It was more of a marketing than a musical decision, some suit's confounding idea to commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Graduate. So, take a red fine-point Sharpie and write "(bonus track)" next to that song title, and pretend it's a curious rarity rather than the lame album closer it became. The song is more endearing as a lead-in to Rhino's unearthed bonus tracks, which sound like they've still got dust on them. Aside from the B-side "Shaky Ground", which doesn't need the full-band treatment to convey its slept-on melody, there are nine rough.

It's a Shame about Ray is the fifth album by The Lemonheads. Tom Morgan of Australian band Smudge helped author the album, while Juliana Hatfield played bass and sang backing vocals on some songs. After its initial release, the album was re-issued with a cover of Mrs. Robinson, originally by Simon & Garfunkel, which was released as a single. The song had been recorded after the other tracks, with a different bass player

It’s A Shame About Ray contained 12 tracks (the crappy ‘Mrs Robinson’ cover version was a marketing afterthought) and clocked in at 29 minutes and 46 seconds. That’s nigh on half-an-hour of utterly blissful guitar-pop perfection. It’s almost unnerving when a band unexpectedly hits an artistic high-point. Back then, there was a level of mistrust amongst Lemonheads non-believers. The album gave The Lemonheads their breakthrough moment. When it was released in June 1992, the world was hungry for alternative rock bands in the wake of Nirvana’s epoch-shifting success. The Lemonheads’ record label Atlantic wanted their pound of flesh and negotiated that the band re-record the Simon and Garfunkel track ‘Mrs Robinson’, to feature in the 25th anniversary release of The Graduate. The band cut the track in two hours in Germany and the record label tacked it to a re-released version of It’s A Shame About Ray.

LEMONHEADS Its A Shame About Ray (1992 German 13-track CD including the bonus recording Mrs. Robinson fold-out picture sleeve). American rock's very own boy-bimbo, Evan Dando, really wasn't happy with one particular part of this album: a rocking version of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson" (later to turn up on Wayne's World 2) which does, to be fair, seem a bit out of place on the best album the band have written. So let's ignore it and concentrate on the other twelve tracks of comparatively gentle (next to what other bands were up to at the.
