Darth Pazuzu (11-28-2010):
Here's the THIRD of a whole SLEW of mixes I've been churning out ever since I appropriated a stack of rare and/or out-of-print CD's, having had to wait almost THREE MONTHS to post anything new! I'm definitely in a very prolific mode right now... :)

"Train Kept A-Rollin'" / "Stroll On" - The Yardbirds actually recorded two different versions of the old blues chestnut "Train Kept A-Rollin'". The first was the more faithful rendition included on 1965's "Having A Rave Up." Michelangelo Antonioni was particularly keen on including the song in his movie "Blow Up" a year later, but there was apparently a problem with obtaining the rights for use in the film, so Keith Relf simply wrote another set of lyrics and the group simply changed the song title! BTW, this second version is one of the few recordings made of the Yardbirds with both Jeff Beck AND Jimmy Page on electric guitar! (And "Train Kept A-Rollin'" has been covered by many hard-rock acts since then, the most famous being Aerosmith, followed by Motorhead, Hanoi Rocks, etc....)

"Young Blood" (X 2) - A classic from the Coasters, covered by the Beatles (a BBC session, with George Harrison on lead vocal), and also by Bad Company!

"2000 Man" (X 2) - A jaunty little number from the psychedelic-era Rolling Stones with a futuristic sci-fi theme, later rocked-up by KISS (with Ace Frehley on lead vocal).

"Hope" / "White City Fighting" - A very interesting backstory here! David Gilmour was writing and recording his 1984 solo album "About Face," collaborating with Pete Townshend, who wrote the lyrics for the songs "Love On The Air" and "All Lovers Are Deranged." However, when Townshend wrote the lyrics to what became "White City Fighting," Gilmour felt that they were more personal and pertained more specifically to Townshend's life and felt he couldn't really do them justice. Townshend then of course went on to record the song for his 1985 album "White City: A Novel" (which also featured Gilmour's guitar playing on that song as well as "Give Blood"). In the meantime, however, Gilmour decided to let singer/songwriter Roy Harper have a go at the song. But then Gilmour couldn't really relate to what HE came up with either! Roy Harper then went on to record his version, now titled "Hope," for "Whatever Happened To Jugula?," his 1985 collaboration with Jimmy Page (who plays on THAT version)!

"The Battle Of Evermore" / "Going To California" - A pair of female-fronted cover versions of songs from Led Zeppelin's fourth album!

"The Devil's Screaming" - The closing number from Alvin Lee's 1978 album "Rocket Fuel," recorded with his short-lived outfit Ten Years Later. I swear, when my parents first played this record on their turntable, this seriously spooked the living daylights out of me! (I was about five at the time.) It's more or less a straightforward blues-rock number, but it goes on for almost ten minutes, and in the middle there's this thundering jam session which builds in noise and intensity and there are these weird, distorted backwards vocal chants that sound downright satanic!

"Song To The Siren" - A gorgeous cover of the Tim Buckley song from Robert Plant and his early-'00s outfit the Strange Sensation. It's even better than This Mortal Coil's...
