Covers Project Vol. 22

Don't need to say too much about this collection, except that the existence of these covers proves that some bands I'm a fan of are fans of bands I'm also a fan of. And that may be the most convoluted sentence I've ever written - but scroot, I'm leaving it intact.

Spoiler alert: this ain't no disco. Also not wholly 70s in origin.

Thank you for this!! Love these compilations as they have introduced me to a bunch of new bands. I just went back and downloaded the previous ones I was missing but it appears that the links for Vol 16 and 19 are no longer valid. If it is possible to re-post those, it would also be greatly appreciated!

I had this weird, arrogant belief that covers were never as good as originals, never listened to them, until....UHM. So, thanks!
