Let Me Down Easy / Ticket To The Moon (Karen 1969)

Commonly regarded as a travesty re-recording by most Soul fans, I know - but if anyone's got one, I rather like it.

    Thanks, Dave. How do I reach this so-called Johnny Hitman? The Karen version is nothing like the Calla original. Rerecorded around 1969; nasty, heavy drums - a sort of grinding psych-funk

Wait, Bones. You mean YOU'RE commonly regarded as a travesty or the record is? I'm confused.

With Karen copy you get the bonus of the pounding B-side.

Weingarden, you know what a travesty I am. A walking perversion, no less.

Ah, I thought maybe he was an actual hitman. One you have to contact through an intermediary, you know. Rifle in a suitcase, piano wire belt and all that kind of thing.

I'll give it a go, thanks Dave.
