Sim's Summer CD - vote and win!

We've made the ULTIMATE summer compilation!

And we want to give it to YOU!!

Summer CD cover

Remember mix tapes? Those precious cassettes you'd spend hours compiling to give to a mate, a girlfriend or boyfriend, or just to take on holiday because foreign radio is, let's face it, a bit weird. Well, we did it again, 2008 stylee.

We asked for your suggestions for the perfect summer sounds, and from that list we ran on-air and on-line listeners votes to decide on the final dozen tracks. The result is the Sim's Show Summer CD - the ULTIMATE summer songs chosen by YOU, the BFBS listener!

Check out the final track list below. And listen on Monday when we'll pick a winner of the album and play it ALL on air!

You can download it for yourself HERE.

If you don't have iTunes it'll ask you to download it first (but it's free) - and one more note - ignore that the first track is listed as being by 'Go'. It's by 'Len' but iTunes have it listed incorrectly and we can't edit their listing!

Here's the album - done and dusted!
