a band called CCS covered this with big band jazz backing - it's excellent,
although i don't know if any of it could be described as the pearl and dean
thing - anyone know more about this? a friend Rob Smith 8'(now sadly
departed from the list...) actually tried to track this down and found out
it was specially written for them, though there's a track called 'macarthur
park' (forget who by) which is v.similar.
