I believe that Carter's appeal at the time failed, but that he subsequently cleared his name. I think there was a film about it.
I like the sound of "Desire", with its rough harmonies and very loose rhythmic playing. Not many of the songs cover well though. My favourite, "Isis", is a dark comedy, which I can't imagine working as a solo song. It is easy enough to pull off a reasonable sounding version of "Sarah", but on reflection, there is no reason why anyone else should sing such a detailed, personal song!
