  Seven Songs for the Week #183 - 7th Oct 26

  Jason Carty

  Took this great compilation off the shelf this week and had it on in the car. Here’s another b-side left off the album. In this case, it’s the b-side of 1989’s I Won’t Back Down from the Full Moon Fever Sessions. This track proves two things: (1) Tom & Jeff Lynne were on fire making FMF, and (2) Stan Lynch isn’t a drummer that I like. He’s not the drummer here, and it slaps. I prefer latterday Heartbreaker Ron Blair’s style (this isn’t Ron either). Oddly, while there has been plenty of Tom reissues, no spotlight has been shone onto Full Moon Fever - his biggest success. Is Jeff blocking it, I wonder? He doesn’t seem a fan of “early versions”.
