Suicide's Dream Baby Dream is perfection- the organ, the slightly wasted vocals, the hissy drums, the whole narcotic vibe. It's also very attractive to cover, easy to play and a good groove to get locked into. Jez Kerr, front man and bassist for Manchester's A Certain Ratio has done a cover. Very nicely done indeed.

It's a catchy version of a song that I love for ages.
That's wonderful. Returns this classic back where it belongs after being perloined by Springsteen a few years back and turned into a dirge.
Perfection does sum up it nicely SA, everything about it is just spot on.
Unlikely as it may seem, Bruce Springsteen excellently covered the song in concert a number of times in 2005 and released a limited edition live 10" of a version. A smoother studio recording was issued on his last LP, 'High Hopes'.
I wrote a little post on Springsteen's versions a while back. http://unthoughtofthoughsomehow.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/version-city-21-bruce-springsteen-sings.html
Jez Kerr does a good job with it too.
