Isn't that a great compilation? I got it when it first came out and was surprised
how quickly it went to the cut out bins. Such incredible versions on there. I love
those two as well as Aztec Camera doing "Do I Love You?" which always just sends
me, and kd lang doing "So In Love." (Whose new album Drag is a masterpiece too).
And I must say that Kirsty Maccoll doing Miss Otis Regrets is one of the best "love
denied" anthems ever put on record (thanks to the backing by the Pogues, natch)
