Perhaps my favorite b-side of all-time – the flip of the 1979 single "Strange Town"... ironically when I first got the yellow vinyl I thought the haunting "Butterfly Collector" was the a-side! The beauty comes from lush minor chord picking and massive reverb and echo, the tragedy comes from the scathing dismissal of Weller's lyric. Guaranteed to give me chills.
