Hey,
Here's a download link to a folder full of tagged, labeled mp3's of the set. These will import into iTunes (File > Add Folder To Library) and show in there, or on your iPod, iPhone etc., as a compilation. With the exception of the Neil Young track these are the same versions as in the YouTube links which James posted yesterday. The Neil Young track here is the studio recording, as opposed to a live recording. I reckon we should stick to this studio version.
The Who track is the same as the YouTube link - the 7" single version. This is important to note, as the album version (which most people have) is more than a minute longer, and quite different.
These mp3's are the versions I am going to learn. As some of you know, my way of learning songs is to break them up into sections - verse, chorus, bridge etc. - count the bars in each section and then make a grid for each song in Excel so I can count while I play. Not very rock & roll I guess, but my fried brain cells and my foul mouth are extremely rock & roll, so it all evens out.
If any of you who's looking after our version of one of these songs needs to make a cut to the song, then let me know and I'll cut the mp3 so it matches and re-upload the album.

Richie, for Shook Me can you compare the original to the backing track that I uploaded to make sure they are the same length. I'm using the backing track to learn from and I keep thinking it’s a bar or 2 shorter than this version. I can't learn songs when someone else in warbling in the background as well ... I'm a Diva!

A little down the track I will upload a version with me singing to the backing track and guitar will be added as well, so you get the full picture.
CheersS
Sandra-
Your mp3 has a longer intro (where just the hi-hat plays?) before the drums come in, but there's no singing on that anyway.
The original has an 8 bar guitar opening then 8 bars of guitar/drums before the first verse starts. Your mp3's drums start at the same place as the original's drums, and then it follows the original through the two verses and choruses, and even the extra two bars after the second chorus and the double-whammy 16 bar guitar solo, so you're cool.
Bar for bar, apart from the intro the only difference between the two is that the original has a 21 bar chorus at the end, and yours has a 17 bar chorus. No big deal.
