I got into YFF back in the early ’90s when This One’s For The Ladies was released. It was a good couple weeks. The week before I had bought the dubut album by The Stone Roses and was blown away. YFF’s I bought on a whim because I liked the artwork and thought song titles like “Taco Wagon” sounded right up my alley. Needless to say it made me a fan, and largely because of their cover of The Kinks’ “Picture Book” as we see here. I was not aware that it was an old Kinks track at the time. When I finally did hear the original version, I was disappointed. YFF gave it punch and buzz. I came along to liking Ray Davies’ version, but never as much as this one.
