Notes:

Source update to follow. The song Kiss Me Quick as released on the CD 'Kiss Me Quick Little Sister'(KMQ 1061) still is plagued by the same kind of destructive gating/compression as the first volumes of the 'There's Always Me' series. On the other hand, the song Little Sister is well preserved on the same CD. (With the 'Alt. Golden Hits 3' CD on the market the same kind of tampering on that song might not go unnoticed.)

Thanks to Wolfgang Pesch for the Little Sister additions.
