Having purchased this record when it was released i was pleased as punch. The reworkings were wonderful and insightful, the new songs were fine in an added bonus b-side kind of way. Wide open road was just stunning, i had never heard the original and after seeking it out
thought though it might have been a Triffids song before, the boys hijacked it into a new life that can only be a Church song.

That being said...

This autumn, for well on 2 months this compact little song kept running around in my head. I knew it was the Church and i knew i wasn't that familiar with it. Which is so rare. So i went to work going through the catalog and lo and behold "Song in the Afternoon".

3 chords, no changes and just makes me smile. Though the lyrics are weak. The sum of it's parts baby!
Listen to it today. Just a great little song.
