a moderate foo fighters fan, I heard the band's cover of "Baker Street" once, only once, on the radio a few years ago while living in Australia, and kept an eye out for it ever since. While looking for it, I bought a couple of the foo's albums, and have become a fan of their musicianship and energy.

For anyone growing up around a radio in the seventies and eighties "Baker Street" has become a part of your subconscious...admit it, you can hear that saxaphone solo now!

This single is worth it just for the cover

This mini-album contains the LP version of "My Hero" as well as 4 cover songs-"Requiem", "Drive Me Wild", "Down In The Park", and "Baker Street". Requiem and Drive Me Wild are a bit too repetitive to be enjoyable, but Down In the park and Baker Street are Foo classics. Following these 5 tracks are an acoustic "See You" as on The Colour and the Shape and a Dave Grohl solo acoustic "For All The Cows". This Ep is well worth the $16 and the wait for any die hard Foo Fan.

First of all, this is the single to one of the coolest Foo Fighters songs, "My Hero." Very catchy, excellent lyrics and one of their best videos, too. "Baker Street" is pretty good, but is best if you already liked the original. "Dear Lover" is decent, but would have been better to include on a full length album. The multimedia section contains a short clip of the "Monkeywrench" video (so-so) and the entire "Everlong" video (JOY!). There are also some pictures and lyrics. Is this worth the price? Well...I'd say 'yes' for a hardcore fan and 'no' for a casual listener.

(excuse me if you can`t understand this review because i`m mexican, and don`t know writte good english)This is the first EP that i have from the Foo Fighters, and i still getting happy hearing this EP,"My hero" one of my favorite songs is excellent,
"Requiem" is a good cover,always "drive me wild", "down in the park" is a fooantstic cover from gay numan`s,and "baker street" can you make cry, and the acoustic versions of "see you" and "for all the cows" are really amazing you must have to buy it!!

This EP is almost a LP. All the tracks are good. My Hero is a great song, no doubt about it. Requiem is a good cover but my least favorite track of the EP. Drive me Wild is an ok song too. Down in the Park is classic. This song is a great highlight on the EP. So is Baker Street. This song is my favorite Foo Fighter cover song so far. See you is a good song as well and I really like the live version of For all the Cows. Over all this is a great buy for a Foo Fighter fan whoever you are.

This CD's two other songs are 'Dear Lover' and a cover of 'Baker Street' originally by Gerry Rafferty. The CD also contains a multimedia secton with the 'Everlong' video, a 'Monkey Wrench' video clip, the words to 'My Hereo' and 'Everlong', and some concert pic's. All and all its a prety cool CD Single.

Great Service by both the seller and Amazon. The product came when they stated it would. The codition of the product was as the seller stated the CD's great but got it for one song, so kinda of a waste. the seller is FIVE STAR

I couldn't find Baker Street anywhere online, then I realized it was UK only release and I would have to buy the CD. Can't think of the last time I bought a physical CD. This one has some extra content that I would love to see, but it's in a crusty old format that my fancy computer won't open, so I'm still trying to get to that extra stuff.

I love this CD. Down in the Park is one of the best early songs I have heard from the Foo Fighters. Most people don't even know that this CD exists!! They are sooo missing out!

The Foo Fighters cover of 'Bakers Street' is well worth the investment alone.. here radio has played the heck out of the song and it is no where to be found. Foo Fighters Rock and this is a must for everyone's collection.
