Various Artists - Record Store Day 2012 4-Way Covers Split 7'' (Trouble in Mind, 2012)

Record Store Day 2012 4-Way Covers Split 7''
Trouble in Mind
2012

Rating: 7 crusty baguettes out of 10

The title kinda says it all, bu here are the details - Side A has Mikal Cronin covering The Banana Splits “I Enjoy Being A Boy” and Apache Dropout covering Harry Nilsson‘s “Cuddly Toy”; Side B has The Paperhead covering Tyrannosaurus Rex’s “Stacey Grove” and The Liminanas covering The Troggs “Come Now.”  Side A is particularly strong as it's always great to hear a new version of "Cuddly Toy."  I had never heard either of the Side B bands before, but these are both fine additions to the collection if not quite as strong as the first side - the Limianas have a great guitar sound though and I'll be interested in searching for more by them.  This might be hard to find as it was a pretty limited release, but worth a listen.
