John Davis (Superdrag, Lees of Memory) - The Sincerest Form Of Flattery (Choice Covers-1995-2014)

Here's a quick one (or at least a quick write-up anyway) before the eight night of Chanukah get underway.  In 2018 I posted a collection of covers (mostly Beatles) by a guy going under the alias of Johnny Flame.  That gentleman was actually John Davis of Superdrag and Lees of Memory renown. Not long ago he bundled some of these songs along with several other covers into a collection, The Sincerest Form Of Flattery available on Bandcamp. Unfortunately it was removed for some reason unbeknownst to me, but I was able to secure a download of it and pass it along to you. Among these 24 "choice" nuggets are not merely Beatles covers, but renditions of tunes by Big Star, Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Prince, Guided by Voices, and the Beach Boys along with a few others. In the folder you'll find which of Davis' assorted projects or aliases that each of the songs are credited to (usually Johnny Flame or his actual name). Some really intriguing takes here, and an absolute must if you're a Superdrag fan. Enjoy.
