VA - We Sang 'Em First [2CD Set] (2018) [CD Rip]

The names may not be familiar, but the songs on this compilation certainly are! Because these are the original versions of songs later made famous the world over. Rock & roll legends like the Beatles and Beach Boys, the Clash and Elvis Presley, would have first heard these songs as treasured 45rpm singles or LP tracks, played over and over on juke boxes and family gramophones. In some cases, the remake was a note for note cover; at other times, the original artist would struggle to recognize their own song! So when it comes to settling arguments about who did the original version, in future you can settle them by referring to the 40 tracks collected here.
