Robert plant? When i heard this i could have sworn it was some obscure early 70's rolling stones..
Ditto...thought it sounded familiar. Thanx Dig 4 the feature album I shall buy it:-)
Silly me, should have just googled it - the Cocteau Twins! I love the way Dig keeps reminding me of stuff I loved back then but didn't actually own.
Loved this version! (Also knew and loved another version in the 80s but can't remember who did it ...? Was it the Thompson Twins?)
