This is 58 versions of the Led Zeppelin classic "Stairway To Heaven".

The first 22 are from Australian TV show 'The Money or The Gun', where different performers gave a rendition of the song each week, in wildly varying formats. The 'bonus tracks' are 35 more covers and a BBC live recording of Led Zep themselves.

Performers and styles included:

1 Kate Ceberano and the Ministry of Fun, cool funk with woodwind
2 John Paul Young, in the style of "Love is in the Air"
3 Pardon Me Boys, in a swing style (with references to Glenn Miller songs)
4 Nick Barker and the Reptiles, in a heavy blues style 
5 Rolf Harris, in the style of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport".

9 Robyne Dunn in the style of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles
10 Elvis impersonator Neil Pepper, in the style of "Viva Las Vegas".
11 Rock Lobsters, a B-52s tribute band, in the style of "Rock Lobster"
12 Toys Went Berserk, post-punk UK pop rock
13 Jodie Gilles, as a Broadway musical number (with references to A Chorus Line)
14 The Beatnix, in the style of the Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You" and "Twist and Shout".
