The Bobby Fuller Four "The Magic Touch" June 1966

Sadly, this was Bobby's last single to be released during his all too short life. This was also cut by Melba Moore in '66 but her version was not released until the mid-80's.

Lee Dorsey "Do Re Mi"

Been too busy to post lately. Listening to lots of Lee Dorsey though. Fuck "Northern" Soul. This is the real deal.

The Equals "I Get So Excited" live on French TV Early 1969

Shot on film. Amazing footage of this massively underrated group featuring a young Eddy Grant on lead guitar. These guys are way overdue for the reissue treatment.

Conexion nº 5 - I Get so Excited (EQUALS cover)

What a strange place to find a cover of one of my favorite groups, The Equals. An early 70's film called "El Extraño de Pelo Largo".

Jimmy Hughes "Neighbor Neighbor" 1966

I first heard Chants R&B garagey version 12 or 13 years ago. Here's the original. RULING!

Otis Redding Shout Bamalama original pressing 1962

This blew my mind. This is the 1st pressing that used a completely different take than all the later reissues. Enjoy.

Les Sultans "Je T'aime Bien" (You Make Me Feel Good)

Montreal's Les Sultans with possibly the best Zombies cover ever.

Mark Sultan "Song In Grey"

Arthur Alexander "You Don't Care"

Double A, all day. Why on Earth isn't this man famous???

Howard Tate "How Come My Bulldog Don't Bark"

This one has been getting a lot of playtime lately.

The Glass Menagerie "I Said Goodbye To Me" 1969

There's no doubt in my mind that Bowie heard this and basically used it as the template for his Ziggy era stuff.

The Music Machine "Masculine Intuition" 1966

A rare clip of MM on American Bandstand from 1966. This regularly gets taken down off Youtube. Enjoy while you can.
