About a year ago I posted Chisel doing a cover of The Cure’s “Six Different Ways.” Just last week I got an e-mail from someone who wanted me to post the Edsel cover from the same compilation. Both songs were released on the “Give Me The Cure” benefit cd on Radiopaque Records in 1995 and has been long out of print. The cd featured eighteen Washington D.C. bands doing The Cure covers, with varying degrees of success, in order to help AIDS research.

I just picked up this cd a couple weeks ago. Very interesting, indeed. Definitely worth seeking out. Lots of great (and some not-so-great) dc bands. Nice choice.
