Sorry Baakkerrr but I’m a huge XTC fan & neither of those covers come close to the originals, esp that Pitchshifter shitt

Oh trust me, I’m an uber XTC fan (own everything they’ve ever done in multiple formats and a boatload of rare & unreleased too.). I’ll take the originals too, but reckon these arecthe best covers of those tunes. Reckon the Sarah Mc one is a beauty. Andy Partridge actually prefers it to their own.

I don’t reckon there’s any point in doing a cover if you’re just going to xerox the original. I can appreciate the Pitchshifter one for that reason.

I appreciate their effort Zimmer but not overly fond of that one. Never really liked Primus though

No worries, just thought I’d throw it in the mix.

I know ‘Like a Version’ covers are sort of cheating here, but Paul Dempsey’s voice in this is quite something.
