"He Come Down" (Jardine/Wilson/Love)
From "Carl & The Passions - So Tough"(1972)
The pitch on the original LP is "in the cracks"
between B and Bb like MARCELLA. New remixes
of both songs restore their original speed/pitch,
suggesting both were recorded in B (as was clear
for MARCELLA from live versions, e.g.IN CONCERT).
The lyrics are beyond ridiculous, but chorus is infectious,
and the vocal arrangement is pure Brian.
