A pleasant little mini- haul at my local charity shop over the weekend.
Four CDs (five if you count Ben Folds Five but that is going back) and a CD single.
The more astute among you will have worked out that Pass in Time: by Beth Orton is one of them.
From 2003 it is subtitled The Definitive Collection and is a two disc set of her stuff on the Heavenly label up to that date the second disc being a bonus disc of collaborations with other artists, remixes and b-sides.
It is rather good.
One from each disc for you today
On disc 1 and taken from the Trailer Park album is her take on The Ronettes number I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine
The side 2 offering is Stars All Seem to Weep the b-side from the 1999 Stolen Car single which was produced by Ben Watt.

A great cover of as Ronettes classic
ReplyDeleteBeth is good, two good choices.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear Ben Folds is going back.
ReplyDeleteI know you are a fan Rol
DeleteThe album is Whatever and Ever Amen.
A bit to smartass and tinkly for me.
Having said that I've kept worse
I've always been a sucker for smart-arse... and twinkly!
DeleteGreat name for a duo of 80s crime-fighting detectives.
DeleteSmart-arse and Tinkly! I'd watch that show.
Likewise
