My Top 1000 Songs #725: You Can't Deliver

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.] 

I've had a few visits to the Rain Parade's catalog of 80s retro-psychedelic jangle-pop as we work through this list; this deep cut from The Things falls along the same lines. The band were loosely-affiliated with the Paisley Underground scene, mining similar jangly psych & garage band territory as the Rain Parade and the Three O'Clock, most successfully on 1986's terrific Outside My Window. Sadly, the band's work was never released on CD or streaming media, and is all but impossible to track down (though I noticed that their 1984 debut, the more garage-rocking Coloured Heaven, was recently reissued and can be found on Bandcamp--so maybe there's hope that Window will get the same treatment?). 

Hence, odds are you've never had a chance to enjoy "You Can't Deliver," the most deliberately trippy (yet still catchy) track on the record--backwards reverb, slithering guitars, odd interludes and all--so here you go!

As I said, it doesn't stream, but here's the track on YouTube (starting with the backwards prelude; the proper song starts about 0:45 into the clip):
