[348] Luna - Bewitched (LP)
This is my second copy of the 2012 LP release of Luna’s Bewitched, the previous copy was sent to me, and signed by, Dean, so I guess I bought this one, although can’t find any email evidence of that.
It’s funny, I never voted for Bewitched as my favourite album in the annual survey but invariably the songs I’d pick for favourite song would be tracks off Bewitched. It is chock full of absolute Luna classics! Four of Luna’s top ten songs they’ve played live are from this album.
Since the album never had an LP release until this release most people wouldn’t have heard the album with an A and a B side (although it had been released on cassette so some had) and as such wouldn’t have noticed that the A-side was probably one of the strongest sides of vinyl Luna would ever release (and had all four of those top ten live staples).
- California (All The Way) - 10th most played live
- Tiger Lily - 6th
- Friendly Advice - 2nd
- Bewitched - 8th
- This Time Around - 23rd
Not that the B-side is that shabby! Here are a coupld of clips of the other side of Bewitched
And of course Great Jones Street featured a guitar solo from the late, great Sterling Morrison and you can hear him and Dean playing it for a radio show over here:
