Paul Anka - Rock Swings

Just chillin before work. Not played this album for ages but it's going to get plenty of plays this week I think. Basically it all comes off because the originals are so good. Really like the low key version of It's a Sin.

The music & indeed the cover seem to fit with the Dyatlov incident story really well.
