Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 1
I'm making an executive decision as poll leader. This round ended in a tie, but because Tom meant to vote for WaLHFMF instead of Kite and because the poll has already ended and I can't edit...I'm taking a vote away from Kite and awarding it to WaLHFMF which means She's Leaving Home is the sole track to be voted off in this round. Bye, bye.

Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 1
The mono version of She's Leaving Home is pretty fantastic in my opinion. I think the strings are tasteful. I like Paul's vocal and the lyrics are nicely done, definitely painting a picture without being too maudlin. John's weary backing vocal is also great. It might not fit the mood of the album, but it's a solidly realized track.
