Pep, OK isn't meant to seem derogitory, far from it. It's a bright OK rather than a dull OK but. until listening to your versions of Harvey's songs I've never heard anybody else sing them. The thing on this track though is (for me) Harvey's vocals and the piano, the (eventual) Yes man turned up trumps here and, well, it just does IT for me.
I do like your versions and how about having a go at Requiem, Fantacy From a Corner Seat, Able Baker or Lot 204 (which i LOVE)
(I don't think Paddy P means have you tried this song unaccompanied, but is referring to a Harvey Andrews song with the title 'Unaccompanied'...the one which begins: "The hooter wakes me up to face the day again..." (I believe it's on the Writer of Songs album?).
Hi Paddy - No I've never tried to do this one unaccompanied. When I was in my 20's I sang this at a Folk Club in B'ham in front of Harvey Andrews (With his permission of course) He said he enjoyed it, perhaps he was just being diplomatic.
Great cover

It's OK. On the original I really love the piano- a certain Rick Wakeman before he got ................

Pep I wonder did you ever do Anrews's "Unaccompanied" I think it would suit you.
Thanks anyway for reminding me of some of those songs from my early 20s
