I don't really think this is strictly a case for 'neglected masterpieces' as such, but I sure missed the band and have never really heard much hype about them compared to contemporaries - but I have really loved listening to and reading about The Durutti Column and Vini Reilly this week. I'm glad really as I don't think I would have 'got it' a few years ago... suffice to say a massive eye opener
I started with 'The Guitar and Other Machines' and 'Pol in B' is a standout track, for me.
Finally, (one for Johnny Brown) I actually heard Jehovahkill for the first time and wondered why on earth I've ignored Julian Cope till now....

Usually listen in fairly exclusive short bursts, good stuff to rediscover over and over again.
Hmmm, thought I recognised this when you posted the Jim Croce version, but I'd never even heard of him. Now, I'm wondering if the Avett Brothers did this cover at green man 2011... Andy, did you catch this set? Thanks anyway, thoroughly enjoyed both versions.
