That version is one of my favorites too. Wish I could help you Phill, but most of the one's I know of have been mentioned. I'm not at home though so there might be some oddball one's I can dig up later.
My 2 favorite versions, and definately worth checking out are the one on Billy Wooten's Wooden Glass Live record on Interim and the version that Port Authority did.
Yo Phill,
If you want I can upload these 2 for you, both @ 320K; although the Port Authority's is a vocal version.
Peace
I have the Billy Wooten. What album is the Port Authority version on?
I don't know what album it is on; I have it on a comp. Yeah, I know I'm a little dude!
Naw, I'm not even gonna front... I got plenty of raers but that one I just have on MP3. I don't really like the album enough to pay $$$$ for it. That's throwback jersey money, mane!
i say cunimondo's is the best i've ever heard. on the echoes lp. he actually has another version i think with vocals on feeling good with lynn marino. never heard it though.
A lot of folks think this particular lyric is not appropriate for what might be considered underground... but I think underground is whatever your mood or your feelings might be at the time, so long as it's the truth"[/i]. HOW YOU NOT GON' LUH THAT? Ohhhh CURTIS killed that version... I actually collect the Only Just Begun covers and Walk On By's, & Ain't no sunshine'sI will have to get back at you.. Didn't you play that Odell on your CD.... Nicetro! Well Back to training my Shaolin Brother!

carpenters have to be the makers of the saddest music of all pop groups of all time(not in a bad way)
"Hangin' arouuuund / Nothin' to do but frowwwwwn / Rainy days and Mondays always get me-ee down..." Ma shoulda had a meal, it might've made her feel a little better (I know, I know... I ain't right, but you know it's true). I loveded the Carpenters though.
Funny you should bring up this song, Phill. My mom and I were discussing this particular song in relation to Harold Bloom's Anxiety of Influence. a theory that basically says every writer -- or in this case, composer -- has to beat up their daddy before they can be The_Man. I argued that Mayfield's version was superior to the Carpenter's version because he reworks the song as a song of hope instead of just another love song.
Jonny Paycheck is a legend here in the Bay Area.....a dope, dope producer.
Oh, I know more about JP than he thinks I know... we go waaaay back. I'm just trying to get him to see the light, that's all. Renounce that other schitt and come back to the REAL SCHITT, JonnyPaycheck! It's still somewhere inside you, softly weeping in the polluted darkness like a plant that needs water and sunlight.

Therefore, I don't fuck with any other version.
