Being Human Series Four: The Mix CD

UPDATE: We've now created a Spotify playlist of these tracks (all except the Wretch 32 track, which isn't available on Spotify - bah!).

One of the many things we love about Being Human are the songs featured in the show, selected by music supervisor Ross Sellwood. Sadly, you can't buy 'em all on an album, so we thought we'd piece together all the information you need to burn your own series four compilation.

Here's the track listing (with notes below on where exactly the songs featured in the show). In each instance, click on the link to go to the iTunes preview page for an album containing the track (sorry overseas folks – these are all links to the UK iTunes).

Most of the tracks cost 79p each to download, with a few priced at 99p. Of course, you don't have to download 'em all – we just thought we'd give you as many options as possible!
