Here it is.
Actually, it's a one-off live version by Marshall, Jules Shear and the great Graham Maby on bass; if there's another solo Crenshaw version, I can't find it. When it was recorded -- at Tramps, sometime in the 90s, I believe -- the trio were doing business as Bag of Soup.
In any case, the song remains too gorgeous for words no matter who does it. Hell, I even like Cher's cover.

Thank you thank you. Absolutely beautiful -- song and performers.

More Everly Brothers than Walker Brothers. And fine. But what about that Bobby Fuller song?
"Julie."
You can download the whole set over at Sal's place here

I heard him perform this in the 80s with Jules and the Polar Bears.
Terrific! Marshall is touring right now.
By the way, how come no Marshall link under the "Bands We Love" sidebar?
Just great. Thanks, Steve.
As my friend once put it, "It's an in-the-coffin song," which means it's coming with me when I go.
OK -- great song, no doubt.
But any other Scott Walker/Walker Brothers material I've heard has left me indifferent.
Point me in the direction of something else by him/them that I'm missing out on...
Sal, thanks for safekeeping this set and making it available.

IMHO
I'll dig them up and give them a shot.
Maybe I just prefer Butch Walker. I dunno...
Thanks, Steve and Sal! I am just today booking a trip with my old college roommate to see Marshall at City Winery on April 29th, so the synchronicity makes this an even bigger pleasure than it would have been anyway.
