I don't pay proper attention I can't remember whether the conundrum wrapped in an enigma shrouded in mystery that is the song "Landslide" was ever cleared up. Namely, was the song that Isobel sang at Bowlie, backed by The Maisonettes, with Struan failing to play his sax, an original or a cover version?
I say Landslide is an original. Why? 1. The band don't tend to do more than one cover version in a show. And if they hear them claiming to have written 'The Kids Are Alright' then I'll eat my hat. Ha ha I have no hat - fooled you. Does anyone have a hat? 2. More importantly, the title was mentioned back in February as one of the tracks on the new LP (only about 18 months before its now projected release date blah blah) and you'd expect them to mention if would have mentioned if it was a cover.
