Well, Rich (and everybody else), there was a record made a few years ago
by a group called [I swear] The Circle Jerks, called [I swear again] Golden
Shower of Hits.  It was basically a punk/new wave/new music (what a dumb name!)
answer to those Stars on 45 collections, and included most of the songs Rich
mentioned above, along with lots of others (Afternoon Delight for instance).
