The old compilation “immortal story” is very good, but I love the voice. “The beast” is my fave but the Peel version is definitely better.

I put the 1st CD of the Sanctuary 2CD on and my player refused to play it. Need to fix player still.Otherwise would have that first l.p. and a half on rotation this week.Do enjoy those first 2 anyway and whatever live stuff I've heard. Guitar gets more ballroom patchy live QMS like in places.Perret wound up being sent to school at Bancrofts which was across the road from my grandparents. I think he came from the other side of London though.

2CD set is Why Don't You Kill Yourself on Edsel not Sanctuary. Pretty good though either way.

If you don't like Peter Perrett's voice you're not going to get very far with the Only Ones.

Well maybe---in more recent times, I've learned how to listen around the singer when I like the band well enough to try, and these musos did sound better when I tried Special View on a better stereo than mine. What the hell, I might like him better now too.

Special View is a great place to start, who says otherwise?

Surely enough versions for a tribute album.
