I've just been listening to this over the last couple of days. I think it
tails off a little towards the end, but overall a very good album. The cover
versions are excellent. I picked up the 2-cd version which has a recent live
performance featuring the greatest hits.....Plants & Birds & Rocks & Things
indeed.
