A Tribute to the Classics



As many of you know, I also have a mixcloud page where all the mixes that have appeared on this blog I have posted there too. Many mixcloud mixes though, have not featured on this blog, so I will start creating some of those for here. First will be my two (so far) tributes to the "classics", which feature cover versions of songs which I consider to be superior or equal to the original. I'm sure many will disagree with my choices! So, here's the first volume:

01. Bauhaus - Third Uncle (5:09)
02. Melt-Banana - Uncontrollable Urge (2:56)
03. Rowland S. Howard - White Wedding (2:53)
04. The Arbors - Like a Rolling Stone(3:35)
05. Dana Gillespie - Andy Warhol (2:34)
06. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Day Tripper (2:40)
07. The Groove Farm - Red Dress (3:26)
08. The Lee Harvey Oswald Band - Boss Hoss (2:15)
09. 16 Horsepower - Heart and Soul (6:26)
10. Terry Edwards - New Rose (2:49)
11. The Ballroom - Baby, Please Don't Go (3:06)
12. Magazine - I Love You, You Big Dummy (3:44)
13. My Bloody Valentine - Map Ref 41°N 93°W (4:09)
14. Bongwater - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine (3:58)
15. Silver Apples - Mustang Sally (3:14)
16. Drinking Electricity - Shaking All Over (3:06)
17. The Damned - Looking at You (5:06)
18. The Better Beatles - Baby You're a Rich Man (2:39)
