Out of Time is glorious, a perfect illustration of the band's affinity with classic pop. I would genuinely take it over the Farlowe/Stones versions, which it absolutely dances around.
James doing Red Sleeping Beauty live for radio was also amazing, bringing something out of his voice I've never heard before or since. Even if he might have fucked up the words.
Wrote For Luck is shit, Been a Son was needless at best, and good lord I'd forgotten Start Me Up, the very definition of inessential.
