i got a ton of trojan records comps from a friend that i'm still going through. here's another good one:

the gaylettes "yester-me, yester-you, yesterday"

also finished going through my elvis albums over the weekend to see what gems i could find. elvis was pretty much ruined by the imitators, but you can't forget that he's the guy the beatles and led zeppelin looked up to.

lady sovereign had so much promise. the year her album came out (was it 2006?) it was my number one most anticipated album, but after hearing a few of the album tracks that hadn't already been released as singles, i didn't even bother to download it, let alone buy it. here's why i was so excited:

lady sovereign "feline mix" - recorded live on the air. it takes a few minutes to get into the body of it, so be patient.

i was looking for a song to go in a scene in the show i'm on and in the process got hooked on the badfinger song.

badfinger "where do we go from here"

also came across this great cover of fred neil's "everbody's talkin'" on a trojan records comp.

elvis presley's recording of blue moon may be the spookiest record ever made. i don't know how it hasn't ended up the theme for some legendary movie slasher. this is why i always wanted to music supervise on a horror movie. what lame ass movie executive decided that every scary movie had to feature rob zombie start to finish?

mud also does a great, more upbeat version that i'm sure you could fit nicely into the same film once you establish the creepiness of elvis'.

lambchop "i'm a strager here" apparently the lyrics to this are from an old folk song, but the opening line has appeared in various forms, mostly as a blues opener, and altered as a line in dylan's "subterranean homesick blues". the opening line was actually what came to mind and made me want to post it.
