Fall Together- Brian Stevens
I don't know much about Brian Stevens. I received a promo in the mail way back when, saw that Dave Gregory of XTC played on the CD, so I listened to it. I no longer have the CD, but I must have loved this track, since I still have it in iTunes.

Chaos & Disorder- Prince
A customer asked me about this CD and it reminded me of how much I love the title track, especially the drumming.

I Lie Around- Paul McCartney & Wings
Digging in to the two new Macca reissues, this b-side really stood out.

Slow Motion- Blondie
Someone posted a few Debbie Harry pics on Facebook and a discussion took place about the band's best music. I vote for "Eat To The Beat" as their best LP and this track as the best song on the album.

I'm A Fool To Want You- Frank Sinatra
It was Frank's birthday and this was the first song that came to mind, which he co-wrote. Might be the only song he wrote/co-wrote. I have to look into that.

Fearless- Pink Floyd
I had this vision that this song would be a perfect segue from the Frank tune. I didn't take it for a test drive, so you tell me if it worked.

Hi Hi Hi- John Pizzarelli
Forgot all about this record. Not really a fan of Pizzarelli's style, though I did meet him once and he's a terrific guy. I kind of like this version.

Chaos & Disorder is a great track as are I Lie Around and Slow Motion. All songs that I haven't listened to since the last century

Thanks for zipping it all. I wouldn't have thought the Sinatra track transitioning into Floyd's "Fearless" would work, but it does! Forgot how much I used to love "Fearless", with the Liverpool soccer crowd singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the start and end, so had to drag "Meddle" off the shelves for a spin. Great stuff. Cheers!
