To be honest, I've not heard either of those.  I have to point out, 
though, that the Fox In The Snow cover by Kiki & Herb just *has* to be 
the best one.  I mean, not only does it have a gospel choir kicking in 
with the backing vocals, it's got a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale 
in the middle too.  Classic!

Eileen is a great poster.  When I want a reliable critical viewpoint, I 
always trust what big camp bald men have to say, you know.

He got the details wrong, though!  If you're going to Finsbury Park 
station, use the Victoria Line.  The Picadilly Line is awfully slow, 
and the only good thing about it is the wall tiling on the station 
platforms.  Changing onto the Victoria at Kings Cross is a much better 
idea, even though you'll have to walk down the escalator.  Oh, and if 
your train is going to Paddington or Marylebone, the best route is via 
the Bakerloo and change at Oxford Circus.

Yours under ground,
Caitlin
