>I prefer to use the term 'cover version'

i think cover version is fine if the track is credited as being written by
the original artist - but this is just my point - in many cases the AJ
groups claim to have written the track themselves. For example: "Hungry
Like A Baby" by Galliano is credited to Rob Gallagher and Constantine Weir,
if I remember rightly, when in fact it is a "cover " of "Tuane" by Hammer -
perhaps more insulting is "Jus Reach" again supposedly written by Galliano.
some minor sleave notes mention "inspiration from Archie Shepp" - but he
wrote the fucking track and it's called "Attica Blues".

>unless its a crap version

then it's a crap version

just my 20 quid's worth ;-)

btw can anyone remember who IZIT credited as writing "Stories"
