...please enjoy the great Brinsley Schwarz (featuring some guy named Nick Lowe on lead vocals) with the title song from said anthology.
That song originally appeared on the Brinsley's 1972 LP Nervous on the Road, which definitely behooves behearing in its entirety. I should also add that the organ playing on that -- by the American member of the band, the should be a household word Bob Andrews -- is among the most gloriously lyrical Hammond B-3 work ever committed to magnetic tape.
And because I love you all more than food, here's an absolutely glorious live performance (from long running Brit TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test)...
...in case you're one of those unfortunates who has problems with the audio links I post using the Box.

Nick Lowe proving he can sing, play guitar and chew gum at the same time.
Posted a link to this on Bob Andrew's Facebook page, and Martin Belmont responded: "Bob lives in the USA but is British born and bred!"
I regret the error.
Brinsley Schwarz, done in by a record company promotion! I was in England when they chartered a plane to fly every rock critic in the country and a few contest-winners to New York to see them play at the Fillmore East, opening for Van Morrison if memory serves.
