Unsung Hero-Undiscovered Genius # 867 & counting.......2003-10-05

A cut on a comp. (Look At Me I've Fallen Into A Teapot); another on another....

My retail Man had it, got it, I enjoyed months ago -largely hearing from the other room- now, putting it on again, unless there's 'something in the H2O', can safely declare it to be a woik o' greatness (originality, catchiness, string-embellished PopSyche mood/era/romantic choirboy poet unrequitedness captured etc) up there not far from the best.

~Effective 60s-70s trademark doubletrakked lead vox~

~Phorewarning phidelity phreaks: the last few cuts sound like home recordings of that era (perhaps the songs begun at home then augmented in real studio?). Phorgive the tinniness, savor the stories, nous suggeste!
