"Who Was It?" (Steve guide vocal)


















































People seemed interested in the “Cool In A Crisis” Steve-guide-vocal that I posted a couple of days ago, so here's another one from that “Optimistic Fool” album. I seem to remember him being especially pleased with the line “there’d always be the wrong kind of leaf on the rail” when he wrote it; I also remember quite how grumpy he was when, after we’d recorded the song and the album had been out for months, absolutely no-one had remarked on it. He said it reminded him of when Phil Spector was under-appreciated after “River Deep Mountain High”.

For something to look at, here are a couple of the rejected designs for the back of the album.


"Think Bubble" is an album (LP only) of 1995 demos for an unreleased Pooh Sticks album.
See 'About Me' for details.
