I am always on the lookout for the odd compilation sets of oldies. Last year, I found an imported set (8 cds) from the Netherlands that featured one hit wonders from Europe. On it were two songs I hadn’t heard in about 30 years:

“I’m Doin’ Fine Now” - New York City (1973)  
“LA International Airport” - Susan Raye (1971)

Anybody else stumble across old favorites?

When visiting Holland last Christmas, they were playing the best 2000 songs of all time on the radio. The one that struck me was the sweet **Faithful** by Marvin welch and Ferrar, which I had not heard in over 20 years.
