Pete S Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 You know I collect reggae/rocksteday whatever, it's really amazing at some of the songs they did oin the 60's and early 70's, for instance this week I've had a female version of Compared To What and a 68 reggae version of Chuck Jackson's Good Things Come To Those Who Wait! Wouldn't have thought either of those was well known enough to cover. Also got Jamaican versions of things like Walking up a one way street, Left with a broken heart, See no evil speak no evil, Get ready, etc. Just thought I'd mention it.

I wasn't expecting a lot when I heard about this album (Bitty McLean Down On Bond Street) but when I found out they'd used 100% original 60's backing tracks I bought it and got a really pleasant suprise.
