A different version - I like this one.

Well I just learned today (been on a NY buying spree) that "White Line" on 'Ragged Glory' (1990) features on the retro CD 'Homegrown' (2020), the latter recorded 1974/5.

 

So this is a "Cover" Neil did of himself (least that's the way I see it!)

13th Floor Elevators - covering the Kinks "You Really Got Me" recorded live in 1968.

 

"A special aspect of the Elevators' sound came from Tommy Hall's innovative electric jug. The jug, a crock-jug with a microphone held up to it while it was being blown, sounded somewhat like a cross between a mini-moog and cuica drum. In contrast to traditional musical jug technique, Hall did not blow into the jug to produce a tuba-like sound. Instead, he vocalized musical runs into the mouth of the jug, using the jug to create echo and distortion of his voice."
