Didn’t have much money in the 80s or 90s for albums so I always scoured the clearance racks. Luckily found this cassette for $1.99. It’s one of my favorite (now) CDs.

This is not a version of the Fontella Bass song, but a totally different song, thanks to its fantastic arrangement. "Only" the lyrics are the same. One of my favourite Bryan Ferry's songs.
