Dude, whatever you do, if you like "Flies on Sherbert", grab a copy of "Free Again: The 1970 Sessions". Absolutely KILLER. Some of my favourite Chilton stuff ever.

I've always been meaning to get it, is there a decent vinyl version?

Yep - the Omnivore version from 2012 (OVLP-13) is excellent. Black vinyl edition is this one: https://www.discogs.com/Alex-Chilton-Fr ... se/3889421

Been listenin' to this a lot lately:

… and, I feel like we've done this one before, but it's a great cover:

Sugar Sugar is the essence of Chilton's greatness! this amazing, i'm sitting here fucked up wth flu or a chest infection tbc i can hardly handle it! Totally reminds me of early Jon Spencer Blues Explosion too.

(Not that I think one version is better than the other. )
