The Australian electronic music duo HTRK recorded this eerie, oddly romantic cover of Suicide's "Sweetheart" a few years ago with late band member Sean Stewart, but it's only now coming out as the B-side of a 12-inch single for their own song "Eat Yr Heart." "Sean decided on 'Sweetheart,' he worked out an approach," singer Jonnine Standish told Rolling Stone. "We got together in London, dropped a little 2C-B and did it one take." You can stream the track above, or download it here.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
