**marmite7** · August 20th, 2005, 01:44 AM

"I know you said 22 tracks but I could edit them down! (I keep thinking of glaring omissions I've made"

And now you can understand why I've ended up with 11 bloody disks!!!!! ;)

I'd finish one CD, then another flippin song would pop in me head! Argggh

Actually I'm surprised you have so much disco included. If you really put your head into gear, I'm sure you'd have come up with more non-disco tracks.

Love The Stones - The Last Time btw.

I've got the Chaz Jankel LP featuring 'Boy'. It sounds like a gay lovesong, is it? I didn't think he was gay but it would be good if he was as he's quite cute n'est pas?

**marmite7** · August 26th, 2005, 11:49 PM

Neil - Depeche Mode track was a single release! The 12" is excellent.

**Energyguy** · August 27th, 2005, 04:42 AM

I love that Stevie Nicks track it is so beautiful :D I love the entire album. I remember that other track she released in 1985 "I cant wait" - The 12" mix is a great dance number !!

Why yes, it was. And there are actually some nice Electro-styled dance mixes of the Marilyn Manson version by Felix Da Housecat.

**marmite7** · August 31st, 2005, 11:51 AM

Wahoo - Shenkin & Straight Acting :)

More with a wide eclectic taste :P

Love The Carpenters & that Bread track. (I've got the Best of Bread & David Gates on CD and there's a couple of tracks which still bring a tear to me eye)

Happy Together - The Jam? Don't know that one and I'm a BIG Jam fan. I know the Turtles song by the same name (ruined by Jason Donovan), but not The Jam.

Buzzcocks? sweet ;)

Judy Collins? akin to Joni Mitchell and covered nicely by Viola Wills.

AND a Major Lance track! The boy has style :D

And anyone who can include Yazoo, Visage & The Eurythmics on their D.I.D is fine by me ;)

Next step guys? Pull the tracks together and MAKE that CD.

**straight acting** · August 31st, 2005, 02:42 PM

Happy together was on " The Gift" which was the final Jam studio album. I loved that album at the time, although listening back I probably prefer Setting Sons or Sound Affects
