My understanding is....this song was originally recorded on one of those cheap plastic 4-track recorders. Sounded great on the record,sounds great here.
Guided by Voices have made a career out of shunning slick production and studio fluff. Works for Spoon too.
Soft Effects is so brilliant to me. It took a lot of repeat listens, but I love it now. I think this song comes across well on that disc, punchy and raucous. You're right though: live renderings always have more vitality to 'em.

Soft Effects was released in '97, one year after Telephono (their first album). Just sayin'.

yes, they did not catch this song well on soft effects... sounds so much better live.
