Thanks catpuss! From when I first started listening to Amy, it was these songs plus a few others that really attacted me. That's not to downgrade her better known songs, but these lesser known songs really give me a sense of how special she was. I've always felt that these gems are WAY under appreciated. I would add "What It Is" and few others to the list, but it's refreshing to see an an article like this from Rolling Stone.

It's a nice article, but they sure didn't do their homework before posting it ...

"Long Day", they say was penned following the release of Frank, when Amy and Mick Lister actually worked on the lyrics on 9/11 (in September 2001) and Amy went back and recorded it with him a week later. The same with "Procrastination", they say she wrote that after the release of Frank, when she actually worked on that a few weeks after "Long Day", in the later part of September 2001 with Daren Carrington (AKA Major). They also say that "Detachment" was recorded in 2006 and that was Frank era too.
