I like these songs and wish I had a better quality recording of "Only When I Feel" so I could listen to it more regularly. If forced to select which I thought were Jim's weaker songs I would choose from some of Rhinegold and other early musicals that he still wrote whilst perfecting his art. They do contain some good songs, but later on when he was working professionally the mechanisms were in place to ensure a song only got to the recording stage if it was of sufficient quality.

Peace,
Will
