rare case for me. I don't really like Pete's flabby drum sound or the Emulator on the original recording. I mean it's not bad but it sounds like going through the motions, which I guess they were...

Well, I think it's one of the better songs on BTB... but that ain't saying much.
It's also telling for their confidence as a band - did they ever open an LP with a cover song?!

I think it's a repetitive song. Just goes on and on, never changing.

Pretty average I think. For me definitely the weak track on Side 1 of Back to Back, I think the following four tracks are all brilliant.

Always liked it. Not a cover that I love.
If it came on I would listen to it, but don't find the need to listen often.
This is the Elvis version, shame Andy's piano wasn't higher in the mix.

They could have recorded this one in their sleep. If ever a song was Quo by numbers,it's this one.
