This Mortal Coil's three albums, didn't realize they were largely covers until after _Blood_ and discovering The Apartments.

It was only a couple of years ago that I found out Not So Manic Now by Dubstar was a cover. The original is by a band called Brick Supply who I'd never heard of.
many years ago i worked with one of the BS blokes.he was very angry and bitter re the whole thing re that track (and everything else in life to be fair).

Reading liner notes wouldn’t always tell you if it was a cover. Eg: Led Zepellin
