I've always had a thing about cover versions. Not in the Wedding Party Band sense, but in the way in which covers show that rock music is, at it's pure unadulterated heart, essentially about fandom, populism and the do it yourself ethos.
In putting together this compilation my aim was to include songs of quality covered by decent artists with a degree of originality.

This has been knocked together from many sources, so the bitrate is variable (fact)- the music is good (opinion).
ALAS! for the time being , at least, the link is dead and I never kept the songs all in one file...
