Side A:
Laura
Side B:
Marilyn (Vogue Love Songs Sessions)
This is a nice one. 'Laura' is such a gorgeous song. Hearing it on this 7", after playing 7" roulette all night, feels just right. It doesn't quite feel like a song that came out in 2012. It feels timeless. It feels like I should have picked this dusty old 45 up along with the others I've blogged tonight.
I didn't, of course. This was released for Record Store Day in 2013 (but it's fairly easy to come by). I must say, I love the generic Parlophone cover (and who knew that Parlophone was still an active label?! Though, I remember thinking the same thing when Kylie Minogue was signed to them in the early 2000's), which I first encountered on the 2010 Bat For Lashes RSD release.
The version of 'Marilyn' here is, I hate to say, nothing special. Not that it matters. This one's worth the price of admission for 'Laura' alone.
