Short succint and distilled to its '74 essence. Plus Donna's sexiest "Ohhhhhhhhh" ever.

Sweet as honey. Holds together in perfect harmony and never drags.

Pushes against the melody: Late '71 and the song's potential is about to burst free in the months ahead. You can feel it, and it's good.

For any SoF doubters out there, this one is as convincing as they come. Everything comes together nicely, and there isn't a single downer on deck.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
