Comment:

Mix focuses almost entirely on the band's Reprise years. Tried to make it flow but there are some awkward transitions.

This is FANTASTIC! Personally, I would've added maybe "Harry Rag", "Shangri-la", "Lola" and the first cut from The Village Green album.


But those are just personal favorites :). I do think this is just a fantastic mix.

Is there a better song than "Till the End of the Day"?

The finest years of one of my favorite bands, points to you for including "Berkeley Mews". Regarding "Tired of Waiting for You", I wonder if The Ramones studied this one carefully? The "I was a lonely soul / I had nobody til I met you" section sounds very proto-Ramones to me.

Beautiful. I would have had to include "Do You Remember Walter" and "Mindless Child of Motherhood," but many tough choices must have been involved. This may inspire ME to give it a go, and I expect it will be hard to not overuse "Something Else" and VGPS.

Yes, all fantastic. My all-time fave band - see my mix, if you like. What an amazing band.

Great picks here. Death of a clown and well-respected man or two of my favourite 60s singles.
