Nice job all round folks

Cheers Straummy. Glad you liked it

Cool tune guys and gals! 
 
That's a flashback to my teen years for sure.
 
Good work. I kinda like the sparse take on this song.

When my wife and I were living in Toronto, I listened to CHUM radio and they gave airplay to this song every fifth song (or so it seemed).  I overdosed on this number back then and haven't heard it in a long time.  I forgot what a pleasant number this was.
I really like the laid back feel that you have given this number.  It sounds great and I too like the guitar work (including the bass) on this rendition.
Thanks for the memories.

Hey Freddy - thanks for sharing your memories - glad you like our version

I really liked your mix balance, each thing is dry and separate. And it's really a classic tune you are covering, great to hear all the things you did with your rendition. Background vocals were a definite win here.
 
That said, I wonder what microphone you used for the main vocal? I don't think it brings life into the vocal - which sounds very "effected"compared to the rest of your instruments.
 
Did you filter or eq the vocal? Or did the mic just limit the range it was capturing? Was it a dynamic sm-57 type deal? Maybe I'm used to hearing condensers on vocals. I think condensers give a little bit more air or something.
 
still, great job on a great song.
 
cheers,

Cheers Tom. Bapu sent me the vocal and I threw lotsa stuff at it. It's probably my fault if it sounds sort of separate.

You guys are something.  The chorus was great.  Maybe a tad much on the ambience on the lead vocal during the first verse...but sounded perfect later on.  Lots of separation (psydo stereo) happening to a minor degree.  BG vocals...great!  This stuff is hard to do...in a way..., but you all pulled it off.

What??!?!  This is what happens when you let bass players have too much power. 
 
Good job all around! 

Daryk gives me no power. I just take it.

Really really good! :)
