The fact that Linda's brother is Brian Pettifer always kind of blows my mind.

mark s, Bryter Layter is the one if you don't like the other two. the instrumentation and songwriting is more "fun" and less obviously folky

yes i know them all, i have the 1986 fruit-tree CD set and i've owned bryter layter on vinyl since i was a teenager -- BL is perkier yes but i think it's time to accept i am just not drawn to his voice

There's like three instrumentals on it, or sumthin', too.

Never heard of the connection between the title track and Up on Cripple Creek, but now I can't unhear it.
