mournfully brilliant.

Many thanks for posting this. Besides Death of Samantha's version, there was another by an alt rock band from (I think) Philadelphia. It came out in the early to mid '80s. Can't think of the name of the band, though...

nobody broke anything sharper than sylvia plath

The Death of Samantha version was on "Where the Women Wear the Glory and the Men Wear the Pants" (Homestead).
I never heard the original before. Fantastic posting, thanks a lot.
If someone has the DOS version, please please post it. I lost the record in a fire.

his star will burn bright for the ages.

Listening to this version again and realized that he's got his guitar tuned down a whole-step; D,G,C,F,A,D.

I'm comparing this version to the one that I've got on the live tape and like that one better. I think he'd been playing it longer and decided to change the key to E and it seems to sit better in his voice.

Death of Samantha (featuring future members of Cobra Verde and Guided by Voices) covered this in 1988.

I met Peter over at Harvey Pekar's (of American Splendor fame). We got together and played once but it didn't really gel. Last time I saw him was probably in '76 at a Peter and the Wolves gig at Peabody's in the flats. Someplace I've got a cassette tape of Peter playing this song and a bunch of others on a gig that was given to me by some mutual friends circa 1975. Very sad that he died as young as he did. He was a real catalyst on the Cleveland rock scene.
