35 songs, and certainly an eclectic mix of artists! The tracks in bold are the only ones I am familiar with - though I didn't know Gene Pitney did 24 Sycamore, I only knew the version by Wayne Fontana. Likewise the Bobbie Bare song - is this the same song as the Dylan one, popularised by Peter, Paul and Mary?the trip - created by jarvis cocker & steve mackey

Quite a few of those tracks are unfamiliar tracks by familiar artists. They did manage to select one of the Beach Boys' best songs - along with a wonderful misspelling of the band name.
Good to see a bit of respect for artists who have slipped out of the public eye, such as Sonny Bono and Lee Hazelwood (I think that's a misspelling also). I don't know "Cool Summer" though. What's the history of this song?
