Altres...
As I posted, have heard few of the original recordings.
As you have know doubt surmised, plain and simply I don't care for
many of the songs they covered. Period.
Your comment on 'Cortez The Killer' is interesting.
I do have the Neil Young original, as well as two or three of
his 'live' versions (best IMO is from 'Live Rust').
His 'Live Rust' version is superb- who could improve on it?
That being said, The Church's version IMO is a much more
'atmospheric' version and in some respects, superior.
I could (and have) listened to this version continuously- almost an entire day.
Neil's 'Live Rust' version would require a modest supply of sedatives
for me to survive more than a half-dozen plays.

Fraulein.
