Here's Holly & the Italians cover of "Chapel of Love", originally a b-side but appeared on the now hard to find "Holly Beth Vincent" CD reissue.

http://download.yousendit.com/5382670C03ECB979

There are some poor sounding copies on the P2Ps. This isn't one of them.

milkbone,
thanks much for posting that Jags cover of "Here Comes My Baby"; that's one of my favourite oldies. Didn't know that Cat Stevens wrote it!

I was wondering if anyone can repost "Eve of Destruction" by The Red Rockers. It's sort of why I joined here. I can't seem to find that soing anywhere. I remeber it being by far the best version of that song.

Thanks.

this isn't EXACTLY new wave, but still a very good cover/remake I'd say-
