In about 1964, I heard, for the first time, the song "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Peter, Paul & Mary. Struck with this, I bought the single. When I got home I found that my older brother had bought Dylan's "Freewheelin" LP the same afternoon, which contained his own version of his song, that I had never heard before.

There being the usual sibling rivalry I was keen to show that PP&M was better than BD. I lost, hands down. His clinching argument was "Listen how uncomfortable they sound singing 'knowed'". Dead right. They were far too well-mannered.

I did like their later single, "To Much Of Nothing". And then I heard Dylan's original Basement Tapes version. Once more, beaten hands down.
