Hi everybody,
I was always surprised why there is no vocal while it is structured as a song. And I wrote it myself: [https://youtu.be/1d7CvhBusQs?si=5EI8bEa-F7ji3jzB](https://youtu.be/1d7CvhBusQs?si=5EI8bEa-F7ji3jzB) . Unfortunately I can’t sing so I applied my lyrics as subtitles. What do you think about?

I never thought of Ritchie’s lead line as a vocal one, but of course it could have worked as one too!
But I still think that fledgling Mk I left for whatever reasons their best early composition off their debut, namely …

As to “Shades of …”, I prefer “Love help me”. It’s interesting, that its instrumental version doesn’t look like a song.

The idea of putting lyrics to “And the Address” is interesting!
However, I was disappointed by the choice of the modern cover; honestly, the Mk I version is the only DP one that counts for me!

I agree, the original version is better. But it has a long instrumental introduction, so I decided eventually to use the self-cover.
