His Name Is Alive - Can't Always Be Loved 7"


I think this must have been a Peel thing, I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio and then going out to buy it the next day. Got the album this is off, too, and it's really great. Hope you like it.

Has a great thing on side A, which is that the single goes straight into the 4-track demo of the same song without any gap. Nice touch, as is having a version of my other favourite of their tunes as the B-side, pleasingly ramshackle, and they clearly didn't know how to end it. The album/single version of this one is worth seeking out too.

Please excuse any pops and crackles, I dropped this down the back of the sofa at one point.

1. Can't Always Be Loved (radio)
2. Can't Wait Forever (4-track)
3. Wish I Had A Wishing Ring (first one)

It's right here for you.
