    Mid nineties. Been several years since I played them, and now I see why. They're ok, but I reckon I could take the tracks I like from each and just about make up one CD. There's a lot of rapping, which while more palatable than the aggressive misogyny the genre is more normally associated with, I find to be a bit distracting.

    The project drew plenty of positive reviews, but imo only worth a punt if the price is right.

    I prefer this, which I'm putting on next. This can be had from Music Magpie via Ebay for about £2.50. Worth it too imo.

    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Nice one Steve. I have it done by Jean Luc Ponty - with no, to my mind, annoying (c)rap lyrics.

    Bit of a confusing title this one.



    To me it reads like Jack White's covers of these songs. But I was pleased to find they are the original songs by the original artists. I'd guess they are a selection of Jack's favourite songs, no other reason for his fizzog to be on the cover. Quite a nice compilation, though not the kind of thing I'd normally play. If Grant was still about I'd probably be posting it to him.

    It does say 'The Original Versions of 15 Classic Songs Covered by Jack White'.

    Good collection of artists: I have recordings by the majority of them.
