Tributes Vol. 14

TRIBUTES OR NOT TRIBUTES VOL. 14 (2020)
There are several ways of covering a classic tune, artists can be faithful to the original, they can slow it down, they can speed it up, well they can do what they wish as long the covers will be enjoyable. Of course, some people just don't like covers, but you have to remember that The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Ramones, Nick Lowe and quite of lot of famous bands made some great covers.

The first "Tributes or not Tributes" was released in 2006, Over the years, the collections were regularly posted on PPC. More than 600 covers have been shared on PPC. With this 14th volume of "Tributes or Not Tributes" (there's no vol. 13 beacuse volume 9 counts as two volumes). It is time to enjoy the roots of the music we love... and just like Johnny Ramone used to say:

"Go back and learn the history. Go back to the beginning of rock 'n'roll and listen to everything that went down".

Once again, it is available in lossy and lossless formats with the usual set of custom artwork, (even though, i know only a few will ever print the artwork), including full details of the bands involved. All the covers included here were lifted from lossless CD's, LP's, singles or digital downloads (even though a few ones seem to have been lossy mastered - audiochecker file added)
