My take on Heatwave: I like it a lot. When I initially got into them a number of years back, I had no idea it was a cover so naturally assumed it was one of theirs which we all look more favourably on really.Heston wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 4:53pmAgreed and agreed. Would be a very short album though with the removal of Heatwave. The addition of When You're Young would put it into classsic territory, and fits thematically with the album. Though I know they had a VFM thing going on at the time, with singles being kept off albums.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 4:44pmI like Heatwave but no way that belongs on the album. Should've been a B-side. Smithers Jones shouldve been swapped album version for B-side version.Heston wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 4:37pmI still like Girl On the Phone, it's just not as good as the rest of that great album, maybe aside from the cover of Heatwave.

Re: seven song shuffle
Exactly mate.
I'm still not over finding out I've been singing the wrong opening line for 40 years. Hate it even more now.

I love that last verse where it rises out of the piano breakdown in a higher key.Inder wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 8:19pmChoice cut.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Feb 2020, 4:56pmSomething in the Air - Thunderclap Newman

Re: seven song shuffle
Interesting that I love that track and my favourite track from The Who Sell Out is "Armenia City in the Sky" which was also written by Speedy Keene.Heston wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 8:31pmI love that last verse where it rises out of the piano breakdown in a higher key.Inder wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 8:19pmChoice cut.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Feb 2020, 4:56pmSomething in the Air - Thunderclap Newman

The Albert Hammond song is the best song the Who never wrote.
