    I heard that version long before I heard the original. Was that the case elsewhere? I have to agree, Farlowe puts a fair bit more soul into it than the Rollies do.

    OK, here are three great covers from the greatest musical of all time (if you disagree, you're just wrong):

    Utopia - Something's Coming:


    Brian Setzer: Prologue/Jets Song:


    Patti Labelle, Natalie Cole, and Sheila E: America


    Hard to stop at three...

    Re: Syd Barrett covers not being up to snuff. A Mojo feature on Syd Barrett a few years ago came with a CD of assorted S.B. covers. Among the tracks included were:

    Field Music / Terrapin
    J Mascis / No Good Trying
    Captain Sensible / Octopus
    Hawkwind / Long Gone
    Robyn Hitchcock / Dark Globe

    They were OK, nothing essential; however, the one that really stood out was by Hope Sandoval. Her version of "Golden Hair" lifts it into V.U. terrain and beyond, to the sound of the first summer without grown-ups. For Syd Barrett fans only.

    Nope. Phil Collins's cover of the same song is even worse, and its badness is emphasized by being on the same album with Aretha Franklin's cover (which is the same album where I got two of the three covers above). As an interesting side note, "A Boy like That" on this album is Selena's last recording ever.

    Not that the original isn't dynamite...

    Not Bryan Ferry's version? Or Pete Townshend's?

    Bryan Ferry's version was a big disappointment to me. I had always wanted to hear Roxy Music cover "I Put a Spell on You," so I got really excited when Ferry actually did it. But it turned out to be nothing at all like what I had imagined: Ferry stripped it down to little more than a groove, with the old lounge lizard himself just murmuring the title every so often.

    By the way, for all those under the age of 40, whose first language is Enlgish, the Latin word Domine rhymes with Astronomy, kind of the point of the title really, that rhyme.

    But God knows how many times I've heard DJs on radio say Du-mine, even those of an age who should know better.
    Yes, because everybody studied Latin, huh? In my case, it was actually a college radio DJ I heard pronounce it correctly, that I realized "Oh, ok I get it now".

    Your description sounds like one of the alternate remixes, not the tune from the album.

    Thought of that one as well, but it could have used a screaming violin-solo.
