Another experiment in mixmaking. Heres a selection of favourite cover versions, highlighting bands of different generations and genres covering each other, sometimes with unexpected results. And somehow, it ended up with a fair amount of Elvis connected/ adjacent songs too. Anyway, its as raucous and as daft as you'd come to expect from me! I hope you enjoy it. (tracklist in comments)
