I got my 4f12 the old-fashioned way (eBay), and
I liked "Everybody Wants...", although I thought
it was over-something'ed on the vocals. And Tom
Verlaine (IMHO) makes "Gimme Shelter" worth a
few listens.
With the disclaimer that I haven't yet heard SLTS,
I think what's missing from this is a sense of fun.
I wish she had done, say, "Hitchin' a Ride" instead
of "Helpless"; or "Venus" -- something from the 60s
with some fun and energy.
