- They've got a best-of album, it's called "The Singles", and it includes,
- among other songs, the cover of "I Got You Babe". I don't have a track
- listing handy, but most of their hits are on there. Mail me if you want
- the track listing.

- (btw, I think their last good album was "Get Close". I didn't pay it
- much attention at first, but after I listened to it a while, I realized
- how terrific an album it is. Perhaps the results of this experiment are
- reproducible.)
