I love this track, its an essential for mix-tapes, but who's voice is this? I used to think it was Lee, but it really doesn't sound like him coming to think of it. Does anyone know?

That's a tough one, now that you mention it. I used to automatically think that anything of that spoken-word nature would have to feature Lee's output, because he's always been the most beatnikkish of the bunch; but now I'm wondering, having heard Steve's voice in various interviews.

No way, definately not Thurston's voice I'm afraid. I think the Steve suggestion sounds most likely, I never knew he was such a fine poet! |

█████████ is correct, it's Steve who recites Me & Jill.

You're all wrong. S.S. Beat Control contributes the reading of The Sigh's poem.
