Some of us were not keen on the A-side,' recalls drummer?Ken Lawrence, 'but Roy Pitt from Parlophone wanted us to record it.' The result was an accomplished?enough reading of Otis Redding's soul ballad 'That's How Strong My Love Is.' . . . The frenetic 'Things?She Says' could not have been more different. . . It's a singularly thrilling performance from start to finish?with West's howling vocals and slobbering harmonica work and Jones's string-mangling guitar leads?ricocheting like pinballs across the tough, hyper-adrenalized groove laid down by the others.' --Mike Stax?TRACKLISTING?A1.
