"That's one I heard recently and it's still pretty great. It's quite a production. I like hearing that record – it's good. There's some I like hearing less, but that one I can still be very proud of, I think. I'll be judged by that one. I'm willing to be judged by that one."
— Peter Asher on You're No Good
