Another Wedding Present. I love a good cover version. It's an artform all in itself, I won't expand at length. Great covers are few and far between. Some bands are just good at them. R.E.M,, The Clash and also Wedding Present for instance. Here as a B Side from earlier this year, they take on Magazine's incredible Song From Under The Floorboards. It's not really a task that needs to be undertaken. The original is quite good enough by itself. A justification, if one is needed for the greatness of Howard Devoto and the wonderful job his band did in supporting his vision.
Still Gedge and Wedding Present do a great job themselves. By actually managing to make this wonderful song their own for three minutes. All you can ask.
