The artists on this compilation are believers of that lesser known maxim "If at first you DO succeed, may as well try again." Each of these songs represents an attempt at a shameless cash-in on a formula that, well, worked once. Most were an artist's immediate follow-up to a chart hit while others were later stabs at jumpstarting stalled careers. Either way, send in the clones.trax:
1. Like Columbus Did - THE REFLECTIONS 2. Lost In My World - THE OUTSIDERS 3. I Make a Fool Of Myself - FRANKIE VALLI 4. Why Do Kids Grow Up - RANDY & THE RAINBOWS 5. Daylight Savings Time - KEITH 6.

"CLONES" Shameless Cash-In Follow-Ups - Vol 2
Welcome to Volume 2 of Clones! As before, each of the songs here represents an attempt at a shameless cash-in on a formula that, uh, worked once. Most were an artist's immediate follow-up to a chart hit while others were later stabs at jumpstarting stalled careers. And if these artists can so unabashedly try to replicate an idea that worked once, I don’t see why I, your shameless compiler, couldn’t do the same by creating a second volume. In both cases, send in the clones.trax:
1. Tear Drop City - The Monkees 2. Hey Little Girl - Del Shannon 3. She Said She Wants To Dance - Bobby Freeman 4. Arizona Sun - The Rivieras 5. Get Him - The Exciters 6. Can't Stop Her From Dancing - Billy Bland 7. Black Veils Of Melancholy - Status Quo 8. School Is In - Gary "US" Bonds 9. M'Lady - Sly & The Family Stone 10. Hurry Home To Me (Soldier Boy) - The Shirelles 11. She Drives Me Out Of My Mind - The Swingin' Medallions 12. Museum - Donovan 13. I'm Tossin' and Turnin' Again - Bobby Lewis 14. A Thousand Shadows - The Seeds 15. How Does That Grab You, Darlin' - Nancy Sinatra 16. Gyp, The Cat - Bobby Darin 17. Goodbye Kansas City - Wilbert Harrison 18. She's Still Talking Baby Talk - Jan & Dean 19. I Won't Plead No More - James Brown 20. Surf & Shout - The Isley Brothers 21. You Better Come Home - The Isley Brothers 22. Should I - The String-A-Longs 23. Don't Ever Let Me Go - The Kinks 24. Brooklyn Bridge - Bobby Bare 25. Monster's Holiday - Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt Kickers

Shamelessly ear- and eye-opening compilation of marriage swindlers on their own account: thank you, Gyro (and Mark R. in the first place)! The Chairman
We used to call these "rip-offs" now they are clones. But a great man once said "the music is in the grooves". I'll give em a listen.
Thanks
Thanks for send in the clones someone will buy it. But some tracks are not that bad it all helps with a discography.Still appreciated by me
Great share! Thank you.

Terrific stuff.
Thank you,
Way cool...know I had (and shared) Volume 1, but didn't know there was a second...thanks RYP
Thanks a lot
@ Ira Seigal:
There is a third volume that is 95% complete. Watch this space.
Thanks for the heads-up Mark R...certainly looking forward to it...quite a few sides on these are actually better than the originals
Thanks for these!
