Always amazed by your compilations, S8. I find my self spending about an hour after looking at them sampling music and bands I've never heard of before - most of it very good, so thanks for that!

Hmm, I didn't see that I'd copied Zilzal with Oliver's Army.

I'm changing that to:

Oscar Wilde Gets Out - Elton John

I struggled most with "I", funnily enough. The character from The Man from UNCLE came into my head and then I remembered there was a ska/rocksteady song about him. Couldn't quite remember the name of the band - so did look that up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFYFj5q8_Qk Just for CT and anyone that hasn`t heard this song.

[CTMilller]

Thanks, for that, C64F. It never gets old for me.

Evan Dando writes really good songs; it's a shame he's let himself get so messed up with drugs over the years. The big time has passed him by. My oldest daughter is a real fan. She and I went to see him in San Diego about three years ago and he was pretty good if a little over-spaced. She's seen him several times, has met him and exchanges emails. Think he's cleaned up a fair bit but he turns 50 tomorrow so not the wild young thing any more...
