Notes
The Storm first appeared on the 'Home' Manchester compilation a couple of months before it was released as a single. That version for me remains the best version of the song with the more frantic LP version a close second.
The inner sleeve for the 12" contains an epic list of 'thanks' - Adge, Barry Aston, Baz Barrett, Sabahat Bashir, Andrew Berry, Cath Berry, Adam Best, Spencer Birtwistle, Len Bisham, Dave Booth, Shirley Brassington, Cliff Brigden, Paul Brotherton, Sue Buckley, Terry Christian, Sunny Day, Tony Deal, Wayne Dorrell, Neil Drabble, Simon Dudfield, Sam Durrant, Caroline Elleray, Mark Elleray, Stewart Every, Gillian Fielden, Lindsay Fricker, James Fry, Simon Green, Dani Griffiths, Tim Gudgeon, Martin Hannett, Dave Harding, Julie Hardy, Mike Hardy, Keith Hartley, Simon Head, Lorraine Heywood, Andy Hobson, Steve Horsfall, John Kennedy, Jackie Kenny, Gordon King, Ted Lee, Harvey Leonard, Maire McCarthy, Quentin McDonald, Ian McGregor, Gordon Mackay, Chris Mannis, Tony Michaeledes, Martin Mittler, Liam Mullan, Hugo Nicholson, Jackie O'Malley, Tony Ogden, John Pennington, Pincey, Raffs, Adi Reeves, Angela Reilley, Marc Riley, John Robb, Robbo, Adam Rockingham, Jon Ronson, Nick Sanderson, Richard Scott, M.C Shells, Pete Smith, Tina Some, Stella, Russell Stone, Mike Timoney, Ross Tynan, Voodoo Viv, Chris Whitehead, Reg Wood, Jose Wright, Martin Wright
The final line in The Storm - "I've left the cake out in the storm" - is a reference to Richard Harris' psychedelic Jimmy Webb penned late 60's No.1 record "Macarthur Park", in which Harris claimed that "Someone left the cake out in the rain".
She's Like a Rainbow was the first of three cover versions World of Twist released on record. The Rolling Stones original appears on the 1967's 'Their Satanic Majesties Request'. The World of Twist version is better.
