Okay. This is a fine idea, like your Clash thing... however, I *must* have this. Please trade. I've been looking for that Merseys song for ages (i.e., at least four years).

I've always maintained that Bowie does one of the best jobs of covering the songs of other bands; his "twists" on the original tune usually kicks melodic ass. His next [delayed]album has some as well. Great job on this mix !

I love Bowie, but I do think that Iggy's version of "China Girl" is better.

Nice job alright. Pretty, uh, hunky dory... (lame, I know. Being around teenagers all day is obviously doing something to me)
