Covering Up

.
Lazy post this morning, I have to go wait for some trades people to lag Nan's loft and as the time of their arrival is about as precise as The Second Coming. I shall be spending most of the day without interwebs and haven't the time to scan this mornings shit fest that is the MSM before I leave. ( she still won't get BroadBand, selfish I call call it).

So, 'Cover Versions', I have heard it said that the 'Cover Version' is one of the great compliments one artist can pay another. Unfortunately most are 'meh, why did they bother' they add nothing to the original and others simply embarrassing.

But once in a very long while, a 'Cover Version' can exceed the original.

Here in my opinion are two of the best, enjoy.

There are very few covers "better than". Maybe Cockers' With a Little Help.
