I suppose it's better than Mimin' Simon. There would have been 3:41 of silence.

Well thank you. That's a cut I can honestly say I haven't heard since I owned the album as a kid. Paul was looking for the exotic beat before it was cool.

His best line was in echoing The Cadillacs:  "They often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl."

A living legend. A poet who will live on in literature for years to come. Lucky to have lived in his era of song.

A great homage album to 50s doo wop, and one of PS's best.

would prob just give it a 7 but the nostalgic flashback pushed it to 8.  played this vinyl to death as a teenager.
