Well, no chance of arguing on single choice here. Terrific LP cut Spaghetti made a great choice for single and the Darren Hayman-directed video only added to its charm. Despite what it says on the WP's website this was never released on 7 inch which means the only way to get the b-side was to suck-it-up and buy the download. As it turns out, I Love You is a Lou Reed cover from his under-appreciated eponymous album. In these hands it's slowed down slightly and has a lovely guitar solo added. It's one of those excellent Reed songs where the lyrics are disarmingly straight-forward (see also, Pale Blue Eyes) and the end effect is not too far from the WP's own Sweetheart. Which is as good a recommendation as you can get. Someone seems to be playing an accordian too.
