Since Robbie Robertson died I've been listening to my CDs of The Band. Only got 3 of them (Big Pink, Northern Lights Southern Cross and Greatest Hits) and I'm not familiar with their full catalogue, but I really liked this outtake stuck on the end of Northern Lights Southern Cross as a bonus track.
It's a really stripped back early run through with just guitar, bass and drums. Love the bass sound on it.

So many versions I think this is the best from my favourite male voice. Yes the Andy Williams version is ALMOST easy listening perfection, BUT listening to it again reminds me that there's something not quite right about his vocal delivery of the chorus. He sings the chorus far too much on the beat which makes it sound quite wooden in my opinion. He really should have added more syncopation like on the Neil Sedaka and Carpenters versions Don't you think?

Distant low frequency traffic far away keeps me awake. The football game from the Women's World Champs between The Netherlands and Spain. Think this might be art.

I happily spend hours listening to Andy Williams, it was a real highlight finally getting to see him at the Bridgewater Hall some years back. He revealed that American farmers were playing his songs to their cattle as it was proven to increase milk yields. The consummate professional with the voice and the songs to match. I only play Peters and Lee to people I don't like

I only play Peters and Lee to people I don't like Can't Get Used To Losing You, Can't Take My Eyes Of You... great records, though my favourite Andy Williams record is probably Home Lovin' Man. I also quite liked his version of Something which I heard on the B side of Love Story. I couldn't resist listening to your Peters & Lee video and have to say it sounded a lot better than I expected!
