Kevin Ayers - Thank You Very Much (1992)
Originally recorded in 1974 as the b-side of After the Show, this wonderful version was rerecorded in 1992 for Still Life With Guitar. While the original was very spare, this adds some tasteful and minimal instrumentation.
And the taste of your kiss
I remember and miss
But at least now I know
What it’s like to have kissed you
A favourite song (and album) and with always a sneaky regard for Kevin for all that troubled time so long ago it seems now and the naughty boy of intellectual pop with the richest baritone is always worth a reminder ( ask John Cale for whom the opening line at least is pertinent of his legendary ‘Guts’ about whom it is written!)
