Cover of the Red Weed Part 1 by Jeff Wayne. If you had the albums this was the first track on side 3. My brother and I used to listen to this on a tape in our Dads' car,usually coming back from Birmingham Airport, in the dark!! Side one of the tape on the journey up there. I love this tune, beautiful and disturbing at the same time.
This is a very good cover. Interesting sounds used, scratchy and prickly weed rather than all squelchy like the original. The rhythms are like raindrops here rather than the original heartbeat sound. This version is grimmer and more claustrophobic.
