Of course, since they went 26 years between albums before that, this four-year gap isn’t bad, but I’m glad to have them back. The single consists of an original number backed with a 1982-vintage live version of a John Lennon cover, and in what was likely a dream come true for the guys, it was mastered at Abbey Road. Here’s the A-side:
