The Summer of C64!

I've decided to put together another totally free C64 chip tune album; as per the previous one, this is a collection of tunes from the HVSC that I've converted to MP3 and edited slightly.

The theme, as you can probably tell, is Summer; I picked the tunes by looking up some of the top Summer songs from various lists around the internets and threw in a few of my own favourites. It's quite a mixed bag and hopefully should be a lot of fun.

You can download the full album here:

Comments are welcome, thank you.
