Annotation

WARNING: This release is a mess. The boxset is all cover versions, but the tracks here have been mostly linked to original recordings. This is therefore wrong and leading to a mess that needs cleaning up.

These recordings are all [unknown] and actually artists like the Countdown Singers.

(See Amazon reviews and other sources to confirm this)
