Another volume in the monger covers series. Two of the tunes here have appeared on previously posted mixes (Nikki Corvette's "Under My Wheels" and Brett Anderson's "California Sun"). A couple of notes: 1) the Heavy Metal Kids "Girl of My Dreams" isn't technically a cover, as Bram Tchaikovsky's version was a cover of an unreleased song by, yes, the Heavy Metal Kids 2) if you're familiar with the Troggs original version of "Wild Thing" then you'll understand why I threw their weirdo '75 reggae version of the song on this collection.

erm, where's volume II? :-)
Yes, that is Danny of the Wildhearts! Loved that first (only) Yo-Yos album. They put out an EP that was a bit of a mess afterwards though, so maybe they quit while the quittin' was good.
Wow - just discovered you blog. Amazing stuff. Could I possibly7 trouble you for a re-up of Vol I. II and III of the Covers. Thanks so much.
