Record is all peak.
this is the sign that needs to be repeatedly tapped

Maybe it was my own reluctance not to double up on stuff. I bought Eno's "More Blank Than Frank" comp in the late-'80s, and someone taped "Warm Jets" for me, and that sufficed for *years*, even though the 1973-77 LPs were out there. (If I was so frugal, how come I'm so broke now, huh?)

I didn't think the "covers" were that bad, anyway. Like you say, "3" had the same format. Just, not Brel.
Well there's five of them for a start, that's at least two too many. I could certainly do without hearing "What Are You Doing With the Rest of Your Life" for one.

Yeah, there is that. I'm just thankful "it's over" isn't the Roy Orbison song, after Michael Caine

That was tough. I ended up voting for "The Seventh Seal" because for a long time it was the only song I could get into. The rest took a while to click. I'm aware it's kind of... pretentious, but it's a great opener that pops into my head a lot.

Nice results. Love the fact that every song got at least one vote and 'first place' is shared by three tracks.

Yeah, the results fit the record imo. Nothing's left behind.

Get Behind Me is a little left behind. I do think it's a great song and it's been on my mind a lot over the last week. At least it still got one vote.

I guess one more vote would make it number one on that distrib chart
