They could have added as bonus tracks the other songs from the Polydor era. Everything fits on one single CD, I think:

Keep Your Hands Off My Baby
I Don’t Need You
There’s a Guy Works Down the Truck Stop Swears He’s Elvis
Over You
You Still Believe in Me
Queen of the High Teas

Why not donate monthly?

You don’t get any additional site content, you just get to feel good about yourself :o) We would offer a smaller amount but it would just disappear in paypal fees.
