Feeling the s/t more than Rotters Club but man these are such beautiful records

^^^ I've always said the same, but just listened to Rotters Club this morning, and there is such incredible playing and arranging on that as well; all four players (plus guests) just ridiculously good. It maybe doesn't flow quite as well as the debut. The guitar solo on "The Yes No Interlude" is one of the fuzziest, Frippiest, best things ever.

Used to think the s/t was better but also prefer Rotters Club right now. It's a bit more straight ahead and the playing slightly 'tougher'. Also just less familiar.
I've only ever had the CDs so it seemed odd that they appeared to reprise Fitter Stoke Has A Bath on the second album; the single version is stuck on the end of the first. By the way I am 12 what is this song about?
A live Half Way Between Heaven And Earth is one of the extra tracks on Rotters Club and it is teh beauty. IIRC there's a slightly longer edit on more recent reissues or something.
