Hello everyone,
Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! You know what else was memorable? The first round of Summer Psychosis 2! Here's the preview for Part One and Part Two. The preview for the second round, as you can see, is a little late. But better late than never, as I not only show the matchups for the upcoming week of voting, but also as many recording and personnel credits I could find. There are some holes (Who drummed on Oh, Pretty Woman!?!), yet there some interesting tidbits such as Cher doing backup vocals for "Be My Baby" and Rick Wakeman playing on "Space Oddity." Hope you enjoy, and get ready for the results on Friday!
