@KJPRAR1 You should be happy his music is still reaching new and younger generations, through this track many Death In Vegas fans have become aware of Gene Clark. There are those who would still be surprised to even learn that it was a cover by Death In Vegas and not an original.. my whole intent was to draw attention to that for Death In Vegas fans and pay the respect due to Gene Clark. Peace!

@Waxthumper i can't remember my original comment, but i am sure you're a huge fan, taking the time to post this remarkable track. probably i said something about the graphic. having known Gene at the end of his life, it just makes me sad (for personal reasons). but, it's silly for me to have bothered you with that! happy holidays, friend!

@KJPRAR1 or you could do a google image search for Gene Clark...

I always thought the Death In Vegas version was really out of place on that album, but I also never knew it was a cover until now. Still, I feel like Clark’s version is a better fit with the rest of “Scorpio Rising”, haha.

Dont tink weller wrecked the song, though the clark version just edges the DiV cover for me. It is the violin and the tempo - there seems a dissonance between vocals and strings. Both glorious sounds, many thanks for posting.

goddamm this is a good song.

Weller wrecked it

@KJPRAR1 Why? I'm a huge fan of both and I posted it as a video response to Death In Vegas' cover version.. The image clearly has Gene Clark in it also and is just to get the attention of DIV fans that might not otherwise be aware it's a Gene Clark track, as you can see from the comments there's been a few. I quite like the image anyway.

@Hossco76 Why did they come up with it at all?
Anyways, on-topic, this is a great song. I love it when covers help me discover great artists of years gone by.
