International Submarine Band Sum Up Broke & One Day Week

Great double sided 45 I searched forever for. I picked this up the same day I found the Born In Chicago 45 from the Blue Beats. I don't know why Columbia never released more as this is brilliant.

International Submarine Band- Sum Up Broke

Nice Soul rarity.  And it is not too late to get your want lists in for next week's Request Week

Dan Penn - I Need Some One

Bo Gentry & Ritchie Cordell - Love Is Here

 These guys had hit singles with Tommy James but could not come up with one of their own. Shame as this is a nice little slice of popsike bubblegum. I picked this up at a Goodwill in Colorado Springs for a dime about 7 years ago. Ah, those were the days!

Bo Gentry & Ritchie Cordell - Love Is Here

The Grads - The WIld One

A little hot rod Monday with the Grads. Another in a long line of Gary Usher Roger Christian songs.

The Grads- The Wild One

Power - Children Ask (If He Is Dead)

A nice psych gospel 45.

Power - Children Ask (If He Is Dead)

Yellow Payges - Jezebel

Early 45 from the Yellow Payges before they were on Uni. They never made a big splash but they put out some fine 45's and 1 LP.

Yellow Payges - Jezebel

Royalettes - It's A Big Mistake

Love the girl groups.

 

Royalettes - It's A Big Mistake

The Koala - Don't You Know What I Mean

Nice promo on Capitol from 1968 I believe

The Koala - Don't You Know What I Mean

The GTO's - Girl From New York City

I'm listing this on Wednesday Soul night as Manship has this listed as Soul? I guess it sounds a little soulful, but it also has a twinge of Beach Boy harmonies...oh wait, Brian Wilson wrote it...guess it should have a Beach Boy sound.

The GTO's - Girl From New York City

Pepper Tree- Try

Ok World, I've received zero requests for my proposed request week. I know there is something you're hoping I have that you would like me to post....shoot me an email with a handful of requests. I"m bound to have something poppacool@gmail.com.
For tonight, a little early 70s rock.

Pepper Tree- Try

Ferrari's Of Canada- (All I Ever Want Is) Girls

Nice little 45 from 64 I believe. Has that fun in the sun sound.

Ferrari's Of Canada- (All I Ever Want Is) Girls

Hog Heaven - Prayer

Tommy James & The Shondells took a break in 1970. During the break, the Shondells recorded under the name Hog Heaven. A very underrated album that is fairly easy to find and well worth buying. I picked up my copy when I was 11.

Hog Heaven - Prayer

August 1st -7th Listener request week

I thought I would dedicate August 1st through the 7th as a listener request week. I think by now, everyone has a good idea I like just about every type of 60s music, from garage, soul, psych, top 40, teen, girl group, etc. So post to me requests of artists, songs, record labels. If I have it, I will post it.

By the way, today is Nelson Mandela Day. Take time to learn about this remarkable Human Rights Champion.

"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white
domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Nelson Mandela, from his 1964 I Am Prepared To Die speech.

Joe Frank & The Knights Can't Find A Way

Saturday night with a little mid sixties rock/garage rock.

Judge Dredd -Big Six

Found this in a box of 45s and thought it was pretty funny. Check out the youtube video, if you dare

Judge Dredd - Big Six

Johnny Carver Think About Her All Of The Time

I figure I will get a few "yuck's" out of this one, but I love this song. I am not a big country music fan, but I have come to appreciate some early country. I love Del Shannon and this is another example of a fantastic song he wrote. I don't think he ever recorded it but I can almost here his version in my head.

Johnny Carver Think About Her All The Time

Isley Brothers Summer Breeze

This is one of the earliest songs I remember hearing on the radio (of, course the version I was familiar with was the original by Seals & Croft). Found this within the last year and was amazed at the good version the Isley Brothers did..no "Shout" on this one.

Isley Brothers - Summer Breeze

Jay & The Americans Lets Lock The Door

I thought I would throw a few suprises in this week, stray a little bit from my usual fare. Tonight's installment is a great little early 60s pop song from Jay and The Americans. What a nice shiny promo this is!

Jay & The Americans- Let's Lock The Door

Surf Breakers - Ridin In Number Nine

Surf 45 for my Monday installment. Unknown little group? I had no time to research as usual...school paper research time only. But hey, we have some toons, right?

Surf Breakers - Ridin In Number Nine

Brother Love - Stop and Think of Jesus

Gospel Sunday with Brother Love. This 45 on Epic sank without a trace, but I like it.

Soothsayers I Don't Know & Please Don't Be Mad

60s Greeley Colorado garage band.

Soothsayers - I Don't Know

Soothsayers- Please Don't Be Mad

Untouchables 60 Minute Man

Nice version of the old Dominos song. Sad story, yesterday while looking at records at a local store I found a broken Dominos 60 Minute Man 78. Not that I buy 78s very often, but its always the R&B 78 that is broken and not the Bing Cosby.

Untouchables - 60 Minute Man

Guild Light Gauge - 14th Annual Fun & Pleasure Fair

Paul Simon's brother was in this band.

Guild Light Gauge - 14th Annual Fun & Pleasure Fair

Otis Spann with Fleetwood Mac - Hungry Country Girl

Here is a February pickup. A nice blues number featuring Fleetwood Mac from 1970 I believe

Montage- An Audience With Miss Priscilla Gray

How about a little baroque 60's pop.

Sunrays Loaded With Love

Ok, so I missed last night. I was working on my first paper for my second class and completely spaced my posting. Almost forgot tonight as a matter of fact. The Sunrays were managed by Murray Wilson, father of Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. They were well known as a surf group, but this is sure a soulful number.

Sunrays- Loaded With Love

Inmates Never Look Behind & Poison Ivy JCP label

Some nice North Carolina garage on the fantabulous JCP label.

Inmates- Never Look Behind

Inmates-Poison Ivy

Big Game Hunters - See The Cheetah

I think Friday Nights will feature female vocals. How about a little soul, baby!

Big Game Hunters - See The Cheetah

Spring Fever - Stop!

Nice Beach Boys sounding late 60's pop.
