Thanks! There is nothing like listening to a new take on a great song. I love the different interpretations.
GREAT mix! I love covers. Wow, I didn’t know the Stereophonics did Summertime. Cool!
Stereophonics do some of the best covers.
Actually, the Soft Cell version of Tainted Love is also a cover of a 1964 single by Gloria Jones.

And I love good cover tunes as well. Thanks for this one!
I stumbled onto your site by way of photogurrl’s blip page and…love the mix! I’ve wanted to do the cover mix myself but never would have come up some of the great ones you’ve got here. But I’d throw this one in the mix cause it’s just so much friggin fun, “The Lost Fingers – Pump up the Jam “.
