Description:

This is an International Swap. Minimum rating 4.5, no recent or unexplained no-sends. Please have at least one recent 5 rating for a mailed swap on your profile. If you don't have a rating yet, but want to join us, do a quick turnaround newbie swap now to get rated, and then sign up later.


As it says on my profile I love cover songs! FYI, a cover is a remake. An artist takes a song recorded/performed by someone else, and re-records it in their own style. For instance, anyone other than Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Pretty much any Christmas CD is all covers. Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman" [originally by Chaka Khan] or "I Will Always Love You" [originally by Dolly Parton] are covers. Any tribute album is full of covers: a Tribute to Carole King, Led Zepplin, The Carpenters... these are a few of the CDs I have.

I have lots of awesome covers, but in my recent CD trades on here, occassionally there will be a new one! It's such an awesome discovery! The song is all new to me, yet I can still sing along, yay! I am greeeeeeeedyyyyy, I want more and more and more.

You will have 3 partners [I said I am greedy] and you will send each partner a CD with 15-20 songs [as many as you can fit] that are cover versions. Even though I like the surprise of no track list [and I do that sometimes], this time I must insist. You should include the title of every song, the artist performing it and, if possible, the original artist [so your partner can go look for the original version, if they have not ever heard it].

If you like, you can make a separate list with the original artists' names, outside of the track list, as there might not be space.

Make sure you put your name and the name of the swap on the CD itself. Groovy cover art is a plus!

Also, if my partners want to send me a 2-CD set I will not take it amiss... greedygreedygreedygreedy LOL

Any questions, PM me! Thanks!

Oh, I am so sad I can't join this! My computer is too old and crochety to burn CDs!

(Do you have the Two Rooms tribute to Elton John album? It is full of AWESOME!)

Oh I bought that Elton John Tribute on cassette tape. I also have Common Thread: Songs of the Eagles on cassette tape.

I am hard-core, I tell you!!!

One of my recent CD swaps I got Sheryl Crowe doing "Sweet Child of Mine" (Guns and Roses) and I thought "That's IT! These people have covers I have never heard of and dangit, I want them!!!"

There are 18 people in this swap and I am only getting 3 CDs.... hmmm, I may have to do multiple rounds....

Ok...so I wasn't going to sign up for this, being that I'm a tad over booked on swaps. But - after hearing KrisLauren's CD (she works w/ me) I couldn't resist cause it made so many other great covers come to mind.

If someone can tell me how I can get a copy of Travis covering "Hit Me Baby One More Time" I will love you forever. And if you don't turn out to me one of my people, I'll send you a CD as a thank you. I remember listening to the song years ago and I've been searching for it ever since. Thanks!

I know it's not Elton John - but I do have Brent Spiner's "Old Yellow Eyes is Back" on cassette as well!

Damn, I really thought I had that Travis cover. I know I bought a Travis EP at some point to get a cover but maybe it wasn't that one.

I didn't realize how many "covers" I had in my collection!
