The February issue of Uncut (2014) has three pages on the making of Robert Wyatt´s version of the Neil Diamond penned song (and Monkees hit) "I´m a believer" (Virgin 1974).
Key players: Robert Wyatt (voc), Nick Mason (drums, production), Fred Frith (guitar, violin), Dave MacRae (piano) and Richard Sinclair (bass).
"It hit No 29, did it? I´m too posh to think about charts...It´s not the chart side of music that interests me, it´s the music itself and what it means to people" (Robert Wyatt).
