Cope's "I Have Always Been Here Before" is ostensibly a cover of Erickson's tune, though he slips in a bit of the Spades' "We Sell Soul" as additional tribute.
Meanwhile, Spacemen 3 cover "We Sell Soul", but add a little "Don't Fall Down".
The Elevators "Don't Fall Down" is a rewritten version of the Spade's "We Sell Soul" (and of course featuring Roky on vocals in both).
Here's a mapping of sorts:

Anyone else have anything like this? I am fascinated by covers, and especially versions like these which veer away from being utterly faithful. Seems like the closest thing we have in modern pop music to traditional folk as it operated... see also traditional American bluegrass often being inspired by Scotish/Irish/British ballads.
