Full circle!  Enoch Light's name came up on the Robyn Hitchcock list,
triggering my memory of a cassette compilation of just that kind of thing
that I acquired and loved a decade ago, which I then dug out and listened to
all day before checking out the Verlaine guest-DJ thing.

Those cassettes featured a bunch of Light (and Lite) stuff including his
positively mind-boggling version of "Scarborough Fair" which had some of the
sickest Moog sounds I've ever heard, some Sonic Youth-worthy death knell
guitar, and the cheesiest whitebread coed vocal group I have *ever* heard in
my life.  Some kind of genius for sure!
