Cover Versions and More Added

I was in the Splash FM car with the radio station's managing director Roy Stannard last week. He has a collection estimated at 10,000 CDs which - even by my standards - is obsessive. We were discussing this blog, and got talking about best cover versions. 'Satisfaction by Cat Power,' says I, 'and Robert Wyatt's take on I'm A Believer'. Both are now on the Shuffle.

I've added the Stones original version of Satisfaction, too; just on the off chance that they'll get shuffled together at some point (I also added The Last Time, while I was on a Stones trip). I may add the Devo version of Satisfaction, but I downloaded it recently and it's not the same version my dad used to play me on 7". I'll have to find that version - any suggestions?

Another three covers made it on; Arthur Brown's take on I Put A Spell On You, Hush by Kula Shaker and Billy Bragg's The Red Flag (to the original jaunty tune, not the German dirge).
