per Bones,

"Barest Degree is a strange one. The verses and chorus are Pete and I singing at the same time duet style, we swap high and low lines as the song goes thru its paces, very strange approach but it worked. That song was just a bastard, it never should have been. It was born by accident, the music is mine and the words and melody are Robs. We were working on one of Robs tracks and some how on the tape there was the instrumental track of mine we had tried out. Malcolm the producer suggested we should use Robs idea over my track and so we did. I think Rob hated it but was out numbered in the process. On the actual recording Jim is playing bass and I play acoustic. We never attempted too play it live it was just a no go zone."

"verse - pete sings high, I sing low.
Chorus -I sing high, pete sings low.."
