  This Wheel's On Fire Advert - Click Here For Bigger ScanCovering this old Bob Dylan song makes Siouxsie sound like she's got two left feet.  Dylan probably likes it no more than Lennon probably did when he heard the Banshees' version of 'Helter Skelter' on their debut album.

It's got a catchy hook line and lyrically is in keeping with Banshees tradition but it's a clumsy cover that doesn't deserve to reap the rewards of chart success that 'Dear Prudence' managed to do so well.

  An intro apparently culled wholesale from a Torvill & Dean ice spectacular apart, the Banshees manage to add nothing to the Dylan song, later rendered psychedelic by Brian Auger, while subtracting a good deal.  In fact all that they've done is to Siouxsify it, crystal cascades a little worn with age, portentous intonations across the water.  Just imagine what this would probably sound like, and save yourself the expense of buying a copy.  Had they chosen to do a version of "My Old Man's A Dustman", it would have been pretty much of the same ilk, lots of wowowowowowowows, and abandoned echo chambers.  The Banshees touch has set in, from here on, everything they lay their hands on shall turn to mediocre pomp rock.  Silly old punkies.
