A great a-side and an intriguing b-side.

"Taken from the And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out album, the single for "You Can Have It All" features two mixes of the title track with a cover of the Bonzo Dog Band's "Ready-Mades".
The title track is a great pop piece, featuring a bouncing backing vocal, a chugging rhythm and a fantastic cello counter to Georgia Hubley's lead vocal. It's remix is something I could live without-- it adds extra layers of drumbeats and pulls Hubley's vocal straight out in front-- I'm happier with the original mix on this one. "Ready-Mades" is a fairly unusual performance, gentle vocals and swelling horns provide for an intriguing mix on the piece-- it's not indespensable, but it's awfully good.
Still, there's not enough on here to make it worth tracking down by all but the biggest diehard of the band."
