Seconded. I always thought a lot of the songs that weren't released as
singles were just as strong. Like "Oh Tara," for instance - HOW is that
not hit material? Ditto for "Your Number or Your Name." And "Good Girls
Don't"? One of the all-time classics.
A real loss....

/"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the lights
shining sideways when the night is down, or going in strange places
with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to
the cities where you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in
every shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty, hungry
stomach failing from your heart." - John Millington Synge /
