First of all, have a look at this page - seems OK to begin with, but read the Reviews, particularly the first Customer Review. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000070S1/qid=1040218609/sr=8 - -1/ref=sr_8_1/104-9616920-5052744?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Then look at the 'So you'd like to' and 'Listmania' sections further down. Bizarre. If you then follow link to reviewer "pope411 (see more about me) from Santa Barbara" it gets stranger and stranger. It almost looks like someone has hacked into Amazon and put on a lot of spoof materiel. There's tons of the stuff.

The Guardian found it, posted it, and Amazon took it down immediately. Sadly, I have actually heard a track off this CD - it's real! I was looking for the song Believe In Love (called Do You Believe In Love on his album) and found this rather run-of-the-mill cover. Sigh. Andrea.
