Comment:

This is a 2 CD set, initially inspired by tookmyownname's excellent Palindrome mix. I have used the palindrome structure but added the twist of using artists covering each others songs. I've bent the rules in a couple of places, Chet Baker did not record the original My Funny Valentine, but Costello is on record as saying it was the inspiration for his version and Feel A Whole Lot Better is a Gene Clark Byrds song rather than a McGuinn song but I think these lapses are permissable.

You rock 'n' rule! Lovely mix. BTW, it appears you won the Pet Soundalikes mix (I can't figure out if Orchid's comment was her attempt at an answer), so if you e-mail me with your address, I'll ship off a copy.
