THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

On a morning like this

I Can't Stand the Rain - Anne Peebles, the original as I have only just found out! Is equally or as good as...
I Can't Stand the Rain - Eruption, love this version - until now I had thought it was the original - sounds of Childhood etc., however...
I Can't Stand the Rain - Tina Turner - you can't beat a TT belter every now and then, simply the best version (Oops, I'll get my raincoat)

Original: Living in America - James Brown.
Other version: Living with a Hernia - Weird Al Yankovic.

Thanks for the recommendation. I still prefer Junior Murvin's version but you're right, it's good.

Tomorrow Never Knows - from Revolver by The Beatles

Never Know - from Mammatus Clouds by Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese heavy psych)

That sounded intriguing so I gave the LP a spin... interesting (and relaxing) but not my thing overall. Glad I tried it though.
