I usually depise such albums but this look very good in my humble opinion.

Who else will be buying it?

..it sounds fantastic up to 1989 ...then for me it goes rapidly down hill...... lol sounds uncannily like my life...

[Ethel]

I have most of the original tracks, and really don't rate covers.

So no, I won't be buying it.

"Robbie Williams got 1970 and has recorded Lola by the Kinks."

I hate to pre-judge, but if that jumped up little waddling gobsh1te has ruined one of Sir Raymond Davies's greatest works, I shall personally disembowel him with a serrated plastic spoon.

One of the best albums I have ever owned was this

This looks a similar thing.

Sometimes I love covers...quite interested to hear the Twang and the Enemys cover.

[Goodsoulette]

but I have to say the thought of the Stereophonics covering Hot Chocolate and KEane touching Under Pressure sounds diabolical.

I am sure McFly's version of "Town Called Malice" will get purists in a spin, including Somerset fathers, but nonetheless I still like the overall theme of the album.
