The B side clinched it for me. We used to (about ten years after this came out) take our jam tapes and listen to a few of the songs backwards. It was a weird thing- the other musicians said I sounded closer to foward when played backward then anyone they'd heard. I think that was a compliment...

Citing their financial difficulties in a note, she and her companion of ten years, Anna Pécher, both committed suicide by an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol on 29 March 1985.[3][4][5] She was 51....Just ask me...

"The Singing Nun"

went to number one in the U.S. in 1963 and sold over 1.5 million
copies, winning a Grammy. She and a friend, Annie Pescher, later
founded a center for autistic children in Belgium. In the 1980s, the
Belgian government claimed that she owed back taxes of more than
$47,000 from her time as a recording artist; she claimed that the
money was given to the convent and therefore exempt from taxes. This
demand put the children's center in financial jeopardy, and in 1985
both she and Pescher took their lives with a combination of pills and
alcohol. At the time of her death, The Singing Nun was 52 years old.
Apparantly she was The Lesbian Singing Nun, not that there's anything wrong with it.
