I was 14 when I first heard the Lemonheads version of "Luka". Since I lived in Upstate NY and did not know any good record shops, I ended up buying "It's a Shame about Ray" at the old Camelot Music and loved all 30 some odd minutes of it. My favorite song was initially the rockin' cover of "Mrs. Robinson", but I eventually fell in love with "Rudderless" and the title track. Listen to this excellent acoustic version of Evan playing "It's a Shame about Ray" on April 16, 1993.
