    Labels were applied on the wrong side on my copy. Cool covers tho.
    The famous Van Halen solo from Beat It on the sax (I think) is a highlight for me.

      A very pleasant, and upbeat, horn-heavy cover of “Beat It” (originally by Michael Jackson). And on the other side, you will find “Thriller” (also originally by Michael Jackson, in case you didn’t know). I think the King of Pop would give his blessing to these two new versions. In fact I can actually imagine him now up there in the kingdom of heaven, smiling down on all who are playing this record, blessing us with his eternal love, whilst occasionally intoning a sanctified “chamone” with so much praiseful dignity!!
