Agreed, the vocals are really high, certainly higher, I think, than they sound on any of the recorded material from the same era. This is a real revelation and given their exacting quality control standards, there is probably a wealth of unreleased tunes equally as beautiful as this.
Thank you so much for posting, especially given the minimal amount of official stuff we've had the joy of hearing, over the last quarter century-plus!!
It's easy to see why, stylistically, this did not fit on 'Rooftops' but that doesn't stop it being one of their best songs. It is so moving, so evocative. It needs finishing and releasing. Soon.
One day, Blue Nile are going to put out a box set of unreleased material through the years and it's going to be the greatest thing ever.

Cheers
