Thanks for the offer werner. I managed to find the Pleasure Beach version bundled with 49 other versions of “Teen Spirit.” I haven’t listened to them all yet, but I sense a theme coming on…

S.J. I agree that the story behind “I Wanna Be Your Man” is interesting. Mainly because of the existential question it raises. The song was written by Lennon and McCartney but recorded first by the Stones. So did the Beatles cover their own song? Discuss.

While MIsirlou is an old Greek song, Dick Dale’s version is entitled “Miserlou” (with an e). Since that’s how the Korla Pandit song is entitled I attributed the original to Dick Dale.
