I haven't heard this version of Riding the Waves yet, but I'm sort of a completionist, and I'd love to see how it evolved you know? :)
There is an excellent one on a live (recorded in Brighton and Northampton in 1989) called "Star for a Week" (CD. Strangely, I have not seen it in the official discography, on this website :unsure: ).
There is another version, more acoustic but with a lot of life in it, on Poetic Justice.

Super stoked to add both to my collection! Then I just need to get my grimy paws on Poetic Justice....
You won't be desapointed Ali.
99% of the songs of this album are top quality. I specially like The Last Time I Saw You ; very slow but very powerfull, you will love it for sure ;)
Let us know when your grimy paws will have found it and then we could compare the different sensations it brings.
