Tell the funeral man, I don't want powder on my face: "Haven't I Been a Fool" by The Go-Betweens · Jul 17, 05:35 AM by Don
The Go-Betweens’ “Surfing Magazines” single features five songs: the title track, which originates from The Friends of Rachel Worth; “German Farmhouse,” another song from Friends; and three live acoustic songs.
One is a “cover” of the Grant McLennan solo song, “Haven’t I Been a Fool.” The original is on Watershed.
Here’s an excerpt from Dave Nichols’ Go-Betweens biography about Watershed:
Between 1989 and 1991 McLennan had decided that he should make a determined attempt at the charts — a wish that appeared, incidentally, to necessitate wearing a baseball cap to project a more youthful image (and conceal a receding hairline). ... The album’s producer was Dave Dobbyn… Using Dobbyn as producer was an industry-friendly decision, and it produced worthy results: the album has a light, airy pop feel throughout. ... Watershed was not a huge success…”
