 A great record October 16, 2000

This is perhaps Ferry's greatest album of cover versions of great songs, chosen with great care and excellent taste. All the songs are wonderful classics in their own right, and Ferry adds to them his own interpretation and style without detracting from the originals at all. This is not easy to do, but Ferry succeeds because her clearly respects the original versions, and brings his own unique creativity to bear on the performances. This is one record I have listened to over and over again without tiring of it. Highly recommended.

I first bought this album in 1973 when it first came out and it is still being played in my house today. Every track is a winner and Ferry has chosen the covers so well from such a wide range of sources that obviously influenced him - The Beatles, Motown/Smokey Robinson, Dylan, The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones etc. - but still manages to bring a fresh interpretation to them so they don't sound dated even now. You can take one song and trace it back to it's original version and, assuming you've never heard stuff by them before, you open up whole new panaromas of music. And the front cover pic is cool epitomised - I've been wishing I looked that good ever since
STILL AS GOOD AS EVER November 18, 2009

I bought this in 1974 in LP form and played it all summer. It hasn't dated and the music is as unique and original as ever.

I had this album when it was first released in 1973 and used to play it a lot, then left it behind with lots of other things when I was divorced and was really pleased to receive it so quickly today (the day after I ordered it) and have been singing along to the songs I know so well - sorry neighbours!
