Thank you, guys! I tried to go for a balance of big hits and lesser-known novelties. A white person rapping was almost an automatic add. lol

There were so many other songs I could have used (Yazoo's "Don't Go" could easily slide in between "Confusion" and "AEIOU"), but this mix began years ago as a 90-minute cassette and was slowly getting out of hand so I decided to cap it at an even 40 songs. Sometimes you just have to walk away and let it be.

Edit: After really thinking about, I couldn't resist adding "Don't Go" after all so it's in there now along with a few more leftovers I had. This mix could forever be a work in progress, lol.

I still rank it in the bottom half of the Banshees' discography. But it's a good album!

The only songs for which I couldn't find mp3s of the 12" versions were "Get Off My Case" and "Club Underworld". I have those on vinyl, but my turntable is very old without any computer cable ports. The 12" version of "Get Off My Case" makes for a better transition between the songs before and after it too. Oh well.

This is the mix I wanted to use, but couldn't find anywhere:



I tried ripping an mp3 from the video, but the quality was crap.
