This Is Comp: The Wrecking Crew! Disc 1, Tracks 1-6

This Is Comp is back! We're reviving our compilation series with a great one: The Wrecking Crew!, released in 2015 as a soundtrack to the excellent documentary film of the same name. The songs on this comp cover a huge range of genre and quality, but the session musicians are always top-notch. From weird crossover country to Mexican folk to one of the finest pop songs ever recorded, we had a ton of fun with this first batch of songs and we're thrilled to be back. Cohosts: Ben Marlin, Amanda Rodgers, Sean RodgersSongs: The Ronettes - Be My BabyThe Moments - Walk Right InGary Lewis and the Playboys - This Diamond RingJewel Akens - The Birds and the BeesRitchie Valens - La BambaShelley Fabares - Johnny AngelThe "Be My Baby" montage:   Daryl Hall & John Oates - The Last TimeBat for Lashes - What's a Girl to Do?The Afghan Whigs - AlgiersThe Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like HoneyClinic - I.P.C.
