Two unrelated “Indian Summer” posts in a row. The original version of this song is off one of Beat Happening’s second album “Jamboree” which is also fantastic. This cover comes off of an early Luna EP which still has echoes of the fabulous Galaxy 500. You can also find a covers of “Ride Into the Sun” by the Velvet Underground, “That’s What You Always Say” originally by Steve Wynn and a demo of “Hey Sister” which is found on the Lunapark release. From the reviews that I read about this EP, it sounds like I agree with most people that this EP was one of Luna’s finest releases.
