Wow! That's above what I'd call a decent version! Thanks for sharing it!

I downloaded an MP3 of a solo acoustic cover of Razzmatazz by Luke Haines (billed as The Auteurs, but it's just him, on what sounds at the end like a French radio show) from Haines's website years ago.
Can't find any reference to this online now, but if anyone would like the MP3 I can email it, or perhaps someone can post it somewhere so others can hear it.
NB Haines clearly took the repeated instruction about not reading the lyrics whilst listening to the music to heart, as he makes frequent deviations.
I think Luke tried to include Razz on the deluxe edition of Now I'm A Cowboy, the second Auteurs record but Universal didn't let him or were charging too much.
Here's my contribution. Sure I've posted it before at some point. I always thought there was something about this performance (and the little lyric changes) that really draws out the poignancy in the song. Sure some of the singing's a bit wayward but that's part of the charm!
