    You should have named the mix “Jack Feerick.”

    How many of these songs came from self-titled albums? I believe “Talk Talk” did (and I hope you got this track from there, and not from a greatest hits compilation. Bonus points for albums released on self-titled labels (as, IIRC, “Talk Talk” was).

    For the next edition of this playlist, may I suggest Victor, Village People, and Funker Vogt?

    Album of origin is given in the mix itself, along with links to buy. All tracks are listed according to the album of original release. So: to answer your question, six and a half (depending on wheteher you count PiL’s first disc as an s/t, or if you refer to it as “First Edition).

    Great idea, but come on, what happened to “In A Big Country?”  Some other possibilities are “Mandrill”, “Blue Oyster Cult”, “My Name Is Prince”, “Devo Has Feelings Too” and “Who Are You?”  (OK, that last one’s a stretch).

    Iron Maiden’s first album (titled Iron Maiden) features the song Iron Maiden. I suppose you could include the Monkees theme in here too.

    Talk Talk’s titular song was initially released on a self-titled EP, followed shortly thereafter by the full-length The Party’s Over. AFAIK, that EP was never released on disc, but all four of its tracks were repeated on the album. I hate to disappoint you, but the band never had their own label; the releases in question were issued through EMI in the States.

    Big Country’s “(In a) Big Country” wasn’t obvious enough? Really? :-/
