He really does belt out those words like a pro, no? It helps that his guitar line is simple enough so that anyone who wants to cover this can look like a star if he does both at once.

Listening to the Go-Be's solo comp now...man, "Danger in the Past" is a great song.

hm, yeah, is this solo comp worth getting? how is it set up? Are the Grant/Robert songs mixed together to create a virtual Go-Betweens record or are they separate?

The Grant stuff is in chronological order and offers no surprises; Robert's is mixed up. In this context I'm underwhelmed, funnily enough.

"I've Been Looking For Somebody" -- wow.

The perfect Sunday evening record.

Mick Harvey's Bad Seeds vibe is all over this record. I'd love to hear Nick Cave sing the title track or "I've Been Looking For Somebody".

this record is perfect

It's a great album, <3 Robert F.

One of my favourites ever since I first heard it. It's weird though cause I never considered Nick Cave as a reference point - I heard Jeffrey Lee Pierce, particularly on 'Leave Here Satisfied'.

Way overdue for both those albums.

don't think i've ever come across either of these on vinyl before — might have to shell out for 'em.

Ouch, can't afford £46 for both special editions right now :(

The remastered version of Danger in the Past has just arrived and sounds good (on CD, at least).
