Galaxy 500 - Ceremony

Over on the British Sea Power site a few posters were raving about the Galaxie 500 cover of ceremony, on their "On Fire" album. Haven't heard this version before - does it rate?

yes

Yeah, its fantastic, just like everything they ever did. It's not on "On Fire", tho' - wasn't it a b-side???

B-side of the Blue Thunder (w/ sax) single. Great version of a great song by a great band. I think I remember somewhere Peter Hook saying that he showed them how to play it or something.

it's on the remastered 'on fire' cd not the original. I remember seeing them play it in manchester uni and I was standing only a few feet away from peter hook, can't remember his reaction to it though...I'm sure he approved as it is pretty good

On Fire - Is that the one with the song that starts "I wrote a poem n a dog biscuit, but the dog refused to look at it"?

I think the song's 4th of July, and On Fire's the album.

Correct on the song title, but it's on the album "This is Our Music". Very amazing band, I must say. I bought their box set a few years back and it still gets many listens. Their music like the perfect blend of The Velvet Underground's third album meets "Unknown Pleasures".
