I just forgot "Portobello Belle" which puts you directly onto the buzzing streets of London, somehow like "Wild West End", with a romantic touch.

Funny that Portobello is also an area of Edinburgh so I always think of that first rather than the market in London!  It's a small Victorian seaside town.  Sean Connery used to work there before he was famous as a lifeguard at the now demolished Art Deco swimming baths.

Interesting fact, never knew that. So it works for me in a slightly other way. Do you mean, PB is about that area an Edinburgh?

Well Mark has alluded to the fact he wrote it about Portobello market in London but, of course living about 25 miles from Portobello, Edinburgh I automatically think of that one first!

Love Over Gold.  I gave the album a listen lately, which I don't do very often being a bootleg man, and the studio versions are just awesome.  They sound like live versions on that album.  Love it!

The title track was never played nearly that well on tour.

+10000 :thumbsup

Posting that prompted me to listen to LOG (the song) again!  The play-out really is a beautifully orchestrated piece of music.  When played live I didn't really care for it at all.  Opportunity missed. :-\
LoG is one of the best songs ever recorded IMHO. I agree on the live versions vs studio, I think it starts out nice and all, but why didn't they play an extra long outro live like they did on many other songs? LoG followed by INR work really well on the album too, they really compliment eachother somehow :)
