This mix from four years ago features two version of the standard "My Ideal": one by John Coltrane and one by Chet Baker. Also on here twice is "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N Roll Star": the original by The Byrds and a cover by Patti Smith.
The mix begins with the oddly touching "The Sun" where Ghostface Killah trades verses with fellow Wu-Tang members Raekown and RZA as well as Slick Rick with a great cameo.
Beatles-related: a great acoustic alternate version of "Nobody Knows When You're Down And Out" by John Lennon, Paul McCartney & Wings' epic "Band On The Run", and a cover of The Beatles' "The Weight" by Carmen McRae.
Other stuff: the sweet "When Will I See You Again" by The Three Degrees, the dramatic "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2, an alternate version of "Cities" by Talking Heads, Van Morrison's soulful "The Street Only Knew Your Name", the playful "Knockin' A Jug" by the Louis Armstrong Orchestra, the sly "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, Wanda Jackson's gritty "Funnel Of Love", Cyndi Lauper's suggestive "She Bop", an alternate mix of Ray Davies' "Thanksgiving Day", a live version of "Here Comes The Rain Again" by The Eurythmics and the hushed "Last Time We Spoke" by Eels.
