One thing I think seems to have been a running thread for a lot of Linda's career is that she feels she could have done everything better. Even with all the success she's had, she always strives for that thing called Perfection.
It is well known, though, that Linda really didn't care much for the baroque folk-rock arrangement on "Different Drum"; she and the Stone Poneys were aiming for a version much like the first rendition of that song by the folk/bluegrass group The Greenbriar Boys in 1965. But then again, Linda was only a neophyte in 1967 when she did the song, and really wasn't in any position to argue. She also thought she "slaughtered" "Long Long Time" too when she recorded that song on a cold January morning in Nashville in 1970.
The other thing to remember is that Linda has never liked the sound of her own voice very much, even though a lot of her fellow female thespians would do everything short of homicide to have a voice like hers. Such is Linda's lot in life, I guess.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think she has said that she is more proud of her Standards and Mexican song era than the songs that made her a star. I am opposite of that statement, although I do admire that she did those way before other artists did them (singing standards that is).
