I first heard the cover of this song by the Australian artist John English. Although his cover was good, the original version with the amazing saxophone part really is a pleasure to listen to.

So the next few songs were ones I considered for my 10 album covers but I rejected them because the album covers were boring. Not sure whether I can theme this last set so will just let them rip. As I mentioned a couple of days back will continue until they open up the aquatic

I am partly choosing my ten album covers based on the iconic album covers. This album was certainly iconic. This song tells a common story but has a surprising moral sting in its tail. January 2022: RIP Meatloaf
