White light white heat - velvet underground

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Ella Fitzgerald

I think the return and full refund would be enough legally but if I am not a lawyer! I agree as a gesture of good faith they should give you a credit note or knock a few £ off.

Depends on how you want to proceed with this. They are in clear breach of the trade descriptions act. They advertised it as 9/10 their mistakes are not your problem. That said they have offered a return and full refund so this would cover them of any liability if I understand this correctly.

My baby just cares for me - Nina Simone

Killing me softly- Roberta Flack

It’s not as if you need a physical device or a radio tuned to one of 3 channels or so to be exposed to it. Some similarities are unavoidable. I do find it a bit rich when some of the bands that have knowing plundered and exploited the blues musicians of the past go on a litigation spree though!

Rock and a hard place - sisters of mercy

Work is a four letter word - the smiths

Black magic woman - Green or Santana

Hells Bells -ac/dc

Timadrit in Sahara - Tinariwen

Fairy tale of New York - pogues

10.15 Saturday night- the cure

Swordfish trombones- Tom Waits

Moonchild - Fields of the Nephilim

Jangling Jack - nick cave

The Queen is dead - The Smiths

Warm beer and cold women - Tom waits

Streams of whiskey- pogues
