Thanks Dave.

Someone else pointed out the Anji similarity on Twitter, and I can hear the resemblance personally. However, Ben Pritchard himself had this to say (on Twitter):

“I just had to look that song up and I can see where you would get that impression but honestly the J,J & J riff was kind of inspired by classical gas, I was trying to learn it at the time. I pinched one of the chord transitions and changed the tempo and just repeated it.”

Cheers,

Steve

Great stuff, as usual. The ‘folky twang’ guitar part in Janet Johnny + James is extremely reminiscent of Angi by Davey Graham to my ears (also covered by Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and seemingly every other folk guitarist).

Cheers,
Dave

The single of Sparta came out a few months after RNFLP, so it’ll be covered in the FHR post.

Cheers,

Steve

You just get better and better. A few thoughts:

1) never have there been so many versions of Fall songs from various sources. Personally, I think the leaked version has its share of wonderfulness, especially Contraflow. It sounds almost ‘dubby’ and excites me more than the straightforward final mix.

2) the US version is my favourite. Most of the mixes are at least as good as the UK one but you get the added bonus of ‘Portigal’ and the single version of ‘Sparta’ which, as you more or less say, shits from a great height on the sluggish album version.

3) speaking of which, you’ve missed ‘Sparta’ from your singles rankings. Surely top 10?

Keep it up, cheers
Dan

It has become a little harder – involving a lot of internet trawling!
Thankfully, by the 21st century, people were posting a great deal online.

You’ve still uncovered plenty of interesting nuggets that I wasn’t previously aware of. Very glad you have rated this above Levitate, the continued placement of that at 5 was starting to bug me!
