Oddly, the best track on the album isn't on the album, or indeed feature Mr Cole or his Commotions. Best cover version in the whole history of popular music? Got to be a contender: https://youtu.be/_FWoJS_VTPI

GregP Nov 2020 4:55pm, 28 Nov 2020 123,906 posts	0 GregP I love the Amos version. It's a really patchy album though (Strange Little Girls). Her version of Happiness IAWG is even worse than the original. And a sneeze under ten minutes long. https://youtu.be/MeXCWM_gssY
