I may have the wrong specs on but I believe a couple of intelligent, though somewhat sycophantic, music lovers are starting to agree with my opinion (to a degree). As for "Lay Lady Lay" I must say that this is one of Mr. Zimmermans finest vocal performances and I have yet to hear a better version of the song than his own beautiful rendition.Those suits at Columbia must've known a thing or two after all.An interesting take on "L.A.R.S." 6 but the same could be said about "Heartbreak Hotel" and "She Loves You" etc. so your evaluation does not persuade me to change my original view.As a couple of great philosophers once stated: "It's Only Rock And Roll".
